He moved to sit beside her and remained quiet, watching her.

"I got in a fight with a tree," she murmured after a minute, to explain the cut on her cheekbone. "The tree won."

“I’ve heard trees are pretty good fighters,” he said.

Liss chuckled quietly. "Apparently." She leaned into him.

He wrapped and arm around her.

"I'm sorry," she murmured quietly.

“I’m sorry too,” he said.

by **feathertail** Tue Aug 14, 2018 4:47 am

"I'm just- I'm scared."

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 6:57 am

“You think I’m not?” Gray asked. “It’s normal to be scared.”

by **feathertail** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:05 am

"You're not the one carrying them for nine months," Liss returned, but there was no heat in her voice. "I don't know if I'm ready."

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:07 am

“Neither of us are ready. No one is ever ready, Liss. Even the parents who have been planning and trying for years still aren’t ready,” he said, looking at her. “But we’re gonna be okay.”

"They're more ready than I am. I- I wanted to kill our baby, Gray," she uttered, and choked up, hiding her face in his neck to shield her tears from view.

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:16 pm

"Can I tell you a secret?" he asked softly, rubbing her back gently.

by **feathertail** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:18 pm

"You know you can," Liss mumbled quietly.

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:22 pm

"I was kind of hoping that I didn't get you pregnant. But then I found out you were and my morals kicked in," he admitted.

by **feathertail** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:29 pm

Liss leaned more into him. "I- honestly don't remember that night."

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:34 pm

"I remember bits of it," he said.

by **feathertail** Tue Aug 14, 2018 7:37 pm

"I don't know if I want to know," Liss confessed

by **Sofie Berry** Tue Aug 14, 2018 10:32 pm

“You were amazing,” he said.

by **feathertail** Wed Aug 15, 2018 2:59 am

Liss snorted into his shoulder.

by **Sofie Berry** Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:14 am

“You were,” he said determinedly.

by **feathertail** Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:20 am

"I'm sure you were too," she murmured, but it came out a little more patronising than she wanted.

by **Sofie Berry** Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:28 am

Gray said nothing in return

by **feathertail** Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:31 am

Liss looked up at him. "Hey. I'm sure you were." It sounded a bit more honest this time.

by **Sofie Berry** Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:32 am

He nodded. “You okay now?” he asked.
