she would never .
being engaged to tim bradford hasn’t made her as grumpy as him ( *yet ) .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
she nearly melts at his words . even after years , he still has that effect on her .
“ i love our family , too , ” she says with a fond smile , “ even when our tiny tyrant makes me nauseous at work . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
her heart drops at his words , mind flashing back to the horrors that had happened to them .
she cups his cheek , stroking it gently with her thumb .
“ babe . . i’m right here . i’m okay . *we’re okay . we came home . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the words make her smile , and she places her hand in his —— she does need it .
“ that . . sounds amazing , actually . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
well , that explains it . she leans in to press a kiss to his cheek .
“ wanna talk about it ? it might help you let go of it . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
she shakes her head , defeated .
“ i ate it anyway because i was hungry . now your kid is mad at me and is making me feel nauseous . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“ it’s important to me if it upsets you , ” she says , tilting her head , “ and i can tell that it is . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
she notices , though . she always does .
she presses a kiss to his jaw before stroking it with the back of her fingers .
“ what’s going on in that head of yours ? ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ
he had that* bad dream again. being unable to save @seeksgood as they remained in that safe.
but, he can’t seem so clingy. so he stifles it,
ᅠ
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
her hand comes up to rest against his cheek —— thumb caressing it gently .
“ we are so lucky to have you , ” she says , “ that’s the first thing i thought when i found out . how lucky i was to be doing this with you . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
well , now the tears definitely spill . she looks at the man she loves , her future husband , the father of her unborn child —— her heart nearly bursting .
“ i’m really , really happy , too , ” she whispers , “ and i love you *so much , tim . ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
her own eyes fill with tears and she nods , sniffling softly as she looks up at her fiancé . lips now curved into a smile .
“ i’m carrying our baby , ” she repeats his words , “ i take it you’re happy . . ? ”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
leaning into his embrace , she nods , closing her eyes for a moment .
“ yeah , ” she whispers , a nervous chuckle escaping her lips , “ yeah , we’re having a baby . that second line was aggressive , by the way . didn’t even let me doubt for a second . ”
