My Secret

Space Bound

Marshall glares at me like he's gonna kill me

-"Marshall this is not the moment to talk about this"- I say and look at my mum again

-"cut that shit! I'm tired of.."- he says raising his voice but before he could keep saying I cut him off

-"Marshall this is a fucking hospital! this is not the moment for that!"-I say getting mad while I glare at him

-"guys guys calm down, what's the matter?"- she says softly looking at both of us

-"nothing mum , it seems that Marshall don't understand that we're at the hospital and that.."

before I could finish my phrase he cuts me off

-"the problem is it's never a good moment for her!!"- he says looking at me with hate

-"Marshall enough!!"- I cry out

-"guys come here please"-my mum say to us and makes us a sign with the hands to approach

I roll my eyes but do as told

she grabs our hands

-"guys you spend the day arguing and fighting why? life is too short, what is the point? you're a family, you have a wonderful son together and the most important thing you love each other and .."

she start to cough and put her hands on her mouth

-"mum, don't talk please"- I say worried while I give her her glass of water

-" she doesn't love me Carmen"- I hear Marshall say very softly

my mum and I both look at him

-"don't be silly of course she loves you"- she says while she puts the glass on the table next to her bed and grabs his hand again

he shakes his head in negation

-"no she doesn't, she was in love with me before but no anymore, she's just doing this for Cristian "- he looks at me for a brief moment before he continues

-"did you know that I wanted to propose her but she thought I was being unfaithful to her and we ended fighting and now she doesn't even want to tell me that she's pregnant "

-"you know what? I've never told you this before but when she told us that she had fallen in love with you that she wanted to stay with you in Detroit I told her that it would be the biggest mistake of her life , I was wrong, you're the best thing that ever happened to her, even when she came back I told her ,she has never stopped loving you and she never will, she never wanted kids or get married untill she met you, the day before you met she told me she had found her one, and she can't lie with that , like I can see that you love her for the way you look at her so stop being stubborn you two and talk to each other for the god's shake!"- she says with a little smile

-"dad!"- Cris says as he walks in

****************************************************

we have spent the afternoon in the hospital and it was almost 8 pm now

-"guys go now, seriously"-Mum says

-"are you sure?"-Marshall asks her

she nods with a smile

-"yes I feel so much better, go now!"

-"ok, let's go Cristian"- I say looking at Cristian

-"no, I wanna stay with them plus grandpa said he would buy a pizza just for me"- he giggles

-"what are you plotting?"-I say raising my eyebrow

-"we will be fine you two go"- my dad says

I look at them suspicious

**************

after a long day we are at home

-"Marshall I'm going to prepare the supper"- I say taking off my shoes

Marshall grabs my hand and turn me over to look at him

-"Vic, can we talk now?"-

I look at him

-"yes"

-"is it true?"

I look at him again

-"what?"

-"that you're pregnant"

I sigh

-"I don't know for sure but I think I may be"

-"why you didn't say me anything?"

-"I don't know ok? I just .. I got nervous I didn't know how to tell you, I was scared of your reaction"-I say mumbling the last part

-"my reaction?" he asks surprised

I nod

-"I didn't know if you wanted to have another babe,and Marshall I.. I "- I say and start to cry putting my hands on my face to cover the tears that were falling down my cheeks

-"you what? just tell me!"

-"ok.. I got scared because I remembered when I was pregnant with Cris! Marshall I can't go through that again and I know you're gonna say that it was my fault because I left and didn't tell you, and that I deserved it but Marshall seriously I can't do this alone again "-I say weeping while I run my hand through my hair

I look at him his face was neutral, emotionless

-"it's funny because you have done the same again"- he says coldness

I scowl

-"I was going to tell you!"- I say raising my voice

-"sure, I just want to know something is it true what your mum said ?"

-"what?"

-"everything your mum said before, when she said you won't never stop loving me and that you knew I was the one since the first moment , is everything true? "

I sigh

-"yes"-I say softly while staring at him

he clears his throat while I come closer to him and run my hand through his hair

our foreheads are touching and he looks down at me

-"why should I believe you?"- he says while he keeps looking at me and wraps his hands around my waist, his lips almost touching mine

-"you wanna a proof?"- I say smiling at him

he nods

-"ok wait here"- I say and pull away from him and head to my room I take my suitcase and put it on the bed

I open the suitcase where I kept the ring he gave me but I can't find it

-"where the hell is the ring? I put it on here!"- I say mumbling

-"are you looking for this?"- I hear Marshall say who is leaning against the door

I look at him, he has the box with the ring on his hand

I slowly get up while look at him

-"you know ? when I saw that you took the ring with you I was surprised because you didn't want to get married to me"- he says coming closer to me

-"I never said that I didn't want to marry you "

-"I see"- he says seductively coming closer to me

he opens the box and takes the ring leaving the box on the bed

-"will you love me forever?"

I nod trying to hold the tears back

-"can you promise me that you'll be always by my side untill the day I die? "

I get more and more nervous and all my body starts to shake

-"yes"- I say nodding

-"will you marry me?"- he says softly while he grabs my left hand that is shaking and put the ring in my wedding ring finger

right after that I start to cry and feel tears coming down my cheeks

it was happy tears , I was happy

I nod smiling

-"yes, of course I will"- I say softly while crying

he kisses me hungrily

I smile against his lips, we're together and this time nothing/no one is gonna separate.

The end
