1982-Mirage era, France
Christine sat on her bed, Indian style, swigging the bottle of vodka, she looked at Lindsey who was holding a joint between his fingers, like he wanted to say something to her, they had both lost people at the same time, Robin had slowly died in front of Lindsey's very eyes, she was like a sister to him and Christine had just heard that her ex lover, Dennis Wilson was dead. They both sat their in grief and shock, silence filled the room.
Lindsey couldn't look at her straight, he was sick of denying his feelings, it could have been her or him and he would never had got a chance to tell her how he felt. He had fallen in love with her slowly after meeting her, like a slow burning flame that strengthened with time.
He didn't like the way John treated her, he belittled her when he was drunk and she just shrugged everything off, pretending she didn't care. Lindsey had found her on the tour after the white album, with a bottle of empty pills and a canter of whiskey. She told him John was killing her emotionally and she was going insane, she couldn't cope anymore and didn't know what else to do, so the pills where her only option.
Lindsey was horrified and dragged her into the shower, making her throw them up, then he held her all night while she cried. He realised she was a lot softer and emotional than she pretended and he felt so sad for her. He had given her advice and helped her divorce John, the two men had never gotten on the same.
Christine had also fallen for Lindsey at the same time. No one had ever just held her all night, listened to every word she said and wiped her tears away. She was scared of her feelings though, so she distanced herself. He was with Stevie and she vowed to never be a homewrecker, so she increased her drug and alcohol intake invoking on a brief fling with Curry Grant, then when that failed because she simply got sober enough to realise he wasn't what she wanted.
Then, Lindsey and Stevie had broken up, she had tried to be there for both of them and she didn't want to think of herself. Lindsey was angry and broken over the matter and Christine hated seeing him so hurt. It had torn him apart and he had cried to her one night, saying it was all his fault about him and Stevie but it was too late, she had moved on with Don Henley.
Christine was exhausted and burning out from trying to help everyone and keep up with them, living from a suitcase exhausted her immensely, Lindsey had gotten with Carol Ann and then Dennis had come into Christine's life and they had often drank together, but their relationship was just built on alcohol, nothing more, only some days when Dennis felt romantic, but they hadn't lasted, Dennis ended up being worse than John when his drug abuse increased.
Then after Dennis, Christine thought Lindsey would hate her when he had caught a roadies girlfriend, Leila banging her with a strap on in the dressing room after a performance. Christine was sure he would hate her, but when she confronted him, in tears, he simply had taken both her hands and said he understood because he had a one night stand with Keith Olsen after breaking up with Stevie.
Lindsey now looked at Christine as she sipped the glass of liquor, he saw the tears falling from her eyes "Chris, please talk to me, I can't go through finding you trying to hurt yourself again!" He gently placed his hand on hers and she looked up, half smiling.
"I'm not that woman anymore Linds, I'm just thinking!" She exclaimed.
"About Dennis?" He asked.
"No, about us, when I heard on the radio, I was upset, yes him and I didn't work out but I never wished him any harm. Then I sat back ad thought, it could be worse! Who is the one man I can't live without ever seeing again?" Christine sipped her glass and finally locked eyes with his.
"And?" Lindsey was curious, he expected her to tell him she was back with John.
"You!" She exclaimed, pointing at him, while balancing a cigarette between her other fingers.
"Me, really? You couldn't live without me?" Lindsey asked, shocked.
Christine nodded, looking like a shy and scared child who was worried she had said the wrong thing.
Lindsey felt a pang of assurance, if Christine couldn't live without him, maybe she was in love with him "Really, why?"
"Because, no one has ever treated me like you have, you make me feel like a queen, some angel, I..." She paused "I'm rambling, sorry!" She stood up and walked around the room.
Lindsey sprung up as well, softy grabbing her and looking into her eyes, he knew now, he saw it in her eyes "Christine, if I am right, I want you to tell me, if I'm not, well slap me!"
