Cowgirls Don't Cry.

Kevin pulled Rick close, kissing his nose and holding him tightly.
He sighed and kissed his lovers hair, waiting for him to sleep.
It was silent in the home...
His mother had gone to his room to settle in.
It was getting late.

Rick slowly fell asleep, his arms around Kevin tightly.
Alex came up and lifted Mike and Jayden, carrying them to their bedroom.

:Mike sighed softly, smiling and kissing his cheek.
"Hey babe, ill be in here later..."
He was ready to cuddle...
But the absence of his ring and feeling Alex's hand an knowing his isnt there either...
It hurt...
he had to go.

Alex frowned.
"You just got back..."

"I...."
He didnt want Alex to see him cry....
He cried himself to sleep everynight...

"Come here sweety... please..." He opened his arms.

Mike whimpered and rolled into his lovers arms, pressing close to Alex.
He remembered...Laying in bed at a hotel room before they had a home...in their twenties...just now pregnant with Biddy...Crying with his lover holding him.

"Baby.... I'm gonna fix this... us..." He kissed him softly.

"Alex..."
Could they be fixed?
He pressed his face into Alex's neck and let the tears come.
It had been so long since he and Alex shared a bed.

"I will.." He whispered, stroking his hair

Mike sniffled, nodding slowly.
"I-I dont l-like being Mi-Mike Miz-Mizanin!"

"Then marry me again sweety..." He kissed his temple.

Mike sniffled, giggling softly.
"Now what kind of proposal is that compared to our first one?" He intertwined their fingers.

"Hush you..." He chuckled, kisisng him sweetly.

"Im not kidding, look where are the rings?" Mike wiped his eyes, glancing the room over.

Alex grabbed a small box under the bed.
"In here.."

Mike pulled the box away, picking out the rings, including the engagement ring.
He knelt down to on knee, taking Alex's hand and kissing it softly.
"Alex Riley....Marry me? Sleep with me every night. Never let either of us be lonely. Have my babies and ill have yours, be with me and only me Alex and ill be with you, forever ill be true. Never has a day gone by where I havent thought of you, never has a day gone by I havent loved you....When you were with Lane my heart ached and I longed for you...When I died I hated that I left you. When you went to war I prayed not to lose you. When I have my children I want their daddy to hold my hand, I want you to hold my hand, when you kissed Lane I hope you thought of me and if not, think of me every day from now on. When you let Dustin touch I felt betrayed and I had to end it, had to let you know I could take no more...Alex have me back but this time....Me and you, forever and ever babe...so marry me? Give me my last name back Alex...."

"I'm supposed to propose..." He smiled softly and lifted Mike up, kissing him deeply. "Of course baby.."

"Then propose but still..." Mike slipped the ring on his finger, smiling at it.

Alex hugged him tight.
"I love you..."

"I love you too." Mike hummed lightly. this was weird, he never thought he would propose...

Alex didnt either but it didnt matter... they were going to remarry..

"Now I feel all weird." Mike snuggled Alex close, pressing his head into the crook of his lovers neck.

"Why baby?" He hummed, holding him tight.

"I dunno, its strange being the one to propose I guess." Mike hugged onto his lover.
