It's All How You See It: Chapter 4

I stepped away, blushing. I was never the romantic sort of girl, which is pretty sad actually. "Let's um, go out.", I mumbled. "Ok!", Steven said with a smile. (^.^ <-----His face lol)

I accidentally left him...woops. "Um, honey?", I heard Steven say. "Sorry hon!", I yelled from inside the taxi.

I told the taxi to stop at the place where it all began. Except back then I only had eyes for that dirty dog Aaron Cooper. Steven creeped me out at the time with all his staring.

"I'm finally here.", Steven huffed. Shoot, did he run here? (O.O <----Dusk's face)

I looked down, "I'm sorry, Stevie...."  He gave me a gentle smile, "I'll always come after you even if you leave me in the dust."

What else could I do but kiss him?

I got out my guitar out and started playing Bless You by John Lennon, 

"Bless you wherever you are

Windswept child on a shooting star

Restless spirits depart

Still we're deep in each other's heart"

"Some people say it's over

Now that we've spread our wings

But we know better darling

The hollow ring is only last year's echo", I sang.

Steven took out a bass and started accompanying me.

"Bless you whoever you are

Holding her now, be warm and kindhearted

And remember though love is strange

Now and forever our love will remain," I finished. 

"Bravo, keep going!", Steven said while he strummed on the deep-voiced bass. 

"Bakin' rocks in the hot sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won", I started to sing while playing the guitar faster.

"I needed the money 'cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad

I guess the race is run

Well she is the best girl I've ever had"

"I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Robbin' people with a six gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won"

(Dusk looks so evil there, I love it!)

"I miss my baby and I miss my fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad

I guess the race is run

Well she is the best girl I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won."

I sat down, out of breath from all the singing. "Aw, you were doing great!", Steven told me. "Great or no, I'm pooped out...", I grumbled.

After resting for a bit, Steven and I walked to the park. "I guess our children will play here.", Steven said surveying the playground. "Yup.", I replied simply.

There was a dumpling of a kid by the swing. He was a little butterball, that one. Steven introduced himself, "I'm Steven Cooper, pleased to meet you." The kid grunted, "Harry Plopper." 

Steven nudged me and I attempted to be friendly, "I'm Dusk Cooper, you little piggy-boy." Steven cringed. 

"Did you just call me 'Piggy-boy'?", Harry asked me, with a disbelieving expression on his plump face. "You darn right I did, fatty-kid.", I smirked, my mean streak coming back from it's long leave of absence.

"You are so immature, as if those names really mean anything to a man like me.", Harry told me in a lofty tone. I bristled and moved towards him, my fists clenched, "You wanna get your face bashed in, midget?" He snickered, "As if you would hit a child, hah." I gave him a demonic smile, "Don't doubt it, you're very close to an injury."

Steven gently pushed me out of the way and gave the kid a winning smile, "I'm sorry, Harry, my wife is pregnant...." Harry looked from me to Steven, "I can't believe you married that witch." I glared fiercely at him and held up my fists, "You're just asking for a wupping, boy."

Harry paled,"You wouldn't actually hurt me...right?" I gave him a scathing glare, "How much do you wanna bet, punk." Steven shook his head and looked defeated. Harry fled after a few minutes of me staring at him.

I gave an evil smile, "Noob."

Later at home, I had finally calmed down. My stormy blue eyes had turned into a sea of calm.

"Honey...can't you control your anger and not burst out at children?" Steven asked me. 

At the moment I had been planning to raise my children as my little minions, "They'll be my little criminals, muahaha..." Steven stared  at me, "Um, Dusk..."

"What? Sorry...", I mumbled. Steven laughed quietly. 

Steven turned on the TV and Aaron's face popped up on the screen. We were silent and stared at the screen. 

"Are you ok?" Steven said after a while.

I sat on the couch, "Perfectly fine." I can say truthfully that I am OVER Aaron Cooper.

Later that night, I woke up with a twinge of pain. "Steven!", I whispered. He started to get out of bed, "Whaaat...?"

\

The twinge turned into a roaring, whole mess of hurt. It was awful, why did I ever want kids. "You're doing great." Steven assured me like the great pillar of calm he always is. 

There was a burst of sparkles and my son was born.

"George Washington Cooper", I said smiling, "G.W...."

"Hey, he's cute!", I squealed. Steven was looking at G.W. with a proud expression on his face. I could tell he felt that G.W. was like his own son.