"What Lindsey?" She asked, puffing on the cigarette.
"Have you developed feelings for me and your too shy and too loyal to Stevie to say anything? Your worried I will hurt you like everyone else and you have built your own little shell to hide in?" He softly asked, looking into her soul.
She was shocked, how could he know, she couldn't speak. She felt guilty as she looked at him longingly, the man she loved was in front of her, asking for her feelings. She nodded "I'm sorry, I can understand if you don't want to be around me anymore, I'm too old for you, too addictive, I have my own issues!" She nervously stuttered and Lindsey smiled.
"I love you, everything about you! Let's just forget everything! Pretend that it was a romance movie, no one else mattered! What would you do, hypothetically?"
"I would say I loved you for years, then kiss you and maybe let you make love to me!" She shyly whispered, looking at the floor.
Lindsey gently cupped her face and soon pressed his lips against hers, wrapping his arms around her and inhaling her soft rose and jasmine perfume as she gave entrance to his tongue, their tongues intertwining and dancing together as he picked her up and lowered her onto the bed. He looked into her eyes as he softy lifted her dress "Are you sure you really care about me?" She asked nervously.
"I love you and I want to show you!" He smiled, rubbing his hands up her toned legs.
"I haven't done this for a while!" She shyly and insecurely laughed.
"Well, let me look after you!" He warmly said in a deep husky tone full of love as he kissed her again and they passionately made love all night long, which started their secret romance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They continued spending the nights together and even going on sneaky dates. Until after discovering something, Christine was terrified things wouldn't be the same. One day, weeks after their first night together she watched as Lindsey strummed his guitar, thoughtfully. Her and him were the only ones in the studio "Lindsey!" Christine exclaimed, then she chewed her bottom lip, as he looked up, his thoughtful grey blue eyes, tentatively looking at her.
"What's wrong songbird?" He asked, hearing her beautiful British voice was filled with worry and nerves.
"Uh, never mind!" She shrugged, she couldn't find the right words, it was all so scary for her, never had she been in this predicament before, what if Lindsey didn't want her.
"I know something is up Chris, please tell me!" Lindsey said calmly, placing his guitar on the carpet and walking closer to her "Don't you want to go to that Mexican restaurant tonight?" He asked.
Christine looked away from him, she knew if he looked her in the eyes, she would let her walls down, probably cry and be honest, she didn't want that, she didn't want to feel weak "I just didn't feel well!" She stammered, starting to play random notes on the keyboard.
Lindsey looked at her keyboard, she didn't have her usual glass of wine or vodka tonic, resting there "Are you unwell, your not drinking yet?" He asked concerned, sensing an uneasy vibe about her, like she was scared.
"I will be fine, I have to , I mean, I er, want to cut down!" She nervously said.
"Christine, are you sick?" He asked, worried and paranoid after Robin.
"Lindsey, I want to know something, its been bothering me!" She said.
"What is it angel?" He asked tucking her loose strands of blonde hair behind her ear.
"I know it will be hard to tell everyone about us, it worries me the most but what are our plans Lindsey, what is what we have?" She asked, quickly, glancing at him.
"Baby, what's happened? Does someone know?" He asked, resting his hands on her shoulders and worrying.
"Things happen, Linds, what do we do, are we planning this long term, or are you just trying me out?" Christine asked, tears prickling her eyes from her overflowing insecurities.
"Jeez, I was going to wait until tonight to tell you, but I guess I will now, because I hate seeing you upset!" He replied, gently squeezing her shoulders.
Christine stared as he grabbed her hands and softly pulled her to her feet, he reached into his back pocket and got down onto one knee, Christine gasped in shock realising what he was doing "Christine Ann McVie, would you do the honour of becoming my wife? My best friend, my angel, my soul mate, marry me because I love you more than I can state!" He smiled, holding and opening a small red velvet box "I got you a platinum ring, with a ruby because I knows its your birthstone, a sapphire like your eyes and eight diamonds, because that's how many years we have almost known each other for, I love you Christine!" He beamed.
