A Blast from the Past Ch. 2
#2 of Blast From the Past
Still running through the wings of the encampment, Max held his brother in arms to him feeling blood run down the reptiles body, it scared him, skidding to a halt growled and jumped to the side before being seen, it seems... they made the best move as their enemies. To attack the hospital wing first... and just that they did. Setting Kaga on the ground seeing his almost lifeless form lay their he held him on his side and placed a hand to his adam's apple, "Good..." feeling the normal BUMP BUMP. Sighing he looked at him feeling helpless. He didn't exactly major in any sort of first aid. And their were too many men in the way to fight past. He would just have to fight it till he could get him to safer grounds. "Hold on buddy.... You won't die on me... I'll make sure you live... you have something worth fightin' for don't cha..." pattin' his cheek lightly and looking around seeing he was safe for now.
When Kaga lost consciousness he saw many things...friends...family... His life really did pass before his eyes... There it was, or at least the important parts.... going back to the day he proposed to his girlfriend. That husky...
"Oh babe it's beautiful!" The purple furred husky screamed in delight grinning with joy as she dropped to her knees with Kaga throwing her arms around him kissing him continuously on the cheek and neck before nuzzling his neck, "I love you so much!"
Both Kaga and the husky held each other close in their bedroom, lit by candles. They had just bought a house to live in with each other...this was the day they'd moved in.
Kaga blushed and laughed a little at this, "Does... that mean yes?"
"Oh?" The husky pulled back quickly and nodded her head rapidly before pulling Kaga's face in close and kissing him tightly on the lips murring in such delight as she did this saying, "This Wild Rose is swaying in such a beauty of a wind because of you sweet heart..."
Letting out a hearty chuckle, Kaga wrapped his tail around the husky's leg, his heart belonged to her... it had for a long time and now he was going to marry her. Maybe even have children together? The thought brought a blush to his cheeks as he kissed back at the husky's lips churring lightly with delight of his own wrapping his arms around her in a happy gesture. "Rosetta?" Kaga whispered as he finally parted his lips panting from lack of air. "Rosetta Sage, your are a goddess of my heart what more can I say?"
"Well?" Rose, the husky resting gently now against our rhizard friend's chest whispering, "You could say how pretty I am... or... how beautiful my eyes are... like you said that day when you met me at the bar... that was so sweet of you... oh! Or you could say something really really romantic..." Rolling over in his arms and resting her back to his chest she whispered, "Like... surprise me with a date or something...." Looking up at Kaga with her soft silver eyes she winked to him and murred, softly holding his arms around her chest and grinning warmly.
Blinking, Kaga tilted his head and murmured in a light voice, "Well... I can't surprise you now.... you suggested it. You would already know before I asked you out..." Snorting he whispered, "You kinda ruined the surprise..." and stuck his tongue to lick inside her ear.
Rose murfed and pulled her head away blushing to turn and look at the tongue hanging out of Kaga's mouth, smiling a little she would say, "You know... that only means you have to put more effort into it..." She nipped at his tongue and caught it between her teeth, murring in delight. She held onto it before leaning closer and kissing him pressing her lips to his as he struggled only to feel him relax slowly as they frenched each other their tongues dancing in Rose's mouth.
Kaga chuckled softly and slowly gave in to Rose's insistent kiss. Five years...they've been together for five years now, and after all this time his love for her never died. This tempestuous, headstrong, wonderful husky in his arms has been the joy of his life. Before she stumbled into his life he never knew love. And now...after so long he can finally give himself to her completely.
Snapped out of his thoughts by her nibbling teeth and playful lips, the reptile squeezed her gently. "Mmm... you sure are playful today love."
Rose giggled brightly. "Can you blame me? We're getting married! We should do something to celebrate!"
"I'll take you anywhere darling...just name the place."
"Kaga!" Rose turned and smacked him on the shoulder. "Don't be a bad boy...I didn't know you were that kinky." She grinned as his scaly skin turned a darker shade of green, then tapped him lightly on the snout. "Oh, I was just kidding hun...you know you can always have me anywhere." Stretching her furry body up against his, she nuzzled gently against his lips and gave his snout a teasing lick.
