Where have you been?

Chapter Ten

We left for tour three weeks later and I was as happy as I've ever been. Everyone has been very supportive about Ronnie and I deciding to make a go of our marriage. All except my father. As much as I hated how my father treated me and how he acted toward Ronnie, there was still a part of me that wanted to have a real relationship with him. I wasn't foolish enough to think that I would ever have that, but I did want it.

"What are you thinking about? You look sad, baby." Ronnie sat next to me on the couch and pulled me close to his side. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Nothing important and I'm very happy." He nodded and kissed my forehead, but he knew I wasn't completely telling him the truth. But with the guys walking on the bus, he decided to let it go.

I tuned out their conversation and just watched him. I loved his smile and his laugh. They made my heart skip a beat and I couldn't help but lean over and kiss his cheek. He rewarded me by kissing my lips long and hard. I laughed as I heard the guys groaning their displeasure about us kissing.

"Get use it, guys. I'm going to be kissing her a lot." He kissed me again and went back to their conversation.

We pulled into the venue for the first show and everyone made their way off the bus. I was in the back grabbing a sweater, when I heard the door click closed. I turned and saw Ronnie standing against it, his eyes running over me.

"What are you doing? Aren't you suppose be getting ready for sound check?" I walked over to him and put my arms around his waist.

"Yeah, but I wanted to see what you were doing." I leaned up and kissed his neck. I felt the shiver that ran through his body and smiled.

"I was chilly. I was just grabbing a sweater."

"My sweater." I laughed and nodded. I felt him kiss the top of my head and squeeze me tight before letting go and grabbing my hand. "Lets go."

There was nothing I loved more than watching Ronnie on stage. The way he moved, the way he put his all into his performance. He's always been amazing. From the first time I saw him on stage to now, he's only gotten better. And his voice, God it was incredible.

I watched his every move and sang with him, every song. He would look at me and smile, mouthing 'I love you.'

I looked at my hand and saw my rings glistening in the dim light. It still seemed unreal, how we found our way back together. How we both had still loved each other, even after ten years apart. I never thought I would be standing side stage watching him again, but I was so glad I was. There wasn't anywhere I would rather be or anyone I'd rather be with.

I finally felt like my life was complete. I mean, I have a wonderful husband, an amazing job that gave me the freedom to be here with him. It couldn't get any better than this.

The only thing that could make it better was if I could have his baby. I knew it was pointless to even think about it. I had been told many times, I would never carry a baby to term. I never gave it too much thought when I was planning my life with Justin, it didn't matter as much. But with Ronnie, there was nothing I wanted more. Maybe it was because of the one we lost, maybe it was because I love him so much and creating a life with him would enhance our lives so much more.

"I don't know if you all knew that ten years ago, I was actually married." I heard him saying as the crowd cheered. "Things out of our control happened and we got a divorce or so we thought. Turns out, it wasn't valid and we found ourselves still married. Cassie. Come out here, baby." I shook my head at him, and he nodded as he walked towards me. He grabbed my hand and lead me out to the stage. "After all this time, we found our way back to each other and have decided to give our marriage a second chance. I wanted all of you," he said pointing to the crowd. "To meet my wife, Cassie."
