In Drummer Heaven

Baby Chuck Taylor's

"I don't know, Tommy. What the hell are we supposed to get for a baby shower gift?" I ask him as we wander aimlessly through the mall.

Tommy and the rest of Crüe have been back in Los Angeles for about a month and a half. Both of our bands have been putting in a lot of time at the studio recording new albums. Elsewhere Dani and CC's baby is going to be delivered within the first couple of weeks of September. With Labour Day weekend quickly approaching Rose is throwing a baby shower for her but this baby shower is going to have all the guys there too.

"Well do you know if they're having a boy or a girl?" Tommy asks and I shake my head.

"They want it to be a surprise." I explain. "I love her to death but she's making this a bigger pain in the ass than it had to be."

"It would be easier if we knew the gender." He agrees. "I mean everything is pink and fucking blue."

"It's CC's kid, even if it's a boy I'm willing to bet that the kid will wear pink boas and metallic jackets." I admit with a laugh and he smiles.

We walk into a baby store and like Tommy said everything in the first three aisles was either pink or blue. As we wander through the store we start to find some gender neutral stuff but then it's like white. White doesn't stay clean long especially if it's being draped over a crying, shitting, puke machine. Don't ever tell Dani that I called her unborn child that.

After a while I decided that I was just going to buy her a crap ton of baby bath time stuff. Like that no more tears soap and shampoo, baby oil, and stuff like that. I picked up wash cloths and little hooded baby towels with frogs on them. Tommy ran to the pharmacy and bought a box of condoms as a joke to 'prevent more little CC's' as he put it. It's going to be a complete and utter joke and hopefully it goes over well. CC I think will just want to use the condoms like right then and there.

Somehow while loading the basket with baby bath time stuff I lost my husband. Like did he get bored and leave? I'm not quite sure how I managed to loose a six foot two giant but I did. I wander around the aisles looking for him for about five minutes before I find him looking at baby shoes.

"Hey babe, what ya doing?" I ask and walk up beside him.

"I uh." He laughs and grabs my wrist.

Tommy holds my hand palm up then clovers my eyes with the hand that was holding my wrist. Something is placed in my hand and Tommy uncovers my eyes. Sitting in my hand is a black baby Chuck Taylor's sneaker bootie thing. I smile as soon as I see it then I look down to see that both Tommy and I are wearing black Chuck Taylor's.

"This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen!" I admit and he laughs.

I mean this would be the kind of thing our baby would wear if Tommy and I were to become parents. I mean the baby would be completely adorable, I'd definitely hope that the baby would look like Tommy though. The baby would wear little baby Chuck Taylor's, little baby Blackhawks jerseys, or little baby Yankees merchandise. Tommy would be an absolutely amazing father and I think I have it in me to be a good mom. One thing is for sure that baby would be so so so loved. We could be a perfect little family.

I look up at Tommy who is already looking down at me. I smile and glance back at the shoes the back to my husband's gorgeous eyes.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asks quietly.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask just as quiet.

"I kinda want to be a dad, Darcy." Tommy admits. "Do you, uh, want to try to have a baby?"

"Yeah." I admit quietly and he grins. "I want to have a baby."

Tommy kisses me quickly then drops the little Chuck Taylor's into the basket. He grabs my hand and starts towards the check out quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey. Slow down a bit, T-Bone. You're legs are longer than mine and you're going to pull my arm out of the fucking socket." I say and he instantly stops.

"Sorry, babe." He apologizes and kisses the top of my head. "I keep forgetting how short you are."

"I'm tall in my band." I remind him and he laughs.

"So am I so what's your point?" Tommy asks with a laugh and I smile.

"You're an asshole." I say and he kisses my lips as soon as I get the words out.

"I know but you married me. That makes me your asshole until death do us part." He says matter of factly and I laugh. "Didn't think that one through, now did ya, my beautiful idiot." Tommy says like a little kid which causes me to laugh again and he grins. "I love your laugh, that's why I make stupid jokes all the time. I just want to hear your laugh."

"I love when you make me laugh." I tell him and kiss his chin. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." Tommy tells me and kisses my lips again.

"Why were you in such a hurry anyways?" I wonder and his grin crosses his face again.

"We agreed that we were going to start trying to have a baby." He starts and I nod. "I really want to start like now but you're against fucking in public." Tommy states and I laugh. "See why I want to go home now?" He wonders and kisses my cheek. "Can we go now?"

"We have to buy this stuff first." I remind him.

"Okay, come on." He says and starts dragging me towards the check out again.

Yeah, I want there to be more people like him in the world. People who can always make others laugh just to hear them laugh, the world needs more people like Tommy Lee.
