Crying Out For Me

"I wish you could be home with us." I said looking at Micah.

"I'll be home really soon."

"Marsh, what was that gift you had to give me a couple of months ago."

"I almost forgot about that. Let's see. I put it in baby boy's crib." Micah crawled to the couch and I searched the crib for something before my finger got snagged on something. I grabbed it and sat down on the couch.

"What is this?" I asked and picked Micah up and he sat in my lap with his head against my chest.

"Open it." He said and so I opened it quickly.

"Oh my god." I said looking at the package. It was a diamond necklace and a note that asked me to be his date to the MTV Awards.

"So will you?" He asked.

"Yes." I said and slipped the necklace on.

"Good, I got one more prize for you and Micah." He said and I chuckled.

"Okay." I said and he told me he had to go and we hung up. I heard a stereo playing that song from that movie Say Anything. I walked to the window and there Marshall was holding the radio over his head. I laughed and walked with Micah downstairs. The girls were running to the door with me. I ran out of the house and smiled. My hair up in a ponytail and I was in one of Marshall's shirt and his sweats. Micah reached out for Marshall and smiled. He set the Boombox down and I ran to him. He hugged and kissed the kids and then me.

"Hey." He said and after passing Micah to Alaina I kissed him. I missed the way his hands would wrap around every curve and nerve. I missed how blue his eyes were. I missed feeling his stubble and watching him shave. I missed his tattoos. I just missed him. He planted his lips on mine.

"Hi." I said and he smiled.

"Are you hungry?" He asked and I nodded kissing him softly. He looked at me and grinned.

"Yes, but I have something I wanna show you." I said and we all walked inside. Nathan had just awoken so I passed him Micah.

"We'll be down in 20 minutes." He told Nathan and then we walked upstairs. We turned on the shower water and climbed in. My ovaries could've popped at the very second. I climbed into his arms and we balanced ourselves on the wall. He kissed my neck and rubbed my back.

"I missed you so much." He said and kissed my cheek. It was a complete shock to my immune system.

"I love you." I said and he kissed me. We lathered each other down in soap and we stood under the water. He hugged me as I started crying.

"I missed you so much." I cried and he cried too. We stopped talking and I heard him humming.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Listening to my favorite song." He said.
