Navy Love

11 Mayk



I open my eyes to see Ivan sleeping in the chair next to me. I look to my other side to see Zak starring at me. "Good morning." He whispered softly. Why is he still here? What is he doing?. "Good morning, Help me." I hold my hand up to him. He stands up coming over to me. He helps me stand up leading me to the bathroom. "I hurt all over." i mumble. "Well you did just give birth and died so that might have something to do with it." he whispered. We finally made it over and he shuts the door. I do my thing then get up. I go over to the suitcase in the corner getting my toothbrush out. I brush my teeth then come out to see Zak waiting for me. He comes in the bathroom closing the door. "What are you doing?" i whisper. "You kissed me when you were dead right?" he asks. I felt my face get red hot. Why does he want to know that? I shouldnt have kissed him. "Zak." i sigh.  "Yes or no Harley." he tells me.  "Yes, I didn't know you could feel me." I sigh.  "May I ask why?" He says softly as he stood inches from my face. "I don't know why." I sigh as I look into his eyes. "I see." He then backs up. He then helps me back to the bed. I look over at my two sleeping boys. "One day you'll have a family of your own." I tell Zak.  "One day, for now I'll keep waiting." He sighs.  "Your my family." I tell him. Zak snapped his head up at me shocked. "Really?"  "Really." I smile.  "Id like that." He smiles.  "Good." I lay my head back down. "Hand me my baby." I tell him. He gets up and hands me my sleeping boy. " I love you." I tell him in Russian. "What did you say?" Zak asks me.  "I love you." I smile at him. "Oh okay." He smiles.  Ivan then sits up and looks at me. "How do you feel?" He asks as he comes over to me. "Like crap." I tell him honestly. "I'll be back." He stands up and goes to the bathroom.  "Are you two mad at each other?" I ask Zak.  "No, why?"  "Just wondering." I say. Mayk then opens his eyes. "Good morning handsome." I smile at him.  Ivan then comes out of the bathroom. "I'm starving." He tells me. "Have you fed Mayk yet?"  "No."  "you need to." Ivan hands me a blanket.  I then feed  Mayk. "Well I'm going to get breakfast." Ivan walks out of the room. "I'm a mom." I tell Zak.  "I can't believe it." I lay my head back. "It's crazy." Zak says.  "My little man." I smile. "You should see his room. He's spoiled." I chuckle.  "I'd like to see it one day."  "I'm going to take you home." I smile at him playfully. "Oh am I a prize now?" Zak chuckles happily. "Yes!" I chuckle happily. "Nice to know." He laughs.  "I like you Zak. Your a good man." I tell him as I look down at my baby.  "I try."  "Can I ask you something?" I ask him softly.  "Of course."  He nodded in agreement.  "How come you were such an ass to me? I always saw the good in you I just can't wrap my head in the things you did to me."  "I can't tell you that Mrs. Petrov."  "I understand." I nod my head. "Have you eaten?" I ask him curiously.  "No, I'll wait until Ivan gets back." He watches me with my precious baby boy. "Your going to be a great God father." I tell him.  "Thanks, I hope so."  "You will be." I smile proudly.  Ivan then walks in the room. "How are my two loves doing?"  "Good." I smile at him.  "Good." He sits down in his chair.  "Can we show Zak the babies room?" I plead.  "If that's what you want."  "Yay." I smile. "Zak your coming home with us." I smile at him. "Alright." He nods then pulls out his phone. "Zak go eat, I don't want you to starve." "Yes ma'am." He gets up and walks out. "So you kissed me when you died?" "And hugged you along with sitting in your lap." I tell him as I smile at my baby boy. "I felt you kiss me though." "Where?" I question him to see if he was lying. "My neck." Okay he's telling the truth. "Can I hold him?" Ivan asks me. I kiss his sweet little head then hold him to Ivan. Ivan takes him in his large manly hands holding his son gently. "Hi Mayk." Ivan smiles at his son. Soon Zak comes back in. "The food here is terrible. I feel like I'm back in high school." Zak sits down on his chair. "Sorry." I smile at him. "When do you get out of here?"  "Depends how she's looking today." A doctor comes in checking my machines. He then checks my eyes and ears. "Looking good. You can go home today." He tells me. "Thank god." We take Mayk home while the boys roll me down to the car in a wheelchair. Ivan drove while Zak sat shot gun. We finally arrive to our house. Zak helps me out while Ivan gets Mayk. Zak slowly walks up to the door with me. "It's nothing fancy like your house but it's great for us." I smile at him taking his hand for support. "Have you seen my house?"  "Yes, its huge with a lot of pools and high ceilings." I smile at him.  "How do you know that?"  "I may or may not have seen it on instagram then googled it." I smile at him.  "Stalker." He jokes with me. "Just a little." I laugh opening the door. I pull him to Mayks room.  "Look." I smile proudly of all of his things. Zak looked around the room. "Do you like it?" I ask waiting for his approval . Please like it. We spent so much time fixings it all up for him. "I like it." HE smiles at me. "Good." 
**Several months later***
Mayk is walking and babbling all over the place. "Mayk can you say mama?" I smile at him in Russian. "Mayk say papa." Ivan says from the couch. "Papa." He runs over to him holding his arms up wanting to get picked up. "Ahhhh!!" I freak out. My baby boy is talking! 

