Tommy

I look up to see Katie leaning in the bedroom doorway looking at me as I start to gather my suitcases. She crosses her arms and sorta glares at me.

"Don't look at me like that." I say and she scowls. "Katie, you know that this is my job."

"I realize that." She mumbles and looks down.

"Then why are you acting like this?" I ask a little harsher than I meant to.

See, that would've been fine if Katie wasn't pregnant. My wife's hormones are all out of whack so me snapping at her is going to fuck with her. I didn't realize that until my little wife looks up again.

Katie's eyes meet mine again and her pretty hazel eyes are swimming in tears. She tries to blink them back but as soon as she blinks the tears start to roll down her cheeks. Katie wipes them away before she thinks I see them and narrows her eyes again. Before I can say anything she turns on her heels and walks away.

"Now you've done it, Tommy." I mutter and start after her. "Katie, come on!" I call after her.

I make it out into the hallway and I see the closet door close. I don't pretend to understand why my wife has elected to hide in the closet but I'm not going to try to get into her pregnant brain.

I roll my eyes and open up the closet door, Katie is standing against the towels. I step into the closet with my wife and close the closet door behind me, Katie look up at me confused with tears in her eyes.

"I guess we're going to start fighting early, huh?" She sniffs and wipes her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater.

"It tour, it's going to be the death of us." I whisper and kiss her forehead. "No matter what happens this tour I love you and Melody and our twins more than anything."

"I wish you weren't going." Katie admits and touches my sides. "I know you have to but I wish there was another way. Without groupies and whore, without you being away from Melody, without you and me fighting. That would be perfect."

"Katie, I've told you a million times I don't care about groupies and whores." I remind her.

"I don't know, I feel like I hold you back or something. We had Melody so young--" Katie starts with tears rallying in her eyes again.

"Stop it, Katie." I stop her and lift her chin so she's looking at me.

I smile as soon as our eyes meet again, there's no way in hell that I'd ever go for anyone else. I'm looking at my whole world right here. I lean down and press my lips to hers, I can instantly feel Katie's anxieties about me and the groupies melting away. I pull back and she gives me a small smile.

"You and Melody are the greatest things that have ever and will ever happen to me, okay?" I wonder and peck her lips which makes her smile broaden. "You and our children are my whole world. I didn't settle and you're not holding me back, okay?" I ask and kiss her again. "I love you."

"I love you." She whispers.

"I'm sorry I made you cry." I admit with a laugh and she smiles.

"I'm sorry my hormones are all fucked up." Katie laughs and I kiss her forehead again.

"You're okay, baby." I promise her.

Katie

The ride to the airport was silent.

Melody had spent most of the morning bawling her eyes out and it breaks my fucking heart. Tommy hates seeing Melody crying especially if he's the reason, she hates when her daddy goes on tour and Tommy hates being away from Melody.

Now we're standing in the airport, Nikki, Vince, and Mick are around too. Nikki and Vince are trying to make Melody smile again but it's not working, she's going to miss the three of them too. Tommy pulls me into his side and kisses my temple.

"This fucking sucks, Katie." He mumbles and I frown. "I'm not just leaving you which is hard, I'm not just leaving you and Melody, I'm leaving you, Melody, and our twins."

"We're all going to miss you like crazy, Tommy." I assure him. "We all love you so fucking much too."

"Yeah?" Tommy smiles and kisses my nose. "Promise?"

"I swear." I laugh and he kisses my lips.

"Your kid is around!" Vince complains and we laugh.

"Daddy." Melody reaches for Tommy.

My husband takes her from Nikki arm and hugs her into him. I love watching Tommy and Melody interact but at the same time it hurts me because they never want to let go. I'm left to make Melody feel better after the plane leaves taking her daddy and her uncles.

"I love you, little lamb." Tommy tells her. "Promise me that you'll be good for mama and your teachers."

"I promise, daddy." She sniffs and I frown.

"Hey, don't cry." He whispers and kisses her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too, daddy." Melody mumbles.

Tommy grabs my hand and pulls me into his side again, he hugs me into Melody and himself. I wrap my arms around both my husband and my daughter, Tommy kisses the top of my hand and squeezes us a little tighter.

I really don't know how long Tommy held onto us and it didn't really matter. I'm going to miss him as soon as he lets go. But either way we stayed like that until Nikki cleared his throat.

"T, I know you don't want to but we have to go catch our flight." He says calmly and Tommy groans.

"Okay, okay." Tommy reluctantly agrees. "Go to mama, lamb."

Tommy hands Melody off to me and she's crying again, I hug her into me and Tommy kisses her arm.

"I love you, little lamb. I love you so much." He tells our daughter before looking at me. "Please take care of yourself, Katie."

"I will, I promise." I whisper and he kisses my lips. "I love you." I mumble into Tommy's mouth.

"I love you so much, Katie." Tommy tells me and kisses my forehead.

"I don't want to see you go." I admit.

"Then close your eyes and count to thirty, you too Melody." Tommy says.

I close my eyes and start counting, Tommy kisses me again and Kisses Melody again. When I reach thirty I open my eyes again and Mötley Crüe is gone. It's easier in away but it still fucking sucks.
