What About Us

chapter 15

The ride home from the hospital was perfect. I held Carter's hand as I drive home
But when we got home, that was the hardest
1When we got home (my house) it got awkward

Q drove home and when we got out of the car I saw my aunt's car was in the drive we got out and went inside my aunt is sitting in the big chair reading a romance novel and she looked up at us then our intertwined fingers and smiled

"Hay you two what's up" she says
I just blush and smile at her

"We are going to my room aunt may" and pull him by his arm to my room
We get to the stairs and I grab the rail and try to get my leg on the first stair when Carter picks me up bridal style and walks up the stairs with me in his arms
"I love you Ray" he kisses my nose and I wrap my arms around his neck he kicks my bedroom door open and sets me on the bed
"Are you hungry?" He asks setting down between my legs on the floor he lays his head on my lap and I Pat his hair
"You just got out of the hospital. Shouldn't I be taking care of you ?" I ask looking at him
"Yah but you are carrying my children and I need to take care of you " he says kissing my hand "so I ask again are you hungry" he looks at me with the grin I feel in love with
"Yea I'm hungry" I say patting my belly
"What do you want to eat "
"Well I'm having weird cravings so don't be surprised. I want pickles, chocolate donuts and mint ice cream" he looks at me for a second
"I'll make that a double and we can watch TV " he gets up and walks to the door "pick a movie I'll be right back"
I get up and walk over to my TV set and look through my movies I pick out 'the outsiders' I  always loved this movie I don know why. I have had some Friends tell me that it is depressing but I ship ponyboy and Johnny so I watch it to see all of the Johnnnyboy moments
Carter walks in the room with a arm load of food we lay on my silky bedspread
"I never thought I'd be back in this room with you" he looks at me "what movie did you pick ?"
"The outsiders. Have you ever seen it ?" I say
"No. but if you like it then so will I " he wraps his arm around me and I lay my head on his chest throwing my arm over him and we watch

About thirty minutes in I have to go pee so we pause it

"So what do you think so far" I ask when I get back in the room
"I like sodapop he is cool. But I'm kind of glad that Bob guy died he was an ass" he says
I smerk at him and walk over to him
"We should finish the movie" I say picking up the jar of pickles and I can't open it I struggle with it for a minute when I look up and see Carter looking at me I hand him the jar with a sigh and he opens it with ease
'Time skip'
Author note !
If you haven't see the outsiders and want to see it I'm sorry but I'm about to spoil it
If you don't want to read it then don't I'm not forcing you!

We  are watching the movie and we are at the part after the rumble and ponyboy and dally are at the hospital I feel tears when I hear Johnny whisper "stay gold ponyboy...Stay gold" then he dies
I look over at Carter who's eyes are glossy he notices me and wipes away his tears
On the TV Darry just got a phone call from dally who just robbed a store as we watch and the police  shoot I feel Carter moving when I look at him his whole face is wet from tears  when it is over he looks at me and says "you know I felt what pony felt when he lost Johnny when I lost you"
He gets up and I see something square in his pocket I don't bother asking him what it is because he walks to the bath room with out a word.

*CARTER'S POV *

When I get to the bathroom I pull of the little black box from my pocket and set it on the sink looking at it
I gonna do it today I don't want to lose her again
I walk out of the bathroom with the box behind my back
Here I go

*Ray's POV*
I see Carter walk out and he crouches down on one knee in front of me
"Ray I love you so much and I will love you till the day I leave this earth ..." He pulls a black box from his pocket and opens it 
"Ray one of these days you will stop being the only person I love and I will love two smaller versions of you and they will call you mommy you arey life from the first day I saw you I knew I'd spend the rest of my life either in your arms or fighting to be " he is crying now and so am I I have my hands over my mouth
"Ray will you marry me so I don't have to fight any more " he says holding the box out to me
"Carter you never had to fight ...
YES! Yes I'll marry you Carter " I slide off the side of the bed and wrap my arms around his and cry on his chest
"I love you " he says pulling away and grabbing my left hand sliding the ring on my finger
"I love you too" I kiss him sweetly
