This is a part 2 of a oneshot I did a while ago. It was when Veronica and Archie had a miscarriage, and now this is about how they healed.
Veronica's POV
3 days after the miscarriage
I'm sitting on the couch staring at the television not even paying attention to the show that is on. "Babe, are you hungry" Archie asks sitting down next to me. I shake my head but stay silent. I can't talk. It's impossible, my voice died along with my baby.
Archie's POV
She stays silent after I ask her about being hungry. I look down and consider to remind her that she wasn't hungry earlier either, but I don't. I can't push her. It's almost like I can't remember how to talk to her.
2 months after the miscarriage
"I can't take this anymore Archie!" She yells. I throw my hands up "What do you want from me?! I try to help you and you push me away. I step back and you stop eating and talking. Do you expect me to let you disappear into..." I fade out. "Into what Archie? Seriously everything is coming out now so don't hold back" she says. "Into nothing!" I snap at her, instantly regretting it. We promised we wouldn't let the miscarriage ruin us. But sometimes no matter how much you want it to work, some promises have to be broken.
Veronica's POV
"Into nothing!" He snaps. I look at him in shock and I can tell that something between us broke with those two words. "I haven't faded into nothing. And I know that because I feel everything. I'm not fading away I'm dying. I feel like I'm dying, Archie. And there is nothing anyone can do to fix me, including you" I say with tears forming in my eyes. "And you don't think I'm dying too?" He asks "We both went through that. That was our baby, but I'm trying here. I'm trying to fix us, because we promised each other this wouldn't break us" he says. I wipe the tears off my face and take a deep breath "I know" I say quietly "And it won't."
6 months after the miscarriage
"Veronica how do you feel today" our therapist asks me. I push my hair out of my face "I feel good. I'm back at work and I finally feel like I'm myself again" I say. My therapist smiles slightly. "That's wonderful. What about you Archie, how are you?" She asks looking over at Archie who is sitting right next to me. When we first started therapy we sat on opposite ends of the couch with our bodies pointed away from each other, but today we're both in the middle of the couch. Sometimes his hand brushes against my leg, if that would've happened before I would've dodged his touch but today I feel a jolt of electricity through my body. "I'm good. I'm working and I'm even playing my guitar again" he says. I smile and look back at our therapist "Veronica where do you think your relationship is at? Have you improved, in your opinion?" She asks narrowing her eyes. "Yes. While we still have things to work on I just feel like when the miscarriage happened there was just... resentment. I love Archie, even when part of me hated him I loved him. But it hurt before, and now it doesn't" I say. She smiles "Do you agree, Archie?" She asks. "Absolutely. I've never stopped loving her, and I think it hurt so much because it would've been easier to just not be in love anymore, but that wasn't the case, we had to fight" Archie says before taking my hand. I lace my fingers with his and smile at him "You two seem happier. But do you think this is a real happiness, are you two talking about the miscarriage? What happened? What could've been?" She asks. I take a deep breath "yes. It's not easy but we talk about it. I don't think the pain will completely go away, but I think we're at a place where we can move forward" I say. "I agree" Archie says nodding. "Have you two spoken about trying again to have a baby?" She asks. My stomach flips and I look at Archie who is already looking at me. "I want a baby... but not now. It's too soon" I say honestly. "Yeah. It's soon" Archie says. We look at our therapist and she smiles at us "last thing..." she starts. "I asked you two before if you were having sex and you said no, are you now?" She asks. I look at Archie "No we haven't" he says. "That is normal" she says "Most therapists can't say this to their patients but, you two don't need me anymore. You're happy and in love, that's exactly how it should be. That was our goal... so on that note I am breaking up with you both" she says smiling. Archie squeezes my hand and smiles at me and I smile back. Something in me shifts and I feel the need to kiss him. To touch him. I need him.
Archie's POV
"Are you sure, Ronnie" I whisper. My hands are on her waist as she straddles my lap. Her hands are in my hair and she's looking at me in a way she hasn't looked at me in in months. "Yes. I want you. All of you" she whispers. I sigh and pull her closer to me, connecting our lips. She moans into the kiss pushing me further to my breaking point. I begin ravaging at her neck and the way she leans her head back and moans tells me that she likes it. I haven't heard her moans, felt her body, or kissed her like this in over 6 months. I didn't know how much I needed her till now. Her hands go down to the hem of my shirt and she starts pulling it up. I pull away from her neck to take my shirt off and when I look back at her neck there are multiple hickeys going from her breast to her jaw. She ignores all the marks I left on her and she starts kissing me forcefully. I reach behind her and Start to unzip her dress. When the zipper gets to the bottom she pulls it over her head, leaving her body completely exposed. I take my time to examine the woman on my lap. Her legs, her underwear, her bra, her everything. I haven't seen her like this in so long that it's impossible to look away. "Are you going to gawk at me all night or are you going to take me upstairs for a good time?" She asks. I smile at her and kiss her again before I wrap my arms around her and jump off the couch, heading for our bedroom.
Veronica's POV
We separate for the 6th time, gasping for as much air as we did the times before. "Wanna go again?" Archie asks turning to face me. "It's 3am" I say still gasping for air. "Yes. And 7th times the charm" he says winking. I roll my eyes "No there have been many charms" I say. He laughs "sleep?" I nod my head and absentmindedly move my head onto his chest and I listen to his heartbeat as I drift off into sleep.
Present day: 3 years after the miscarriage
Archie's POV
I wake up to the sound of Veronica's soft singing voice and I smile. I rub the sleep from my eyes and I stand out of bed, heading towards her voice. I walk down the stairs and I see her in the kitchen singing to our 6 month old daughter. I smile as our daughter, Cassidy, starts babbling when she sees me. Veronica turns her head, sees me and smiles. "Good morning, sexy" she says smiling at me. I laugh "good morning." I lean down to kiss her but careful not to crush the baby on her hip. "And good morning to you, baby girl" I say while taking Cassidy from her hip. I smile at my daughter as she babbles and drools, but I'm still mesmerized. I often think of our first baby, and how everything would be so different. But then I often remember that after we fixed our relationship we were better than ever. I love my wife and my daughter, more than life.
Hope you guys like this, I got this idea and I couldn't wait till the other book was done to do it 😂
