Chapter 6: Happy At Last

Luna jumped up from behind the couch and playfully tackled Lewis. "Gotcha!" She said.

"Actually, I believe I've got you," he said with a chuckle as she began playfully squirming to get out of his grasp and he gently wrestled with her as she did so.

She had come over to hang out with him and it turned into a playful game of chase and then hide and seek, which now led to them playfully roughhousing.

Lewis wrapped Luna up in his arms and she squirmed and suddenly leaned against him, making him lose his balance and fall onto the couch and she landed on top of him, laughing as he gently held her in place and motioned some of the Deadbeats over. "Tickle her," he said to them.

The small pink ghosts came over instantly and began tickling Luna, who squirmed to get free as she laughed, but Lewis held her firmly, but gently while the Deadbeats tickled her.

The young adult continued to squirm and laugh before the Deadbeats saw she was running out of breath and so stopped, allowing her to collapse on top of Lewis and try to catch her breath. As she felt him rub her back, she braced herself on her elbows and looked at him with a smile before suddenly looking mischievous and turning to the Deadbeats floating nearby.

"Hey, is Lewis ticklish?" She asked them.

The ghostly skeleton's eyes widened and he began stammering as he tried to command the Deadbeats to not even try, but instead of listening to him, they swarmed him and began tickling him.

Luna laughed as she heard Lewis laugh and she playfully pinned him down as he squirmed like crazy with the Deadbeats tickling his underarms and knees.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Lewis laughed out, making Luna giggle more.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle!" She said teasingly as she joined the Deadbeats in tickling Lewis, her fingers wiggling mercilessly into his sides, his exposed ribs, and his stomach.

Now Lewis was really desperate and tried commanding the Deadbeats to stop tickling him, but they kept it up for a bit as did Luna until she stopped and motioned the Deadbeats to let their master up.

She got up too and watched Lewis stand up before he looked at her with a grin that told her she was in for a big tickle torture from him. Giggling, she took off and he followed, staying hot on her trail.

Luna kept giggling and laughing as she playfully ran from Lewis and he chased her. "You're not going to escape me once I get you!" He said teasingly to her.

She giggled "And what if I'm okay with that?" She teased back.

Lewis playfully narrowed his eyes at that sentence and soon caught up to her, but she was still running a bit ahead of him before she suddenly swung around the banister of the stairs and he flew past her a bit, making her laugh as he tried to stop, but kept going and actually phased through the wall, making her laugh harder before she went to run again, but Lewis suddenly popped up in front of her and grabbed her.

"Oh!" She cried out in surprise through her laughter as he began tickling her, not missing one of her tickle spots as she tried to squirm away, but was unable to break away from his strong, gentle hold on her.

Lewis smiled as he heard Luna laugh before he suddenly kissed her while still tickling her and she laughed into the kiss before sinking a bit in his arms, making him break the kiss and she grabbed his hands to still them as she tried to catch her breath.

Luna rested her head on Lewis' shoulder and looked up at him with a smile and he gently tilted her chin up a bit more and kissed her deeply. She moaned softly and felt him wrap his arms around her securely and she held onto him as love surrounded them.

A few years later…

Luna sighed with a smile as she sat down, a little exhausted from entertaining her parents and siblings, but she was alright with it. They had come and put together a baby shower for her and Lewis as Luna was expecting his child.

Her mother was so happy she was going to be a grandmother that she had had tears in her eyes. "It doesn't seem that long ago that you and Lewis were married," she had said.

Luna had agreed. After she had graduated college with her degree in Journalism, Lewis had given her the best graduation present by proposing to her. They had just celebrated their one-year anniversary and now were going to have a little one soon.

Lewis came into the living room and sat by her. "Luna," he spoke, his voice going lower and making a shiver run down her spine as she smiled at him.

"Only four more months," she said with a smile.

He nodded and began rubbing his wife's rounded stomach as he then kissed her deeply to show her how much he loved her and she returned the kiss happily, sighing softly as she snuggled into her husband's warm embrace.

They were both happy as they had not only healed each other, but also set each other free of their pasts, which allowed love to surround them as Lewis held Luna close and she returned the hug before becoming lost in bliss as he kissed her deeply once more.