G.W.'s babyhood went by in an instant. He was such a sweet, adorable boy. I was pretty awkward around him so I hauled him off to Steven usually.

Steven was such a good dad, he makes a way better parent than me. Will my kids hate me for focusing on my career because I don't feel comfortable around them? I hope not, I hope they know how much I really love them....I'll just have to wait and see.

Buh-bye!! Comments are lovely, they make me happy =D A happy Fedora is a productive Fedora! (Well not really since I cant get on anyway lol) Ok, byeeeee

Ulysses S. Grant aka HUG

You know the 18th president of the United States? Ulysses S. Grant, yup. Well his name was actually Hiram Ulysses Grant. No S there, hah. The S was a mistake that happened when he went to Westpoint. Oh but before that, Ulysses changed his name to Ulysses Hiram because he didn't want HUG to be embroidered on his uniform and such lol. .....ok so I'm writing an essay about him. Don't you just <3 History ^.^ I think I've finally cracked, why am I yakking about this O.O Right, so I'm done

It's All How You See It: Chapter 3

I brightened, what woman doesn't want men fighting over her? It was simple and perfect, whoever had the gumption to ask me first, I would marry.

(NOTE: *Cough cough* Me)

Satisfied, I walked into the living room. Steven was sitting on the couch, watching TV.

When he saw me, polite man that he is, he shut it off. 

"Hey.", I said suddenly feeling awkward. "Hey.", He replied. We sat still for a while, thinking our own thoughts. Me, about...I'm almost embarrassed to say this but...I was thinking of Steven. "Your cheeks are pink, are you thinking of me?", Steven teased me, hitting it right on the spot. "N-no why would I be thinking about you?", I stammered. 

"She's thinking of me, of course.", Aaron broke in. Our head's snapped up and I could have sworn Steven and Aaron were locked into an intense stare contest. I could practically feel the electricity between them.

Aaron likely won, because he sat down next to me. He winked at me, "You look cold...would a cuddle warm you up?" I turned to stare at him, "Sure." 

Steven stared impassively ahead and I felt embarrassed.  Aaron must have guessed that or something, because he whispered in my ear, "Don't worry about him."  

I shrugged and snuggled into Aaron's warm chest. I couldn't help but smile. Aaron looked at me appraisingly, "You are beautiful, you know that?" As a kid living with my strict Great-Aunt I never got compliments...let's just say that was the final blow against my outer defenses.  

Aaron must have noticed a change in me, because he suddenly leaned in and kissed me. My first emotion was, surprise surprise, anger. Then came embarrassment. Then the happiness seeped in.

I broke away from his embrace and stood up. "Aaron...", I mumbled, "We..it would never work."

Aaron stood up and grabbed me into a kiss. 

Aaron looked into my eyes, "We could make it work." I shook my head, still in doubt.

Then, Aaron did a shocking thing. He bent down on one knee, while I tried to get my thoughts together. "...Will...you m-m-marry...me...", Aaron said as if it pained him. Say No, Say No, Say No, Half of me screamed. The weak half was walking on air, Say Yes, this is your dream!

My weak half won and a squeal broke out of me. "YES!!", I shrieked. I heard a small sigh escape from Steven's lips, but I ignored him. 

"You have made me the...happiest man in the world.", Aaron said, his eye twitching. "Are you ok, hon?", I whispered when I hugged him. "....Allergies.", He mumbled.

I smiled at him, "I love you, Aaron." He looked taken aback but soon recovered his composure, "I..love...you too." I gave him a sad smile, "A small part of me doubts that very much."

Before he could respond to that, I asked him if we could have a private wedding.

My fiancé looked at me like I was bonkers, but he complied to my request. I held up the ring, "Are you ready to be a married man?"  

Aaron gave a lopsided grin, "Yeah..I guess so." In a moment of pure anger, I jammed the ring on his finger roughly while keeping a sweet smile on my face. He looked up at me shocked, "Ow!" I apologized saying that, "Sometimes I was too rough." He accepted the apology and we erm..took it to the bedroom.

Aaron and I had some intimate time...that's all I'm saying.

After we had not even registered his presence, Steven had left the house to go on an errand.

When he came back, I gasped in surprise. Aaron running over just looked at his hand, "Beautiful, I know." "NO, NOT YOUR KRIFFING HAND!", I squealed, "LOOK AT STEVEN!!"

