Kids (a MIKA fanfic)

worry

"heyo" Eve beamed as she reentered the kitchen to see her parents sitting on the floor together. She came and sat with us, holding both of our hands "what wong?" she asked me curiously.

"I'm ok. I just needed to calm down a bit" I smiled back at her.

Eve gave the two of us a cheeky smile before bouncing up and out of the room.

"uh oh" Micheal glanced at me nervously. We knew that look all too well.

"I knew her brilliant behaviour wouldn't last." I commented, pulling myself off the ground and placing down the now empty glass of water to free my hand and help him up.

Micheal gladly took my hand and kept it in his to lead us into the living room where our daughter was.

Evelyn was sat on the carpet with her dolls. She looked up at us and quickly threw one of them in our direction.

"No Evelyn! Don't throw your toys at people!" I scolded, picking up all the dolls that I could and placing them out of her reach. Micheal took her to 'the naughty step' and sat her down before leaving her to cry her usual "sorry"s.

"Ok then." he snickered as he walked up to me and pressed his lips against mine. I smiled at his gesture.

"You know that she has most likely done something else right?" i whispered into his ear causing him to chuckle. We had to stay quiet because she would scream if she heard us talking. Don't ask why cause I don't know. "She has been badly behaved but that doesn't explain the cheeky smile"

"I know but I wanted to spend this minute alone with you rather then searching" He told me. He kissed me again, pulling me into him more.

Suddenly everything went quiet and Micheal and I instinctively pulled away. We looked to the doorway to see Eve looking right back at us, once again smiling cheekily. I could feel Micheal tense up against me as his face turned red.

"Back on the naughty step. you haven't been told that you can come off yet have you? That's an extra minute now" he told her sharply causing her to drop the smile and quickly go back out of the room. "Where were we?" he smirked, turning back to me and instantly reconnecting our lips.

"I love you" I told him causing him to leave my lips for my neck and start gently kissing there.

"I love you too" he mumbled happily before pulling away and leaving to go and talk to Eve who was once again crying.

I sighed happily. How had it nearly been two years since our child was born? That made it nearly three years since I proposed to Micheal. How different things were then. We'd come so unbelievably far from where we were when we met. I didn't know where I would've been if it wasn't for him. Probably with a job that i didn't like, single or nowhere near as in love as I was with Micheal, barely anywhere with my transition and very unhappy.

I sat down and pulled out my phone to ring Kirsty. I had to sort a few things with her to help me calm my nerves.

We talked for a while, leaving Micheal to spend some time with Evelyn. I got the dates for when we would be going solo and I also learned that the usual band would be with me as I would be doing solo shows at a separate time to Micheal. We were both doing our shows in the UK when we were alone and we would do our last shows in the south of England so we were to stay and then meet back up in Cornwall. Kirsty said that management were going to give us a week break so that we could have a holiday in Cornwall with everyone and Micheal and I could catch up again after about two weeks apart.

I relayed this information to my husband.

"Two weeks aye? That's worse than we thought" he breathed, clearly annoyed as he pushed his hand through his hair. "I can't be away from you for two weeks"

"I know but there's not much we can do now; everything is booked and tickets go on sale in a couple of days. I'll FaceTime you everyday and text you after the shows but for now, we'll just have to make the most of the time that we've got" i winked and nudged him suggestively.

Micheal laughed at my comment and nodded before looking to the floor sadly.

"We'll be ok" I reassured, rubbing his arm comfortingly "There's nothing that can break us and i truly believe that. You'll never get rid of me!"

"Daddy come pway" Eve begged "pwease"

"We'll be there in a second" I told her before kissing Micheal gently and following her over to her toy pile.