Christine burst into tears "Your so thoughtful and sweet, I want to say, yes, I fucking love you, so much! Yes, yes, yes because your amazing but, I fucked everything up! I just found out I'm three months pregnant, you must have got me pregnant our first night together, I'm so sorry!" Christine cried harder and Lindsey got to his feet.
"Your pregnant?" he asked, instantly understanding why she was acting strange.
She nodded and he pulled her into a hug, she was shocked.
"I'm happy Christine, I'm not angry at all, I think its wonderful, its fate!" He grinned, pulling back and looking into her worried eyes.
"Your not angry with me, I didn't plan it, we just weren't careful!" She stammered.
"We're going to be parents, there are no problems, its amazing, its perfect!" He smiled.
Christine's tears now turned into tears of happiness "All I have been thinking about is how beautiful and talented our baby will be, just like you I hope!"
"So now will you marry me?" he asked with a playful smile, overwhelmed with happiness.
"Yes, it was a yes instantly, I just didn't want to make you feel trapped!" She stammered.
Lindsey got the ring out of the box and she held out her hand gracefully, beaming as he slid the beautiful, shining ring onto her finger "Its so beautiful, so thoughtful, I love you so much, I'm so glad we met and you love me, like I love you!" She admired the ring and kissed him softly on the lips.
"The ring suits you, your my angel Christine and you were always perfect to me!" He rubbed her stomach and they locked lips, finally pulling away "Mrs Buckingham and my baby songbird!" He exclaimed with so much love as she giggled happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lindsey carried Christine silently into their shared room of Chateau d'Herouville, glad everyone else was busy, the building stank of pot and tobacco and Christine was glad when Lindsey and her were in their room, the intense smells making her nauseous.
They had ended their recording session straight after Lindsey slipped the ring on his pregnant girlfriend, now fiancé's finger. He smiled kissing her neck as he gently laid her on the bed "Are you up to this?" He smiled, rubbing her sides and looking into her crystal like blue eyes that charmed him.
"Hell yes!" She grinned sitting up and helping him unbutton his shirt, feeling instantly aroused and loved, excited and finally perfect.
"I think its so much sexier, knowing I put a baby in your sexy little body!" He purred, peeling her dress off and kissing her stomach lovingly.
"Oh Linds!" She moaned as he rubbed her sides continuing to kiss her already growing baby bump.
"No bra!" He grinned ogling her breasts that were noticeably bigger and more plump .
"It hurt too much!" She replied, then feeling self conscious.
"Aw my poor angel!" He cooed and kissed her breasts, gently sucking on of her nipples as she squirmed and he began gently rolling the other between his fingers. She moaned and whimpered with excitement, then he removed his hand and mouth, just rubbing her sides again.
"Linds, stop playing around, fuck me please!" Christine pleaded excitedly.
"Of course angel!" He kissed all along her neck and collarbone, then began pulling her underwear off, she fumbled with his belt which he helped her undo and he freed himself from his jeans and jocks, gently laying her down on the bed, he wanted to treat her extra gently after knowing she was carrying their child and he had noticed for months she hadn't been well, but they both shrugged it off as alcohol and stress, the new album had been stressful and she was falling asleep a lot easier, all of it was just pushed aside when it was now clearly symptoms of their baby hiding inside of her.
Christine still couldn't believe it herself, she had gone from being miserable, just a year ago to an excited and happy wife and Mum to be. She cried out as she felt Lindsey between her legs, licking, sucking, nibbling and exploring with his mouth, she didn't take long before she yelled out, Lindsey was turned on even more by her guttural and sensual noises as he lapped up all of her release, her accent had always aroused him, especially when she was frantically moaning his name or incoherently cussing from the pleasure that he was invoking on her especially when she was spread out, naked on his bed, trusting him and giving herself too him fully.
