to your room

Despite the tension, the tears, the thick misery between them, Remi can't help but laugh at that. Wrapping his arms a touch protectively around himself, he leans against the door frame and offers his husband a bemused look. "Well of course it's empty." He agrees, biting the inside of his cheek to keep his smile from growing too wide despite the situation.

"I can't make a baby on my own. Well," Quickly Remi shakes his head correcting himself. "I suppose here of all places I could, but...I wouldn't want to." Swallowing hard and ruffling his fingers through his curls, he shifts his gaze to the empty crib, offering it a pained smile. "I suppose I had thought...if there wasn't a way for us to have a family up there, that...we could have it here."

So there it was. His soul laid bare before the only man he'd ever be that properly vulnerable to. Oh, he's said things here and there about having another child, but in the big scheme of things with Safrin and Ludo and the state of the world...it seemed impossible. But here? Where beams could have initials in hearts and the world could be sculpted to suit their moods...why not?

who's got their claws in you my friend?
into your heart i'll b e a t  again