**Two years later.*

Ivan and I are going home to see Mayk today. I FaceTime Ivan's mom and she picks up. "Hey Olga, is Mayk there?" I smile into the phone with Ivan's looking over my shoulder. "He's right here."  "Mama, papa!" He smiles at us. He's so cute with his round chubby cheeks big blue eyes. He looks so much like Ivan. He doesn't even look like me. "We are coming home to see you today." I smile at him.  "Today?" He smiles.  "Yes today." I smile at him. "You behaving for babushka?" (Grandma)  "yes papa." He smiles.  "Good boy, mama and I will be home soon."  "Yay." He giggles.  "Is daddy Zak coming?"  "No not this time." Ivan smiles. Ivan and Zak are great friends now. Ivan appreciates him stepping up and paying for my hospital stay. "Is daddy Zak there?"  "I'm right here buddy." Zak says from behind us.  "Daddy Zak!!" Mayk smiles. "Hey buddy how are you?"  "Good, are you going to come see me?" Ivan asks him in English.  "I might show up." Zak winks at him. "Yay!" Mayk smiles. Mayk really loves Zak because Zak spoils him. Zak is such great godfather. We get off the ship and fly to New York. 

I walk in my house and see Mayk playing with his toys. "Hi baby boy." I smile at him.  "Mama!" He drops everything and runs over to me. Ivan then walks in. "Papa!" He runs over to Ivan. He hugged him as he cried tears of joy. My precious baby boy. He has to go months without his parents. One day we will all be home and out of the navy spending family time together. 

We are taking Mayk to the stables. I'm excited because I haven't road in forever. We finally make it to the stables and get out. Ivan gets Mayk out and carries him. The air had a stinging chill to it. "You wanna see the horses?" Ivan ask him.  "Yeah." His little voice jingled from excitement. We finally make it to the stables. We see a beautiful chestnut horse with brown hair and big brown eyes. Ivan goes over and pets it trying to get Mayk to interact with the beautiful creature  



Mayk seemed truly excited to see a horse for the first time. Moments like these I'll treasure. My perfect family. I put my arm around Ivan's hips and lay my head on his shoulder. "Mayk, you wanna see mommy ride?" Ivan smiles at Mayk. "Yeah." He smiles. I pick the horse they were petting them mount. "Mayliska, carful please." Ivan asks me.  "I will." I smile at him. I take Cowboy,the horse, out to the arena. I see barrels and go through them. Ivan and Mayk watched from the bleachers. I do barrel drills with this horse then sprint around the arena. I finally finish and go over to Ivan and my baby boy. "Mayk can sit on my lap and ride with me." I tell Ivan. "Honey I don't want you to drop him."  "I won't."  "I guess, please please don't drop him. "  "have faith in me Ivan. He's my son too. I'm not going to drop him."  "Okay." He comes out to the arena and puts Ivan up on the horse with me. He was giggleing as he sat in front of me. I press my body against his holding him in the seat. I slowly walk around the edge of the arena as Ivan stood over there taking pictures. "Faster." Mayk giggles. I stay at the same pace not wanting to drop him. "You having fun baby boy?" I smile. "Ya." Mayk smiles. I go back over to Ivan. "Smile." He tells us. "Mayk look at me buddy." Ivan smiles. Mayk looks so we snaps the picture. We finish up at the stables then go home. 

It's been three days since we arrived home. I heard a knock on the door. "I got it." I smile and bounce to the door. I open it to see it was Zak with flowers in his hands. "Zachary!" I smile and hug him. "Hey Harley." He hugs me back.  "Where's Mayk?" He smiles. "He's playing with Ivan."  "I got him something." He pulls me to the truck. I see a toy car he could drive. "Ahhh Zachary its perfect."  I bounce up and down. "Let's go get the kid and Ivan before he starts to worry and these are for your table." He hands me the flowers. I smile up at him then give him a half hug. We walk in to see Ivan and Mayk playing toy cars. They always play toy cars. "Mayk look who's here." I smile at him.  They both look up with smiles on their faces. "Hey man." Ivan smiles.  "Hey Ivan." Zak smiles back. Mayk runs up and hugs Zak. "Daddy Zak!!" He runs into Zak's arms.  Zak picks him up in a hug,holding him tight. "Hi buddy." Zak kisses his cheek. He brings Mayk outside. I take Ivan's hand and lead him outside. Zak set Mayk down and brought the car down for him to see. "Here you go buddy." He smiles showing him the toy. Mayk giggled as he got in his little toy car. He drove around in circles. "He drives just like his father." I smile at Zak. "Does not." Ivan chuckles. We watch as Mayk drives around in his little car. "He loves it." I smile at Zak. 

"I'm glad." Zak smiles. We all finally go inside and spend time together. I'm going to treasure spending it with all the people I love.
