"If you want to come with me, I am getting weekly scans, they were concerned about the baby because of my drug usage and the fact I am getting clean and sober, but the baby looks healthy, I have a picture!" Stevie smiled softly and reached into her dressing gown pocket, soon pulling out a small picture and passing it to Mick.
He took it and smiled as he instantly saw the shape of a baby "Its so cute already!" He grinned.
"I know, so is the little heartbeat, I had to keep it Mick, you understand now, I love them so much already!" She stated, resting her hand on her thin stomach and feeling tears in her eyes.
"You will be amazing mother Stevie, the baby will be lucky to have you and I want to help as much as I can too!" Mick smiled and rested his hand on hers "I know we didn't plan this, I know I fucked up with Chris, but I hope we can try to patch things up and maybe have a proper chance!"
"I'd like that too!" Stevie admitted, nodding softly and Mick felt excited for the future, he really thought maybe him and Stevie did have a real chance.
"Me too Stevie!" He grinned.
"Well my scan is in five days so maybe you can be there if it doesn't interfere with the band stuff!" Stevie said shyly, trying not to get overly invested in something that may not eventuate into anything real.
"I would love to be there, our baby and you mean more to me than Fleetwood Mac!" Mick stated and Stevie couldn't help grin at him saying that, she had only ever craved to be loved and appreciated, the way Lindsey did with her at first before their romance had fizzled into anger and resentment.
"Thank you!" Stevie blushed.
"Don't thank me, its the least I can do, I'm responsible for this too and I am going to take it seriously!" He smiled and cupped her face, she just smiled as he gazed at her, but she felt shy and a little awkward.
"I look really terrible, my skin has gone all pasty and my hair is terrible, I also haven't bothered with make up because my hands are too shaky, sorry I look so ugly!" She sighed and pulled back.
"Hey, Stephanie, you always look beautiful, like a little fairy or an angel, my own black magic woman!" Mick smiled and was happy to make her laugh a bit, he loved seeing her smile or hearing her cute giggle.
"Stop it, you are making me blush, I feel stupid now!" She laughed.
"You are not stupid and your rosy cheeks are cute!" Mick smiled, tilting her head up gently "I missed you!" He stated and softly kissed her lips, but pulled back quickly, not wanting to upset her or push things, he wanted to give her the time she needed.
"I missed you too!" she smiled. She had done a lot of thinking, being in rehab had given her too much time to sit and mull over her thoughts, but she wasn't really that upset over him and Christine anymore. She knew firsthand how drugs and alcohol could really influence people to do crazy things and she knew how much Mick and Christine had both seemed to regret that night, also she knew her and Mick had not been stated to eachother that they were in a relationship, it was more like a flurry of one nights stands or an illicit lusty affair or fling, even though her feelings ran so much deeper than that and she now wondered if Mick's did too, he was saying more 'I love yous' then Lindsey or Don had and he was rushing to her to be there emotionally and being fully supportive of the pregnancy "Thank you Mick!" She smiled more and took a step closer, resting her hands up on his shoulders.
"Don't thank me for being here for you Steph!" He laughed and placed his hands on her arms.
'No, it means a lot, most men would run for the mountains, but you ran to me instead, that means a lot, thank you!" She smiled and stood up on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek, which made him grin and laugh.
"Its my pleasure Stevie!" He smiled and pulled her into a loving hum, rubbing her back "I will be here as much as you need to be, even if you tell me to fuck off, I will still come back, I am happy about the baby, its like a proper chance for me to do things right!" He smiled and placed a kiss in her messy golden curls.
"I think its like a second chance too!" She admitted and clung to him, it was like she had another chance to be a mother and she wouldn't chose an abortion this time, she was thinking clearer and Mick's support was exactly what she needed.
"Our second chance!" Mick smiled, enjoying holding her again "I cant wait until you are free from here, I missed you so much!" He stated.
"I will be out sooner than you think and I will be a better woman, I wont be relying on drugs and alcohol, I will be thinking of our beautiful little baby!" She smiled, pulling back and grinning at him and he was so happy to see the sparkle back in her eyes, she looked tired and pale, he could feel she was shaky, but she looked happy, her smile was genuine and not just a high one and her golden brown eyes were glimmering.
"Its the best thing that could have happened Steph, we have made something more amazing together than just a record!" He smiled and kissed her softly again "I really do love you!"
She blushed and nodded "I kind of really love you too, just please don't break my heart if I give it to you, its already been dragged around and broken too many times and you deeply hurt me with Christine, I know all our wires were crossed, but I cant handle anymore heartbreak!"
"I will never break your heart Stevie, I promise, if you want me, please don't break mine!" He chuckled and lifted her petite hand to his lips and kissed it and they both started giggling like lovestruck teenagers.
"Visiting hours are over now, sorry!" An older woman said softly coming into the room.
"We have forever anyway, can I see you tomorrow?" Mick smiled and Stevie nodded.
"If you want too, its time for me to rest now anyway, thank you!" She grinned and they kissed softly.
