KekahJ's Choice: Both
Title:
“So, are you sure?” he asked.
“Yep,” she said staring at the ceiling.
“How many--”
“Three,” she replied, cutting his question off almost before it began.
He sighed and then there was silence for a moment. Neither of them knew what to say. He absentmindedly kicked the bed’s foot board while she fidgeted with the sheets.
“Wow,” he said.
“Yeah, wow...” she echoed.
He propped himself up on one elbow so he could look at her face. “Are you...happy?” he asked.
She thought for a moment, and while she thought, he studied her face. Finally, a slow smile parted her lips. “I think so. It’s kind of early to tell, and I might be in shock, but yes. I think I’m happy.”
He watched her for a moment longer before nodding. “Good.” He tucked his shoulder and rolled onto his back again, this time taking her arm with him so that his head was resting in the crook of her arm. “If you’re happy, I’m happy.” He took the threads of one of the woven bracelets she wore between his thumb and forefinger, rolling it up and down.
She looked at him, surprised. “Really? I mean, we never really talked about this before. I didn’t think you’d be happy.”
He shook his head as they both shifted onto their sides facing each other. “No, I’m happy. I mean, I figured this would happen eventually, just not...now. But it’s okay. I’m happy.”
She grinned and leaned closer, kissing his nose. “I love you.”
He smiled and kissed her back. “I love you too.” He paused for a moment, then placed one hand on her flat stomach. “And I love you, too.”