"Um...baby, that's not quite what I meant..."
"What? You don't want me anymore?" Rose pulled away suddenly and crossed her arms. Pouting, she flicked her tail angrily against him but inside...she was laughing her ears off.
"Aww, Rosie..." Kaga pulled his lover back into his arms, nuzzling the back of her neck in that way he knew she liked. Closing his eyes as he smiled, and murmured "I really do love you...you know? You're strong...smart...beautiful...have a wicked sense of humor." He poked her in the tail at that. "You're my angel and my devil all at once. And I'll love you until the end of time..." He let out a hiss as he wrapped his thick tail around her waist.
Rose blinked and blushed softly, twisting around to see his face. "Yeah...that's putting more effort into it..." Smiling a little she rested her hand lightly on the back of his neck moaning lightly into his ear hole as she whispered to him, "It's nice to know you care enough not to be afraid of me...." She giggled and continued, "I mean... I'm not exactly the sweetest of people all the time... I know I've yelled before...can't really recall a time I yelled at you when I was angry though...." she blushed at Kaga's face. "Well... maybe a few days on my period..."
"Yeah but..." Kaga chuckled and kissed Rose on the neck lightly before saying back, "I didn't take too much heart to it... your a sweet person deep down after all..."
They held each other like this for about a half hour, holding each other close in arms, nuzzling and playing kissy kissy. It was only playful things that they did...to think they were true high school soul mates. Meant for each other. To think Kaga's life would soon come to a shock, for a huge change would be made so soon in his life.
After snuggling for a while Kaga leaned down to Rose and whispered in her furry ear, "Babe... I think we should.... well... we already broke that rule we set years back... but... I think we should have... a little fun tonight...." kissing Rose lightly on the cheek whispering, "To be serious...."
"Aw babe... you didn't plan this just to get in bed with me on official levels did you?" Rose murred nuzzling into Kaga's cheek....
"Babe?" Rose, a blushy little husky would say as she walked up behind Kaga wrapping her arms around him. Three months had passed since the purposal. Kissing him lightly on the neck she heard him say back to her in a whisper, "Yes my love..."
Kaga turned his head back, he had been washing dishes, and thought to himself. Their wedding was only a few months away, they had time to enjoy their lives and prepare before their wedding and so they did that.... but these next few words shocked Kaga.... "Babe.... We have a surprise...." Kaga turned, oblivious at first, but looking to the dishes he continued to wash them, smiling at the soft furry arms wrapped around his waist and the warm body holding him close.
"Really? What's this surprise Rose?" Setting a dish in the strainer and picking up another scrubbing it with his sponge.
Rose would look up to Kaga leaning over his shoulder whispering, "Well... babe... I'm pregnant..."
"Aw babe... that's great...." Kaga set down another plate into the strainer after rinsing it....it clearly didn't hit him yet. Soon enough his mind clicked and his smile turned to a frown. A blush painted his dark green cheeks before he reached for the next dish, turning slowly to look over at the female holding him close. "Pregnant?" he mumbled, looking dazed.
"Uh huh... I just took a test this morning.... it came out positive... I'm pregnant hun...." Blushing bright Rose would turn and murmur, "Unless you want me to take another test to make sure it wasn't a misreading...."
Kaga shook his head, distracted. His mind went back two months ago when he and Rose played around... He was sure he'd used a condom, but the packages always say...'only 97% effective.' It would have been wrong if he didn't do anything with Rose. Rose put so much effort into trying to thank Kaga for his proposal. That... the closeness just felt necessary. "Rose..." he looked up, the shocked look finally on his face as he turned to Rose with a soft smile spread on his lips. Leaning forward his arms wrapped around her and pulled her close in a hug. "I love you so much... I can't believe this... I.... I really can't believe this is happening... your not kidding... where's the test? It's really positive? Oh my god..." Leaning down he nuzzled Rose's cheek and almost felt like crying for joy, only thing he didn't ask was, 'Are you ready for this?'
