Hope I Did All Right With The Melting - Tumblr Posts

Steven laughs—a laugh you've hardly heard before, as if it were gripping his very throat with unspoken emotions.

One of his hands lands before his eyes, as if perhaps the news is too much to take in: he has to close himself from one of his senses and be in the dark for a few seconds to fully comprehend what you've just announced.

"I'm pregnant."

"Wha'?"

"Steven," you had repeated calmly, the blue test in your hand and approaching the corner of the bed to sit beside him, "I'm pregnant."

Maybe it was too much? Maybe Steven wasn't ready for it?

Then, his palm falls to his heart, revealing the crinkle of his eyes that you've come to know and love. And he let himself fall as well into the news with a delighted sight.

"Oh my days," you hear him say with a tone conveying genuine wonder.

Then he sits himself back up as if he had an electric shock, turning all of his being towards you.

"Are you all' right, love?" he asks, placing his warm and big hands suddenly on the sides of your arms, a concerned look tainting his brown eyes. "You don't feel sick or anything?"

It's your turn to laugh and reassure him: "It won't come for a few weeks."

His comforting palms ensconce themselves in the crook of your neck. His lips meet yours with a softness that almost breaks you. Once. Twice. Longer, and he lingers, then puts his forehead against yours. 

"Okay, I'll be with you, love, every step of the way, yeah?" 

"I know," you confess to him with almost a whisper, and you add, "I love you." 

"I love you."

Then, he takes you into the crook of his arms, an embrace that makes you shriek and giggle as he gently pulls you to fall with him on the quilt. His laughs mingle with yours, and time suspends itself as you both share with delight the oldest secret humanity has ever known.
