Your past and mine are parallel lines
As Zavien spoke, easing her worries with a practiced touch that had her melting against him, Soh smiled up at him. She still wasn’t sure she’d make a great mother, given that she had limited experience with any kind of parental figure, but she had to agree that loving their child was the most important thing she could offer. And love them she did, even now, even though she was surprised and overwhelmed by their very existence.
Thoughts of massages and supply runs and fries and milkshakes had her laughing, the sound brighter now that they both seemed to be adjusting to the unexpected news. ”I think I’ll need something with a little more substance from time to time,” she teased. ”But I’ll keep the offer in mind.”
Zavien tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. ”What did I do,” she asked, brushing a thumb over his cheek, ”To get so lucky?” To have found someone so wholly dedicated to her - to their growing family, she realized, the thought bringing happy tears to her eyes - and to bringing her happiness and comfort, even in the moments she was sure she’d be left standing alone again?
His kiss was sweet and full of unspoken meaning, and she hummed happily as he pulled away. ”As will mine for you,” she whispered, closing her eyes as she pressed her forehead to his. The magnitude of their situation was beginning to register now, but rather than be filled with more trepidation, she was now starting to feel excited. It might be sooner than they’d anticipated, but that didn’t make it any less joyful - especially now that she knew they’d both wanted this, someday.
”How are you feeling about all this?” she asked, opening her eyes to meet his gaze. It wasn’t just about her and her emotions. He’d done a wonderful job of soothing her worries (for now, anyway), but she wanted him to have the same space to share that he’d granted her.
