flying without wings

chapter thirty seven

I could feel Mark's hand caressing my bare back. It felt as if I was living in a dream. I had my soul mate with me again and nothing could make me happier. I never knew that this day would happen and sprinkle its magic to my life again.

'Morning sweetie.' I turned to look at him. He was smiling at me. 'Morning.' I leaned over and kissed him. 'Mmm, still craving May?' I smiled back at him. He put his hands on my baby bump and leaned over to kiss it.

'Morning babies. Glad you two didn't kick your mam over the night cos if you did, she'd kick me too!' I broke into laughter. Mark told me that every time the babies kicked at night, I would kick him.

Mark's hands moved from my bump to my forehead, moving little pieces of my hair. 'Do you know that I love you so much? I'm glad I'll never have to wake up feeling for you but you won't be there.' I smiled at him and was thanking God for everything I had in my life.

'Well, I love you more!' 'Really? Nope, I think I love you more.' Mark grinned. I kissed him again, this time longer than I did before. 'I'm so sorry I left you and our babies just like that.' He mumbled in between kisses. I stopped and look at him.

'Mark, don't be sorry. Having you here with me means more than life to me. I'm the one who blew it okay?' 'Ssshhh don't okay? We love each other so much and nothing will part us anymore. Our relationship's way stronger now and I'm glad you came into my life.' I smiled at him and wishing that he knew that he saved my life.

'May?' 'Hmm?' 'How about going public?' I was quite shocked. 'What about the five years no babies and no marriage deal?' 'It was abolished. Ro thought it wasn't too fair for us and we're established enough to have babies and all.' 'Hmmm...' I didn't know if it was a very good idea. 'Well?'

'But I'm nearly nine months pregnant Mark. What if the fans find out about my past? It would ruin your whole career and it's not fair. What if they hate me?' 'You never know until we try. I know you're strong enough and about the fans, stuff them! We love each other and all we want to do is show it to the world. If they don't like it, it's too bad.'

I never heard Mark wanted a thing so bad he didn't even care about the consequences. 'Okay, I'll think about it.' Mark knew he couldn't push me any further so he went quiet. 'Mark?' 'Yeah?' 'Okay.'

'Okay what?' He seemed confused or was in the state of disbelief. 'Okay, let's go public. When's the next event Westlife's gonna be in?' Mark didn't answer but instead he kissed me and tickled me at the same time. He had me in stitches but because my bump was so big, I couldn't move too much.
