"I want you to stay here with mom once I am sent to prison. as he dried my hair. I shook my head, knowing he was going to tickle me. "I want you safe.

"My parents are moving to Kentucky.

"What? When they decide this,

'few weeks ago, 

"Why didn't you tell me?

Next morning

They both awoke and both dreaded the day, they decided to lay there and talk for little while.


"I need to tell you something." she said.

"What is it baby?"

My parents are going moving to kentucky."

"When they decide this?" his eyes darken but it didnt deter her as she knew he wasnt mad at her.

"Few weeks ago."

"Why didnt you tell me?" he asked wondering what she was going to do.

'Because I'm not going. Your mom told me I could live in the other trailer if I wanted it. Because she said you would likely stay with me anyway. Once you get to come home again

"Are you staying?

"Yes, I'm not going anywhere

"good because i would have to hog tie you before i let you go'

"I wouldn't have a problem with that.

"I love you, baby girl. Stay with me even while I'm gone 

"I love you and I'm not going anywhere 

We got everything, and we headed to the river bank. We were spending as much time as we could together. He sat on the dock with me between his legs, and we didn't say much, for we never had to when it was just us.

"Babygirl, can i ask you something?

"Yes

"What will you do if your pregnant?

"Have our baby; raise our baby until you come home to help.

"Do you want to be pregnant by me?

"Why wouldn't i?

"Because i wont be here to help.

"I will have help if I'm pregnant. Your mom will help. But I am strong, as you always remind me. I can work until the baby is born, if needed.

"I have money saved up from the last time I worked.

"Babygirl, You dont know what you mean to me. I want you to be my girlfriend, not just my best friend."

"Yes, I do. I told you before that I have always been in love with you. I have always belonged to you. That is why no other relationship worked out.

"Well, I helped that out with your relationship, especially your last one.

"What do you mean?

"I kind of scared him

"How?" she looked at him wondering what he meant.

" I walked up on a conversation he was having on the phone and i went off on him

"About?

"How he was going to take you willingly or against your will and..."

"you threatened to kill him, didn't you?

"Yes, you know i dont take bullshit from anyone when it come to you"

'I know you don't. Thank you"

"Your welcome, babygirl. He kissed me on the head, and I sat there with him, relaxing. I took pictures of us on his and my phone and i felt good about us even tho he was going away for while'

His phone rang...

"Hello

......

"Sure, mom, we are on our way to meet you there.

He hung up the phone

"Mom wants us to come eat with her before court.

i shook my head not really wanting to be around anyone but him, when my belly growled.

He smiled and said, "Babygirl, I know how you feel. But we will make it through this. You know I love you, and I will always want you.

"Why did you get up last night?"

I couldn't sleep and i didn't want to disturb your sleep babygirl."

You know i cant sleep when you're not near me."

I know, that is what is worrys me the most."

Are you okay?

He let out a breath. "I will be okay, babygirl. The only problem i have is not wanting to leave you

"I'll be here waiting, i promise

I stood up and put my hand out for him to take, and he smiled. "I love you, baby

I love you, Eric

What I said before is still true. I'll kill anyone who even looks at you wrong."

I know you will. I love you, but no one is going to touch me ever but you. Besides, your the only one who could ever do anything for me anyway."

--------------

We left to meet them at Tuscanys, and he was holding my hand as we walked inside. His mom already had a table for us. We sat down and were waiting on our drinks when his mom looked at me and smiled. "I see he finally told you he wanted you to be his girlfriend.

"Yes, last night he did."

"What did you say."

"I told him yes, I would be waiting for him."

"Son, your one lucky guy, not many women would wait.

"I know mom; she always waited on me, and I'm sorry it took this for me to realize I always had what I wanted in front of me the whole time."

After scaring her boyfriends away."

He laughed, and so did I, as I knew he had something to do with it.

Did you tell him?

I did. 

Tell me what

I'm moving in to the trailer on the hill since my parents are moving to Kentucky

Yes she told me, tho i dont know why she didnt tell me when she first heard

because you had just been arrested

what

Mom told me we was moving, and i told her hell no, that i wasn't leaving ever

she said that was up to me that they were and i said bye and i came to your mom

Im ur momma as well.

Yes you have always been my mom.

Mom will you take care of her while I'm in prison ?" 

You know i will. She will always have a place you know you dont have to ask

I asked her to take care of you to mom.

Like he had to ever ask that

We laughed and ate our food, taking much of it with us as we knew it was time to head to court. He had driven my truck as he knew I would have to drive it back. As we got back in the truck, I cried and he kissed me. Babygirl, are you sure you can handle going to court with me? You know you don't have to. I closed my eyes and calmed down. Then I looked at him and said yes. I need to be there with you. He knew I was stubborn just like him, so he shook his head as he kissed me again.

Im going to miss your kisses 

I'm going to miss yours."

Well your just have to think of tht while your in there so your be good and get to come home

You know i will

i lost count of how many time we made love last night and today

well we have time for another round 

we are in town

not for long 

he drove to the riverbank away from prying eyes and ears and made love for the last time that day. he marked my chest and said he kissed it and it was his i never complained threw my hair back in ponytail and off we went to court

i was happy and sad at the same time but i knew we would be okay. I was planning on getting my stuff soon from my moms and dad and moving in the trailer and going back to work so my mind wouldn't be depressed but he had other plans for me

He kissed me before going to the front of the court and he gave me his wallet and rings and everything he had and i put this in my purse except for his ring which he gave me a necklace and i wore it. He said he loved me as they took him to jail and i broke down as he went thru the door knowing it was last time i d see him in while

his mom and i held each other as we walked out of the court house. She asked if i was going home and i told her i was going to get my stuff packed at mom and id be home later. She was going to her daughters for a while. She gave me the keys to top trailer and told me to be careful and not to drive if i started crying again. 

I agreed and went to river to think. I cried my eyes out and i looked at our pictures and was surprised to see the look he gave me in one of the pictures. He gave me look that he was totally in awe and love with me. I saw a message on his phone and i opened it. It was a message sent to me that was scheduled to be sent hours later after the court hearing and i knew i wanted to read it now.


It went like this....


babygirl as your sleeping i am writing this. 

I know you love me as i love you but i dont

know if i can be selfish enough to ask you 

to wait for me. I wanted so many times to 

tell you i loved you but i dont know if you will forgive me

for what i have done. There is a box in the top trailer in closet

it is for you babygirl. Everything in it is for you. please dont

leave me bc of what i have done. I love you and i want to claim

you as mine forever but im not sure you want me like that.

I love you babygirl


i cried once more as i knew he did love me and i was so happy that i let him claim me

last night and today. I smiled thru the tears and i got back in the truck and headed for moms house

They had already left for kentucky i was to turn the keys in once i got my stuff out. I was planning on cleaning 

to get my mind off things knowing i needed Eric back here with me. But i was going to be strong because he was right i 

could be carrying our child now. I hope i was even tho we was just now an item.
