One Night Only

Chapter Eleven- Today is the day.

~Kirsten's point of view~

I wake up before Zane and Deacon. Today is the day I've waited years for. I'm happy and nervous all at the same time. I trust Deacon. I know that he wouldn't do anything to hurt any patient, let alone Zane. It's mom nerves. Even if my dad were doing it, I'd be nervous. I can't help it. He's my son.

Deacon: "I can feel you stressing."

He says it in my ear. It sends chills through my entire body.

Kirsten: "I'm sorry."

Deacon: "I get that it's stressful."

He moves a little. I can feel morning wood; I don't say anything.

Deacon: "Turn towards me."

I move to turn towards him. I immediately feel my face heat up. He has extremely beautiful eyes. He takes his hand and runs it across my cheek.

Deacon: "You're beautiful, Kirsten."

I blush even harder.

Deacon: "How's your head?"

Kirsten: "It hurts. I can deal with it. How are you feeling?"

Deacon: "Extremely sore. I'll take some ibuprofen after his surgery."

I want to ask him about last night. I want to know what he meant by he would be there anyway. I don't want to overthink it.

Deacon: "Stop, Kirsten. I have him. I am the best. I'm the one you want him to have."

Kirsten: "I wasn't thinking about that this time."

Deacon: "Oh really?"

Kirsten: "Mmhmm."

Deacon: "What were you thinking?"

He puts his hand on my hip. I want to kiss him, but I don't. I can't do anything. At this moment, with him staring at me, I've lost the ability to speak. I hear someone clear their throat.

Meredith: "Do you want us to leave and come back?"

Kirsten: "No."

He gives a low, aggravated growl. I lean and kiss his cheek, then sit up.

Meredith and Daniel are standing there. Daniel has a shit-eating grin on his face. He got laid; Meredith's smile matched his.

Kirsten: "Good morning."

Meredith: "Morning. How are you feeling?"

Kirsten: "My head is killing me."

Meredith: "I'm sure. How are you, Deacon?"

Deacon: "I'll be ok. Why aren't you at work, Daniel?"

Daniel: "I wasn't going to not be here today. I took a vacation day. It's not like I don't have enough."

Deacon: "Do you think I'd screw up my own kid?"

Daniel: "No, jackass. We're family, and this is what families do."

I feel his hand resting against my lower back.

Kirsten: "Are you two officially together?"
