~Zaria's POV~

A few weeks have passed and Darry had been really protective. Ophelia, Jax, and myself can't go outside for our walk anymore. Which really upset the kids. Darry has also been really distant, whether it was talking or sleeping. He lays on his side facing the door, so I can't listen to his heart beat as I fall asleep anymore and when I get cold he isn't there to pull me closer. I sat in the living room looking over the wedding plans, wondering if they were still happening. I heard the rattle of the truck and then Darry's footsteps on the porch. The kids ran to the door and waited. I watched Darry walk in and hug the kids. I smile softly and watch as he walks to the room and then frown. Where was my hug and kiss? I look down and tear up. I didn't move when I heard him walk back in and then sit next to me. I pushed his hand away and scooted over.

"Zaria," he says.

"You didn't even look at me when you walked in," I snap.

Darry looks at me, trying to say something.

"Do you know how much that hurts Darry? You're so distant after what happened with Dawn. I haven't slept in a week okay! I'm pretty sure I'm developing anxiety and most importantly you don't do your sweet things that mean nothing to other people but so much to me!" I say, tears falling down my face.

"Zaria, I'm distant because I don't want that to happen to you too," Darry says.

"But we could at least cuddle when we sleep or kiss before going to sleep. I can't sleep without it."

I felt Darry pull me close and held me tightly. I started sobbing into his chest.

"Shh baby I'm sorry," Darry says.

I nod and held him close, "Just be my Darry again."

"I will sweetie I will."

I smile and look up at him and kissed him softly. Darry gently kisses back and ran a hand through my hair pulling out my pony tail holder.

"Ewww!" I hear two little voices squeal and I pull away from Darry to see our two kids staring at us.

Darry let's out a chuckle and I get up and go over to our kids and picks them up, giving them kisses on the cheek. Jax makes a face and Ophelia giggles and hugs my neck.

"You are so your father's son baby," I say go Jax and smiles at Darry.

"Means I gonna be taller than mama!" Jax giggles and looks at me.

Darry laughs and nods, "Yes you are buddy," he says taking Jax.

I pout, "I'm not that short!"

"Babe, you're 5'4". Yes you're short," Darry smiles at me.

"You're 6'1" Darry! Okay fine I'm short," I sigh.

"It okay mama I short too," Ophelia says.

I giggle and hug her tighter and smile gently at Darry.

I love my family.
