Unlikely encounters

I drove home and the ride was silent. Kenzie wasn't as giddy or bubbly as she normally was. She walked into the house and sat down on the couch with an emotionless look on her face. I walked to the kitchen and made her peppermint tea. I sat down next to her. She layed her head down on my lap and I heard her whimper.

"Why austin?" She asked softly

"I dont know baby. I dont know.... But we can always try again, right?" I said, trying to be hopeful

"Austin, this was my first baby. I'm never going to have her again. Its.... Why did it have to be us?" She said, putting her head back I to my lap.

"Mackenzie, I understand, and I promise, were going to make it through this. This is just a rough patch. Tomorrow holds such better days. We can't let this bring us down." I said, stroking her hair.

"I just wish..... I just want her back." She said

"I know honey.... I do too." I said.

We sat in silence for the rest of the evening, and when I heard her snoring softly, I knew I could carry her upstairs. I picked up her light body and carried her up the stairs, trying not to wake her up. I set her down in our bed and slid her jeans off, but as I was doing this, she woke up.

"Your not getting any tonight Austin." She groaned

"Haha, I know. I just wanted to get you in your pyjamas so you would sleep better. I know how much you hate to sleep in jeans." I said.

"Sure, thats what they all say." She said, grinning. She stood up and took her clothes off, and I was enjoying her getting undressed until she bent over and let out a yelp of pain. The doctors told us that she would experience aabdominal pain for about 2 weeks.

"Oh, babe, I can grab that for you." I said, bending over and grabbing her sleep tank top.

"Thanks honey." She said.

We both walked over to our bed and layed down. I put my arm around her and I tryed to make her feel a little bit better.

"Goodnight Austin." She whispered as she kissed my hand.

"Goodnight Mackenzie." I said as I kissed her head.

"Tomorrow we have a fresh start." She said.

"Your right." I said

I listened to the sound of her breathing as she slept and I was amazed. Me and Mackenzie were meant to be. If we weren't, why were we brought back together after all these years?