He smiled as he gently spread her legs wider and her inner lips, aligning his erect member inside of her, then he gently slid in with her back arching and her mouth opening with an excited moan. Lindsey stayed still for a moment, letting her adjust "You alright?" He asked massaging her hips as he felt her tight walls clinging onto him and expanding around his manhood
"Your so good!" She smiled looking stoned, she was feeling so euphoric, the pregnancy had been making her feel the sex even more vividly than ever before, everything was sensitive and swollen and she loved how sweet Lindsey was being with her body.
"Are you ready angel?" He asked before penetrating her more.
"Yes!" She nodded quickly, needing more of him. He slowly thrust in and out of her, not wanting to put too much pressure on her, knowing about the baby made him be cautious of slamming into her so he was very slow, which seemed to make her more excited and loud, finally they both reached their high and he slowly pulled out of her shaking and exhausted body "I love you Lindsey!" She smiled.
"I love you too Christine!" He smiled back warmly, cupping her face and kissing her slowly and passionately, their tongues lazily dancing together between their locked lips, he then flopped beside her, she curled up against him and he was excited to feel her stomach prodding his side "I can feel our baby already, your tummy is so hard!" He smiled, rolling onto his side and gently rubbing her stomach.
"God, you are so cute, I was so scared when I found out, I thought you wouldn't want it, or you thought I planned this to trap you, I was so scared and shocked, I still am, I wont be fun anymore Linds, I'm warning you, I am boring without booze!" She said honestly, resting her hand on his.
"You are not boring, even if you are angry and sitting in a rocking chair, that aint boring babe!" He smiled "You are the love of my life and carrying our child, that's special Chris, very special!"
"Am I really?" She asked, her face lighting up.
He nodded "Yes you are!"
"Oh Linds!" She laughed "I still am shocked by it all! I thought I couldn't get pregnant Linds, but you and I made a little baby together!" She smiled excitedly, Lindsey gazed at her sweet smile, her sun kissed face as her blue eyes sparkled and shimmered, her face was framed by her sandy blonde hair that was all messy after their love making and he was enchanted by her.
"Your the first woman I ever asked to marry me, I'm sorry it wasn't more special!" He grinned, holding her hand.
"Lindsey Buckingham!" She giggled gazing at her ring "It was special, we pretty much became fiancés and expectant parents in the same day and being musicians, a recording studio was the perfect place!"
"You are perfect!" He quipped touching the tip of her nose, the he was soon above her again, very aroused knowing she was carrying a baby that they had made from pure love.
"Oh Linds!" She grinned as he soon peppered her neck and face with kisses, sucking on her neck and earlobe as she writhed beneath him, soon his face was back between her legs, eating her as he slid a finger inside, feeling her very warm and slick opening, once his finger was inside he just stroked her inner walls, making her squirm and whimper with excitement, he slid a second finger in and she moaned contently,he didn't thrust in and out, he sucked and nibbled her sensitive bud and stroked her spongy area inside, soon she couldn't stop herself as she yelled out louder than ever,her body shaking as she reached her climax, squirting out at him and panting "I'm sorry!" She stammered embarrassed once she had regained self control of herself,
Lindsey popped his head up grinning "Its fine babe, I just made you squirt, don't feel bad, its really sexy!" He beamed, removing his fingers and licking them.
Christine felt another rush or arousal rush through her watching as he cleaned her release of his fingers, she also blushed and bit her bottom lip, no one had ever made love the way Lindsey did "That was amazing, it felt so intense, I never thought that kind of thing could actually happen!" She smiled shyly and noticed her Lindsey's neck was glistening, clearly from when she squirted at him.
"I wanted to make my wife to be feel good, don't be embarrassed, your so cute!" Lindsey cooed, soon kissing her face again.
"I'm exhausted though, I don't think I can handle another orgasm, especially the way you make me come!" She giggled.
"Lets sleep then my wifey to be, I love you and our little baby!" He grinned and cuddled her.
