When Lightning Strikes Sixx: A Tommy Thayer & Nikki Sixx Story)

Chapter 37-Checking on the Babies, 2-month mark (Tommy Thayer-Sixx POV)

A/N: Lots of sweetness & emotion! and they get to hear the heartbeats!

Currently I am in Tyler and Gunner's nursery changing both little boys' diapers, thankfully only Gunner pooped, and Tyler tried to pee on me, but I was ready. It made me shake my head in amusement, oh I do love my sons! It's hard to believe I am now 2 months pregnant with triplets, and my belly has gotten bigger, Nikki can't quit touching it and we when we get private time can't quit touching each other....

"There! Now both of you are clean. Let's get you two dressed, guess what we're doing today? Mommy has a doctor's appointment to check on the three siblings you're going to have, and we can hear their heartbeats now. When I first heard yours, I'll never forget it...I..." I am cut off by my husband: Nikki.

"I wish I had of been there for that, I can't tell you Tommy...how much I fucking regret how I treated you, I regret it still." Nikki has tears in his eyes and his eyes filled too with such guilt.

"Nikki, please.... i, I...don't...don't do that. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I also meant to tell them: even then...I loved you and I didn't know it but so did you. And even then, you were with me, whether I knew it at the time or not." Tears stream down my face blurring my vision and my husband notices and helps me dress our sons and place them in their carriers while they kick their feet in delight.

"Tommy don't cry.... I know that's not what your intention was, you didn't hurt them, it's just.... i can't help...I mean I almost LOST YOU. I could have lost our sons...and the three babies inside you, but you loved me anyway despite it all. You love me still..." He whispers dropping his gaze before looking back up at me taking my hands in his. "But my love, you are everything to me. I mean...I...love you so much it hurts. i don't want to repeat my mistakes this time or EVER again."

"Nikki, you haven't, you WONT. And I know you're meaning, now let's get going so we can check on these amazing babies inside me and Nikki...remember this: I've always loved you, I always will, and I love our children, ALL of them." I take my hands from his and caress his face, drowning in his green eyes and I kiss him, a kiss full of such love, such longing.... kissing Nikki, never fails to take my breath away.

WE finally grab the twins, head down to the car, and take off. I am filled with such anticipation.... this time, there will be 3 heartbeats....3...I was initially terrified, but Nikki he's been by me every step of the way, he's perfect to me: an amazing husband, father, and person...our love has only grown stronger.

Once we arrived at the doctor's office, Tyler and Gunner fell asleep and Nikki insisted on carrying them both, I didn't argue, I thought it was very sweet and I carried the diaper bags, which are not heavy at all surprisingly. We get me checked in and wait....

"Look how adorable they are sleeping! I can't wait for the triplets!" I gush but quietly.

"Me either! I wonder if they'll look like both of us? Like a combo? All that really matters is they are healthy, and that you are Tommy." Nikki reaches out and rubs my baby bump gently. He's right: this never gets old...soon I am called back and helped up on an exam table after having that preliminary crap done, the ultrasound machine gets wheeled in and we get going.

My shirt is lifted exposing my swollen belly, the gel applied making me shiver...that I can never get used to. The Doctor seems to be smiling moving the wand back and forth.

"Looks like Tommy, all three are doing very well. They are developing just as they should, right on target for how far along you are. You haven't had any more morning sickness as the nurse told me."

"No, I haven't. My husband makes this tea that's really helped, it's caffeine free of course, but it's been a god-send for me." I glance at Nikki and smile; he squeezes my hand and smiles back.

"Now let's hear the heartbeats, I know you are eager to hear...all of you."

3 loud whooshing sounds echo in the room, three rapid but strong little heart beats....my babies. My 3 babies, how beautiful this moment is! I can't help but cry, I feel a kiss to my temple from Nikki and it's wet, seems he's crying too. Soon, too soon the ultra-sound is over, the gel cleaned from my belly, pictures printed, and we head back home, our sons still sleeping away. It is the time of day when they nap normally, after all.

"Babe? I'm starving. I'm really craving spaghetti!" I enthuse glancing back at my sleeping little angels before eyeing my husband.

"Spaghetti it is Tom! I am so happy that you're doing so well, that the babies are healthy and that their hearts are strong." Nikki's voice cracks a little, as if he's about to cry.

"Their hearts are like yours, strong as hell." Awe and love lacing my tone. "They will be perfect! Just like you Nikki, you Nikki Sixx are perfect to me, don't ever think otherwise."

"Oh Tommy!" Nikki seems at a loss for words, but I can tell he is absolutely awed at me, and my words have touched him deeply. No more words are needed.

"OH! I just thought, we better call everyone.... you know how they are. And better make it a group call too while we're at it." I laugh. Nikki laughs with me....

"You space-honey are absolutely right, but it can wait till we get home. Right now, it's just us...me, you and our children."

"I agree, Nikki...I agree. I love you." I state lovingly.

"I love you too Tommy, so damn much!" Emotion coating each word. Oh, we will call our kiss-motley family, but as my husband said for now it's just us: Him, myself, our sons and our three unborn children. I couldn't ask for more. 

A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Next chapter will see a time skip to where Tommy is far enough along to find out what him and Nikki are having! oh so excited for that! Meantime, will work later on an update for a live wire for love.