But Rose seemed to answer for him, just holding Kaga close to her, looking for protection in feeling his soapy hands on her back. "I don't know if I am ready for this Hun...." Her eyes were wet with tears as she pressed her cheek firmly into Kaga's chest almost wanting to cry in fear, she only just turned nineteen.... she was far to young to just say 'Let's have kids...' She was beyond scared. She was so unsure.
The two held each other but Kaga's happiness began to fade as he nuzzled into Rose's neck whispering, "We haven't done anything for two months.... if your not ready.... we ca-"
Rose piped up nearly pushing Kaga away, "NO! I WILL NEVER KILL MY BABY!" Crying now as she looked at him with wide eyes blushing a short distance away in his arms, thighs pressed to his, her hands planted to his chest as she would lower her head and say in a low soft tone, "I just.... I don't know if I am ready for a baby.... I'm scared...."
Kaga sighed softly...he shouldn't have said anything about that. He let her cry to herself for a few seconds before leaning forward and encircling her with his arms. Almost immediately she started to wiggle free but he held onto her. "Hun...it's alright. Just relax. I'm here for you babe. Whatever you decide we'll do it, and I'll always love you."
"Oh...Kaga..." Sobbing louder the husky collapsed into her lover's arms and shivered. "What...are we going to do? How can we live like this? It's...too soon!" Rose curled her tail between her legs, setting the tip to her belly...
"Whatever happens we're going to get through. Hun..." Kaga sighed and slowly drifted to the kitchen table where he sat down and pulled Rose into his arms. On one level he knew how she felt. He wasn't ready for this either. At twenty-one he was still in his third year of university...it was all they could do to pay the rent on this nice new home of theirs.
"I want to keep it..." Rose pressed her hand to her belly...flat and trim for now but soon she would swell up like a balloon. Would Kaga stay with her looking like that?
"I know..." He would. The reptile barely had any idea what he was getting into and he still held Rose to him. It surprised her...she found herself staring up at him inadvertently, with tears still streaking her purple furred cheeks.
Kaga sighed...then pressed his scaly snout to hers. "I don't think I'd make a good dad...hell, if I got you pregnant like this...how good a husband can I make? But you know that I've always loved you, since the moment I saw you. If you want this baby then I'll help take care of it...and of you."
She could only stare...until she felt his hand on her belly, rubbing her gently. "Hun...I'm...sorry..."
And then Kaga snorted, completely wrecking the solemn mood. "Sorry? I had a hand in this too, if you'll recall..."
Looking into the eyes of her love she listened to what he said before lowering her head and placing her forehead softly into his chest, wetness still on her cheeks and snout as she nuzzled into Kaga's chest, his shirt damp from her crying. With a soft whisper she spoke to him, caressing the hand on her stomach. "I'm so glad you are here with me.... if it were anyone else I don't think I would be able to say I could pull through this...."
Kaga rested his head happily on Rose's head holding her to him... so proud inside about this... with a churr he would say, "I'm glad too." inside his heart was beating warm blood through his body as he spoke that. Happy to know that Rose was happy. Everything was going to turn out alright.....
A few hours later that night, During dinner, Kaga set down Rose's plate on the table, the TV set on the counter in the kitchen playing the news. Spaghetti and meatballs, "Hope you like it babe, I made it myself."
Rose smiled to Kaga, having just taken her seat, the soft plush seat under her rump holding her up as she picked up her fork playing with the meat ball turning to Kaga saying in a soft tender tone, "I just want to mention a few things tonight Kaga... if it's alright..." swirling her fork in the noodles and sauce than picking it up to her mouth and chewing quietly.
Kaga grabbed his plate while he was getting it off the stove he would say to Rose facing his back to her, "Sure... anything specific? Is it a bad thing? Good thing? Funny story?" soon setting his plate down on the table with a fork in his hand and sitting down curling his tail around the leg of the chair smiling as he felt the emotions of earlier still inside him. But glad nonetheless that Rose had calmed down and is having a good day today. Maybe they can have a romantic dinner together still.