Aaron rolled his eyes and did whatever Aaron does during the day. Hey, we're newlyweds, how am I supposed to know what he does 24/7? My hands moved by themselves and stroked Steven's new hairdo. "Umm...Dusk?", Steven said in an not unpleased voice, "What are you doing?"

I got control of my hand back and pulled it away, "I-I'm sorry..I don't know what came over me." "It's ok.", Steven said quietly. After that incident, Steven and I kept avoided each other a bit. For some reason it made my heart ache. I had to give myself an inward slap a couple of times to stop from thinking about him.

One day, after I got out of work, I discovered that Aaron and I were going to welcome a little one into the world. I was overjoyed, secretly I adored children.

I called a cab right away and told the driver to put the pedal to the medal or I would beat the crap out of him. He did what I asked, I wasn't the town bully for nothing. 

Walking into the house, I spotted Aaron. He was watching TV...as usual. Doesn't he ever get roles offered to him or what?

  

"Aaron.", I called softly, "Can I see you for a second." He got up, "Sure Di-Dusk..." Is it just me or does Dusk start with a Du and not a Di... I shook off my doubts of his faithfulness and thought about what I came to tell him about. 

"You uh..notice anything different about me?", I hinted around. Aaron blinked, "Your hair?" I forced a smile on my face while inwardly anger was bubbling up. I gritted my teeth, "No, it's the same as it's always been." Aaron smiled at me, "Ok, well what's different."

Blunt person that I am, I cut to the juicy stuff, "I'm pregnant." My husband laughed, "No, seriously." I gave him a withering glare.

He looked shocked, and not pleasantly shocked, "You have GOT to be kidding me." I glared at him and spoke in a low, deadly voice, "I'm not."

Aaron lunged at me, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!" I shrank back, fearing for the baby. "THIS WILL SET BACK YOUR CAREER FOR YEARS!", Aaron continued.

I tried to plead with him, "Aaron, it will only be for a little bit, please!" Aaron clinched his fists and his face became a mask of fury, "We are finished."

I opened my mouth to say something but he interrupted me by pointing at my stomach and shouting, "That, that THING is going to ruin our lives."

For a minute, I was cowed. I could sense Aaron smirking at me, what had I ever seen in him?

All of a sudden, all my rage spilled over, "Leave, I don't EVER want you to come here again, EVER!" Aaron scowled at me, "You know, this is MY house." I gave a bitter laugh, "You would leave a pregnant woman on the streets? You monster." 

Aaron turned away and started dialing on the phone. "I am not a monster.", Aaron said gritting his teeth. I looked away, "You are to me."

Aaron turned and faced me, but my back was turned to him. "I'll be back on the kid's 14th birthday, you'll be sorry you ever crossed me." I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."

And then, my first love walked out the door and out of my life. I blinked back hot, angry tears, "Don't ever come back."

I ran to the room Aaron used to be in and burrowed under the covers of his old bed. I cried for hours alone. 

When my eyes were dry and my heart was hard as a rock again, I climbed out of bed. I now had a sadder, wiser look in my eyes. The whole experience had aged me in soul and spirit.

I ran out the door, eager to get out of the house full of bad memories. 

"I always seem to catch you outside.", Steven said from behind me. I looked away, had he witnessed the whole thing?

Steven's strong arms lifted my slumped shoulders up, "It's going to be ok, I promise." I sniffled like a little child that had lost her favorite toy, "Will you leave me too?" Steven looked deep into my eyes, "Never."

My heart felt instantly light and lightning fast, I leaned in and kissed him. He didn't try and pull away. It was then that it hit me.

"Steven..I realized something, something I should have realized before.", I said on one knee. Steven looked at me puzzled, "What is that?" I swallowed, "I-I realized that...that I love you."

"Steven Cooper, will you marry me?", I said full-well knowing the odds of him saying no. He covered his face with his hands, I cringed.

Steven grabbed me into a gentle, yet firm hug. "Yes.", He said simply. With that one word, all my prayers had been answered. I felt that at last, I was marrying the right man for me.

Steven looked at me with a bright face full of love and joy, "Let's get married now. I don't care if it is not mine, I want the baby to have a father." I choked up, he was just so amazing. What would have happened if it would have been the other way around? Steven gone and Aaron here?

We exchanged rings giddy with excitement. "I bet you're a professional at this.", Steven said jokingly. I scolded him lightly, "Oh stop it.."

We kissed. Aaron's kisses always had a fake feel to them, Steven's felt real.

"You know," Steven said slowly, "For once I'm glad Aaron is who he is...without him, I would have never met you."
