I lost, but i fought 2 || J.B

Chapter 19

The next morning I wake up with a muscular and tattooed arm draped around me, and I'm in my bed. As far as I can remember I fell asleep in Lucas's room. I turn around and I face the love of my life, even though I don't think he knows it. Justin is peacefully sleeping next to me, his shirt off and the duvet only covering his legs. His tattoos are beautiful, I love the cross tattoo spread across his chest. I take my finger and I slowly trace the lines. he doesn't even acknowledge my touch in his sleeping state.

"Mommy?" a sleepy Lucas asks. I hum silently. "is daddy still here?" he asks climbing up in the bed and making me lay on my back so he can sit on my stomach. Lucas is staring at the sleeping Justin adoringly. "One boy in the park was bullying Ariel" Lucas starts, I stare at him in shock, but he doesn't notice as he's still staring at Justin. "the boy said that Ariel was weird because her daddy wasn't like her" he pauses, the boy probably thought fredo was her dad, and as he's black and she's white. "and Ariel said she didn't have a daddy, and the boy laughed" he says sadly finally looking at me with a sad look. "I told the boy he was mean, and he shoved me" he says still looking at me and I nod, so he knows I'm listening. "I shoved him back, and he started crying, but he was so mean so I didn't say sorry" he says shamefully. I think he's telling me because he feels guilty. I sit up in the bed, and now I notice that I'm only in a black tank top, and it's not mine it's justin's.

"baby, what you did was very sweet, but you know you should not shove people and then not say sorry" I tell him not too strictly. he nod to show he understand, and I don't bother pushing any longer as i can tell he feels guilty.

"is daddy going to stay so that no one can bully Ariel again?" he asks eyeing Justin again.

"I hope so, and I think he will, he already loves you" I tell him and a triumphant smile spreads across his face. 

"I hope so too" he says climbing off me and shoves Justin shoulder so he falls from his side to his back, Lucas sits down on his stomach just like he did to me only seconds ago. he sits there for a while looking at Justin with his head cocked to the side. "daddy?" he asks poking Justin's cheek. Justin groans and slowly opes his eyes. he smiles a small tired smile when he sees Lucas sitting in front of him.

"Good Morning" he says, taking one hand in my hair and combing his fingers through it.

"it is indeed a good morning" Lucas says, making both me and Justin gape at him. his choice of words are so grown up and smart. "daddy is here and Mommy is here, if Ariel was here to share the joy with us it would be perfect" he continues with his smart words. He climbs off Justin and jumps out of my big bed. he walks out of the bedroom and heads off to who knows where. I laugh a little when he's out of sight.

"but he's right, this is close to perfect" I say laying back down from my seated position. Justin hums in agreement before pulling me closer to him. he kisses my lips slowly and I kiss him back. even though it's been three years since I last saw him, since I last kissed him, this feels so right, like it was never gone.

"I've missed you so much" he sighs, I just bury my face in the crook of his neck. I hear him sniffle and I look up to see him crying. I don't say anything, I just remove the tears with my thumbs and lean in to kiss him. just before our lips meet i hesitate.

"never leave, I can't take it, Lucas won't be able to handle it and what if Ariel never get to meet you, promise?" I ask, my eyes closed as I wait for a answer, he doesn't answer for a while so I pull away. "please" I say feeling tears well up in my still closed eyes. I have to open them, I look at Justin, he's holding my hand, looking at it closely.

"the ring?" he asks in disbelief. "you kept it on after all this time?" I nod.

"it's your promise" I say, I turn my hand so he can look at my tattooed wrist. The white ink tattoo is diffidently a tattoo I will never regret getting. "My promise lies in my tattoo, I said I would get better if you helped me, I did. I promised Lucas I would always follow my dreams, I did. This my dear, this is where my promises lay" I say proudly. Justin blinks at it for a while before he turns and shows me that he has almost the exact same one behind his ear. it's black ink and smaller, but it's still a treble clef.

"of course I promise you" he takes the ring off my finger and I let out a little whine. "again I use this ring, the ring that looks exactly like the one I gave you six years ago at the hospital, the one that held my promises, the promises that were destined to be broken" he starts what seems like a long speech. "three years ago I gave you this ring in hope that you would be my girlfriend, that you would be mine. luckily for me you said yes, but those promises was also destined to be broken, and now I want to give it to you again" he says looking me directly in the eyes, his light brown eyes melting into mine. "but this time, with two extra people added to what seems to be our family, I will fight for these promises, more that I have ever fought before, I shall never loose this fight, no matter how much destiny want to break the promises I won't let them, so Hannah, darling, will you be mine? and let me be a part of our beautiful family?" he finishes with a proud smile on his lips, hope in his eyes.