After swallowing her bite, Rose swirled more spaghetti onto her fork saying as she looked down at her plate, "I just want to know if you are ready for a child? I mean... Will we be able to pay for a baby's birth?... or what about after words?... can we handle that?" Lifting the bite up but not popping it in her mouth she held it out and said, "Do you think I should get a job?"
"A job?" Kaga thought a moment and lifted a little spaghetti into his maw sucking it up with a slurp. Chewing for a moment he swallowed and looked to Rose wondering as he watched her chew, "Well... I think it would help us financially why do you want to get a job though?"
Rose shook her head and mumbled, "I don't..." swallowing she spoke more clearly, "I just think it will be a help for us..."
"Actually on second thought... you're pregnant... I should get a real job...." Kaga leaned forward and swirling a little spaghetti saying, "I think you should stay home and relax..."
"Babe... I'm my own person, I know how to work... I can do things when I'm pregnant... besides we are living off of your money... if we get a second job we can save all of that money for the baby...." Rose set down her fork and looked to Kaga frowning as she would whisper in a light soft voice leaning over and pushing the volume button on the TV turning it down till it was silent, "Besides... I already have an idea for a job... the restaurant down the street over by Shop-Rite is hiring...." looking over to Kaga and picking up her fork again frowning as she said, "You okay with that?"
"You sure?" Kaga mumbled through a mouthful.
"Yeah I'm sure... you work enough at that University... you do practically everything there..." Rose replied sticking a small bite of spaghetti in her mouth, almost done with her plate.
Kaga thought a moment and sighed, "Yeah but it's only volunteer work... I don't get paid as much as I would... if I had a degree I would be able to get a job there... I could stop the volunteer work and just get a straight job at like... a business or something?"
Rose shook her head and murmured, "No your making enough to get us by... if I got a job we could get by with access... and that's all we need... is money for the baby...." chewing the bite she would lower her head and set down the fork slowly lifting up her hands pulling her hands back slowly pulling it into a pony tail as she stood up and walked over to the counter pulling out a hair tie and tying her hair into a pony tail draping down a short distance past her shoulders, "Please.. I'm not crippled I can work...."
Kaga popped a meatball into his mouth and thought about it. At last he nodded, with some obvious reluctance. "If you're really sure you can work hard hours in this condition...we could use the money. I don't want you pushing yourself though. When you apply, make sure you can get time off when you need to. And when you feel you're coming along too far to work don't be afraid to say so. And..."
Rose couldn't stop a chuckle. "Oh...quit fussing. You treat me like a baby sometimes." Setting her hand on her belly she blushed softly. "How...do you always make me feel better?"
"I'm just lucky I guess..."
"Right...lucky." She chuckled again and changed it to a sigh mid way. "Oh Kaga...I just don't know what we're going to do. This is...such a big deal! I can't believe this is happening...I want this baby but I didn't mean to change everything in our lives. I don't know the first thing about being a mother! Where would we take it to school? How much do inoculations cost? And what sort of things do babies eat? How do you change diapers?!" Each question grew more and more hysterical. Kaga recognised the signs and leapt up from his chair and caught his love as she started to stagger back against the counter. The huskie clung to his shirt and shivered. "Damn hormones...getting to me..."
Kaga blinked, then sighed and curled his tail around her leg. "Oh hun...everything is going to be alright. I'm telling you, we'll be able to take care of everything."
"Yeah right..."
"I'm serious. I don't know what it means to be a father. But if we stick together and give it our all then we'll be okay." He smiled and tilted her chin up. "Come on...give me a smile for all that."
Rose sighed. "I don't know how you can stay with me...when I've just messed up your life like this." Her tail flicked back and forth, partly in fear and partly in annoyance. Why was he so happy?
"That's easy...I love you. Look. Here's how it will go. We'll get some money...you'll have the baby...and we'll take care of it together. It's as simple as that." He grinned at her scowl. She was so cute when she got annoyed.
The two sighed at the thoughts rumbling through their heads, it seemed this baby thing was still difficult even if the simple plan was out there. Rose started to open her mouth and speak her mind wanting to say something about money and how, what if they didn't have enough. But Kaga did his classic signature calm down gesture, Placing a finger to Rose's lips he shh'ed her and whispered, "Maybe we should just finish dinner... then go to bed... Tomorrow we can think about things than... okay babe?"
