Long Road Ahead [Completed]

Chapter 28 - End pt. 1

Kevin's POV

The day had been eventful.
Edd and I had spent it go around the island like other tourists.
We had went scuba diving,

surfing,

swimming,

hiking,

and such other things.
We both were having a blast, but when we got to our hotel room we both collapsed onto our bed.

"Today was fun," Edd yawned.

I nodded in reply.

"I think I'm going to take a shower," he said stand in up.

I nodded as he walked past me.

The next thing he said was barely loud enough to reach my ears, like he was embarrassed to say it, "you could join me if you wanted to."

I don't think he noticed that I heard but when I stood up and followed him both of us couldn't hide our bright red cheeks.

"You heard?" He asked, all sassiness gone from his voice and embarrassment replaced in it as he spoke softly.

I nodded, "yeah, but I don't-"

"No!" He yelled quickly and blushing even more. "No," he repeated quieter. "You can, I just- I didn't think you would hear me."

It was my turn to blush, "if it's okay with you."

He watched me quietly, nodded slowly, and stuttered out, "Yeah, of course."

I nodded too.

He took a deep breathe, neither of us had done anything remotely close to sex together, save the heavy making out, so this was a big step for us.

I was nervous, but Edd was even more so, I took his hand into mine, placing a gentle kiss onto it.

When I looked up at him he was looking back at me his blue eyes glimmering in the light.

I couldn't hold it back, I had to kiss him. I had held on for so long to not jump him, but now- us being married and after a nice day on our honeymoon... I couldn't control it.
I smashed my face against him, gripping into
his hips pushing him against the wall.

It didn't take long for him to kiss me in return, placing his hands on the sides of my face.

It began to get even more heated and I tore off his shirt.

We continued our make out session, every now and then stopping so we could rip off each others clothes, they were in the way anyway in a sense.

When we pulled out lips apart, sweat running down our faces, gasping for breath, we rested our heads together.

"Wow," Edd whispered hoarsely.

I nodded, "yeah."

We stood there leaning against the bathroom wall like that for a few more moments until Edd broke the silence.

"Maybe we should shower."

"Yeah," I nodded unable to find more words.

After our shower we had experienced each other for the first time in our relationship.
It wasn't like my others. It wasn't just intercourse, it was special. Cliche as it may seem, it was.
We took it slow, expressing our love for each other.

"Kev?" Edd whispers quietly as he cuddled up to my chest.

"Yes my husband?" I answer pushing the stray hairs out of his face. It felt so good to call him that, I'm never going to get over it.

"I-um.." He stopped himself from talking more.

I sat up, frowning, "what's wrong?"

He sighed, "Nothing..."

"It's not nothing," I sighed. It was clear something was on his mind. "What's bothering you baby?"

He didn't look up at me, keeping his eyes at the foot of the bed, "I know it's random... But... Do you want kids?"

I nodded, "eventually, yes."

He nodded slowly.

"Do you?" I ask raising his head to look at me in the eyes to see his emotions.

He took a few seconds to think. His eyes were hard to read, but he was emotional..

"Only if they're like you," he finally said.

It took me a moment to process what he said.
Why-?
Why would he say that?
Why would he- why wouldn't he want them to be like him?

I couldn't hide the hurt in my eyes as I frowned at him, "Edd, why would you say that?"

He looked away, taking a deep breathe, and when I got him to look back at me we was close to tears.

"We both know I have flaws!"

"Edd-" I started but he continued.

"I have medical problems! I have mental disorders! I have-"

"I don't car-"

He cut me off again, tears running down his beautiful face, "In high school the reason I didn't have my parents around and didn't have a phone and was depressed was because my mom had a miscarriage after eight months of her pregnancy. It sent me into more of an uncontrollable depression. I felt alone- I felt upset at the world. It wasn't fair that my little sister didn't make it, but a- I was here...Living, breathing... It wasn't fair. It isn't..."

His voice drifted off growing more weak as he went along and my heart wrenched at the thought of everything he went through.

I was close to tears, but I had to be strong, I whipped the tears away from his face.
I pull him onto my chest more, kiss his head, and whisper, "sorry I didn't know."

He sighs, taking a deep breathe, and replies, "me too."

We lay in bed for a long moment before I can find the words I was looking for, "We all have family problems darling. I mean I had an abusive dad, mom that skipped, and I haven't seen my sister since she was a couple months old."

Edd nodded and whispers in reply, "Don't you want to find your sister at some point?"

He looks up at me wanting to see my true reaction and I didn't even have to think as I replied, "You're the only family I need."
