Walking Her Home

By Captainkodak1

Ron held on to Kim's hand as they walked down the street passing through the pools of light from the streetlights. He turned to look at her when she gave his hand a slight squeeze. She faced him with the same demure smile she had worn most of the night, at least after….

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

It was their first real date after that one special Prom. He had shown up at the Possible's home in plenty of time to pick up Kim. If felt so strange going up and knocking on the door instead of walking right in like he used to. But now things were different. He wanted to do things right. Mr. and Mrs. Possible had met him at the door and ushered him into the living room. Mrs. P. went up to get Kim while Mr. P. sat and talked to him. He didn't have much to say, just have her home on time and not to hurt her. Ron thought that the last thing he would do was anything to hurt Kim and that he would definitely have her home on time. Kim had made her appearance and the two of them had left for their first official date, just supper at a nice restaurant and then a movie. Kim hung on his arm the whole evening. Now they were walking back home taking their time but quickly enough to be home on time. He felt like he was walking ten feet off the ground. He was…

He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ron walked back forth in the waiting room, his face covered by light stubble, his hair and clothes rumpled. He would stop every so often and look up at the clock. His head whipped around at the doctor came into the room.

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

The doctor had led him down the hall and into Kim's room. He slowly walked across the floor to stare down into the bed at the small bundle nestled next to her. Her hair lay damp across her forehead, exhaustion plain on her face, but the smile on her face lit up the room. Her glorious green eyes shone with happiness.

"He's got your eyes."

She pulled back the blanket covering the small package at her side. Ron looked down into two small eyes looking up at him. Ron's heart melted as the small face yawned and closed its eyes. Kim sighed.

"He's already tired. He's had a big day."

Ron grinned.

"So has someone else I know."

He walked around the other side of the bed and lowered the bed rail. Before Kim could stop him he climbed into the bed and nestled close to her. She gave into his embrace and laid her head on her favorite spot on his shoulder. Closing her eyes with a contented sigh she drifted off to sleep. She was in his arms and holding their child. Kim reached up with her free hand and took his. She could not be happier than this moment. They had faced so much together and would face more. But for now, they were together, just like they had been that night when he…

He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ron shuffled down the hall to Kim's room. Time had taken its toll on both of them. The injuries, the exposure to the chemicals used by all the villains over the years and time had finally done what so many villains over the years had tried to do. He knew the looks from the doctors and nurses. He had seen them all too often over years. The love of his life would not last much longer but she was hanging on for him. But now, he had to do something that would break his heart yet also lift a great burden. He had to do what he had done so many times in their life, standing beside her, holding her hand, all of it starting from that first time he had walked her home. Now he was going to walk her home to a new home.

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Ron held on to Kim's hand just as he always had. Her head was nestled in the special place on his shoulder. Her silver hair still had a slight auburn tinge to it. He settled down and pulled her closer to him. A slight murmur came from her lips as she nestled closer to him. Her hand slowly raised itself up and gathered his into hers. He closed her eyes and concentrated on her breathing and the low beating of her heart. In his mind he could see her running across a meadow of green grass. She was wearing his favorite tank top and Capri pants. She ran up to him and gave him a warm kiss, just like she had so many times. They joined hands and walked toward the light that beckoned to them. He knew he would walk part of the way with her just as he walked her home so many times before. He would walk her to the door of her new home and give her a kiss. She would turn and go into the door knowing that he would see her again soon.

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for awhile they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

He held her until she breathed her last breath. He bent down and gently kissed her forehead as a tear slid down his face. He was…

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call.

Hey everyone. I know it's not a Halloween fic, but this one has been on my mind for some time. The song is called "Walking Her Home" by Mark Schultz. To me is fit the two of them as they seemed to walk a lot through the show. I hope that you liked it. Drop me a review. I would appreciate it.