Rose sighed and nodded alittle leaning up and kissing Kaga on the lips as she would whisper to him, "I'm actually gonna go lay down right now okay babe. I'm stressing things more than I need to... so... I'm gonna go lay down..." she stood up from her seat sliding from his arms and kissing him again on the forehead saying, "I love you..." as she picked up her dish bringing it to the pan with spaghetti in it scrapping it into the pan the setting the plate in the sink as she walked over to the TV turning it back up alittle saying, "Don't take too long out here Kaga...." Smiling as she walked around the counter and into the connected room making her way back to the hallway and to her room. The room was warmly lit after she turned on the light. Half lit on one side she pulled off her shirt and settled it on the floor, scooting out of her pants she left them on the floor and slowly walked over to the bed sitting down as she pulled off her socks dropping them also onto the soft rug. Looking at her pillow, it was pink a light rosy pink it made Rose smile, she loved her queen bed. Slowly moving over on the bed and laid her head down on the pillow with her rump in the air wagging her tail alittle, she made sure though she took off most of her clothing that she kept her black sports bra and matching black panties on, she bought them just a few days ago from Victoria's Secret. Slowly resting down on the bed laying on her side she would wrap her arm around herself and smile in the soft squishyness of the cushy bedding. Honestly she didn't know exactly why, but this bed, even though it was a cheap bed. It always made her smile when she laid on it. Relaxing, peaceful, she felt like she was floating on a cloud. With a warm sigh she whispered, "Maybe this won't turn out so bad...."
Meanwhile, Kaga had sat back down in his seat. Slowly picking up his fork, listening to the Television for a few moments he watched a fire that was going on at a skyscrapper in the middle of town, Honestly, he was alittle scared. He didn't know how to react about this, sure he could give reassurance to Rose. But... honestly he had to ask himself, could he reassure himself? With a sigh he slurped up a few noodles and sighed chewing on them thinking about this baby thing. Their's parenting classes he could go to, to prepare. But that was about it. "I could take Rose to a few parenting classes too..." he mumbled as he swallowed. Than sighed and leaned back flicking his tail back and forth before shaking his head and thinking of a few things, more things. Deeper. He lifted a subconsious finger to his mouth and bite his thumb nail for a moment before shaking his head twitching his leg as he picked up a mouthful of spaghetti. "Forget it Kaga.... think about it tomorrow like you said...." shoving the mouthful in his mouth he bite down and yelped, "Ow! Damn..." sticking his tongue out he sighed, "Bit my tongue...." shaking his head he swallowed and dropped the fork on the plate and stood up picking the plate up setting it on the counter. Thinking for a few moments before he would lift it up and scrap alittle left into the pan than put the pot lid back on and stick it in the refrigerator. After which he turned off the TV and made his way back to his and Rose's room where he saw Rose, already sleeping, no blankets over her.. breathing softly, her soft eyelids covering those soft pale silver eyes. It was amazing to watch her. To think... Kaga really was going to marry this woman.
Smiling Kaga would watch Rose laying there, standing in the doorway the whole time he watched her, before it seemed he had to gather the courage to walk closer. Slowly he knelt in front of her and leaned to kiss her on the forehead nuzzling her softly than backing away he made his way around the bed to scoot in slowly hoping not to wake her. Leaning up he turned off the lamp from the switch on it rather than at the door. Pulling off his shirt showing his tiny frame, small an lithe in build, barely any muscle at all, actually little to none to be completly honest. He would pull his pants off and slowly leave himself in his boxer briefs. Slowly placing his knee on the bed than his hand to lift up the blanket he scooted his leg down slowly and put his other hand on the bed moving onto the bed he smiled seeing her body not make a move as he slowly laid down beside her. With a smile, Kaga would pull the blanket up slowly over himself and Rose. Before slowly wrapping his arm over Rose whispering to her, "I love you Rose...." nuzzling the back of her neck as he shut his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
