Bleeding Hearts (Norman Reedus)

Back to normal

(Norman's POV)

I drove since Ashley's wasn't able to drive long distance. It didn't take her long to go to sleep, I bet she didn't sleep the drive here. I just couldn't believe we was back together, I felt like I was a complete man again instead of half a man just a empty shell. I thought as I looked at her sleeping body and her little belly bump that had my twin daughters growing inside.

I smiled and genitally rubbed her belly making her smile in her sleep. I had to stop for gas in Pennsylvania. Sean got out and pumped his gas, he shook his head and me and smiled.

"So are you getting ready to be a grand-pa?" Sean asked.

"Surprisingly yes, I'm more surprised that Mingus is taking it as well as I expected." I said as we went in to pay for gas.

"Well back on the road bro." Sean said as I nodded and got into the Jeep to see Ashley looking at me with her sleepy gaze.

"Is everything ok?" Ashley asked.

"Yes...just getting gas." I said as she smiled at me and held my hand in hers before closing her eyes.

It didn't take her long to go back to sleep. All I could was to smile and continue to drive. I ended up driving all the way to our home in NC before I woke her up genitally. I genitally nudged her to get her to wrap her arms around my neck so I could take her into the house.

Billy opened the door for me. I smiled at him while looking around for Roxie but there was no sign of her which didn't surprise me since it was 3:20 in the morning. Sean and Missy helped carry in our belongings with Mingus right at our heels.

"Where is Roxie?" Mingus asked as I took Ashley's sleeping body upstairs to our bedroom.

"She's is in her room fast asleep." Billy said as Mingus nodded.

It didn't take me long to get to our room and place Ashley in our bed. Once in bed I took off her shoes and noticed her feet were swollen so I placed a pillow under them and looked at our family picture that was on my pillow on the side of the bed I slept on. I slowly closed my eyes and placed the picture on the night stand beside our bed before going back downstairs to get Sean, Missy and Gunner settled in.

"We will talk about everything once everyone get's some sleep." I said as I nodded Mingus to his room.

Alice and Cooper found their bed that hadn't been moved and laid down and went to sleep. Then I gave Missy and Sean as well as Mel and Jeff their own room.

"I thought Roxie was at Jeff and Mel's." I said.

"She was until you told her that you two we're coming home so she asked me to come and get her." Billy said as I nodded.

I watched as Mingus walk up the stairs. He didn't stop at his room he continued and went to Roxie's and peered inside since her door was open.

"I just placed her in bed not even 30 minutes before you arrived, she wanted to stay up to see you guys but Michael wouldn't allow it. He's been giving her a hard time lately." Billy said as I looked at him.

"How?" I asked.

"He's been draining her, even though she's been taking her vitamins he's been taking almost all of her energy." Billy said. "But that is what healthy babies do." He added as he handed me a picture. "That is her 3D ultra sound picture...you know who he is going to look like." He said laughing.

"The girl's are beautiful too...Ashley's 3D ultra sound came today too." Lisa said holding the pictures. I smiled when I seen my daughters they we're holding each other smiling.
