Chapter 8

 

“Thank you” she whispered lightly into his chest as they danced slowly. Pulling her further into his arms he rested his chin on her head, wincing when his chin caught one of the bobby pins in her hair.

 

“For what baby girl?” he asked.

 

“Everything. I know that there was more than one occasion when you wanted to kill me over the past year. I must have been crazy to live with while planning this wedding.”

 

“Well that’s what honeymoons were invented for. So wives could make it up to their husbands for all the crap they put them trough in the planning.” She swatted his arm whilst giggling.

 

“Hey you better not turn into one of these husbands whose all take, take, take, you know.”

 

“Oh I won’t. I more than promise to give, give, give” he growled and she laughed. “Speaking of give I have something special for you and I think it’s nearly ready,” He said as he kissed her head.

 

“Ohh and what’s that Mr Carter?” She asked as she gazed into his eyes.

 

“You will have to sit there Mrs Carter and find out,” He said as he helped her to sit in the chair and walked to the stage where the other guys from the band had gathered.

 

Darkness falls

I thought I heard you call

Or was it just a dream?

I’m a little scared

Knowing your out there

So far away from here.

 

It’s been so long

Since you’ve been gone

Everyday I miss you more

And I wanna know

Why did you have to go?

What were you looking for?

 

And I hope you find your way

And I can’t wait to say.

 

Nick left the confines of the stage and walked over to his new wife. Pulling her up from the chair he placed an arm around her waist and guided her out onto the dance floor, mike still in hand. Then began slowly dancing as he sang to her.

 

You’re home now

Not alone now

These arms are here to hold you

No need to be afraid

So come in

Cause I’ve been

Waiting for the moment

To open up this door

And I know that it’s not much

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

 

He felt her grip tighten on him and heard her sniffle. He looked down and saw that her eyes were full of tears. Kissing the top of her head he continued on with the song.

 

So you lost your way

But that’s yesterday

And I don’t care where you been

Cause every step

You’ve taken since you left

Has bought you back again

And I hope that you see it clear

That my loves always right here

 

You’re home now

Not alone now

These arms are here to hold you

No need to be afraid

So come in

Cause I’ve been

Waiting for the moment

To open up this door

And I no that it’s not much

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart

Welcome to my heart                     (Welcome to My Heart – Backstreet Boys)

 

“I love you so much Nick thank you.” She sniffled as she kissed him.

 

“I love you baby and I should be thanking you for marrying me.”

 

The End
