Skully
“ Y ou ready, man?” Ripper steps up to my side, pattin’ me on the back.
I’ve been ready since the day I met her. Waited my whole life for her, actually.
“I’m so fucking ready.”
“Damn, I’m proud of you, you know that?” I turn to face him and see that pride shining in his eyes. “You put up one hell of a fight. Never fucking gave up. And you’re back. And better than ever. Rubble would be proud, man.”
Shit. He’s gonna choke me up before my bride comes down the aisle. I spoke to Rubble this morning. Got down on my knees at his grave and told him that I’m gonna live for the both of us. I’m gonna make every fucking moment count. So when I finally see him again in the next life, he’ll be proud.
“I couldn’t have done it without you guys, Rip. Thanks for putting up with my cranky ass and for all the time you’ve spent with me.”
He and Razor have been taking me to my doctor appointments for the prosthetics and then driving my ass to PT so I can get stronger on my new legs. And my girl’s been taking me to my shrink appointments. Every single one of them has had a part in my healing. I couldn’t have done it without them.
“That girl is going to be shocked. But I hope you know, she loves you no matter what. It’s your heart that she’s after. Even if you were bound to that chair for the rest of your life.”
I know. That girl loves me so hard. It’s pretty damn amazing.
“She’s also after my huge dick,” I tease, giving him a smirk. He busts out laughing, shaking his head. It’s great to be back. And an honor to have him standing here next to me.
The music suddenly starts and we both quiet, turning our attention down the aisle. My breath is caught in my lungs, my heart starting to race. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. The moment I’ve been fighting for.
She steps out and the world fades. All I can see is my angel, looking so beautiful dressed in white. The most breathtaking sight. And her eyes. The happiness is radiating so bright.
I watch her take her steps closer, waiting until she gets to the front, and then I stand. I rise out of my chair and step forward. Seeing the shock and hearing her gasp. She had no idea I’d gotten my legs. I wanted to keep it a secret. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Every day I fought, so I’d be able to stand next to my bride, walk her down the aisle, dance with her until the wee hours of the morning, and then carry her back to our room. I want to fuck her up against the wall until the rooster crows.
“Skully…” Her watery whisper gets me choked up. “You’re standing.”
“I know, babe. And I’m gonna stand by your side for the rest of our lives.”
A tear slips down her cheek, and it’s a vision that will forever be burned to memory. Eyes of pride. Eyes of pure love. Eyes looking up at me like I’m her entire world.
