You just had a baby last week and at last, you're at home with your newborn child. Cause you're a single mother you could use all the help so your close friend River stepped in. In the beginning, you felt sorry for him because he has made many sacrifices to be helpful however he insists he is of help. Because you are a big-time actress you and River became friends within the film industry right from the start. Needless to say when you learned you were expecting the first person you told was River. River was more than happy when you announced your pregnancy and he was there from the start. He provided support for the whole nine months and continues to do so. Since you came home River has been doing housework, looking after you, and caring for your infant. River's good with kids and you'd be lying if you were to say you did not feel a particular way when you see him hold your baby.
You had no knowledge about how River felt towards you. You tried to dismiss your romantic feelings and concentrate on your newborn but it is difficult and you are entirely unaware that River is fighting the same struggle itself. River feels awkward making his move at this time because you are in a vulnerable position however he cannot restrain. Tonight River put your infant down for the night and you two are in the middle of a conversation in the kitchen. You and River are having a natural conversation talking about your day and how you feel ensuring that you weren't hurting. River is situated atop the kitchen countertop and you are standing before him. River looked at you like he never has before; and, he slowly leaned forward, attempting to kiss you however, you pulled away.
"What's the matter? O-oh God- Did I do something wrong?" River stammered. "River, you're my best friend. I appreciate all you've done, all you do, but I don't think I can do this. It's wrong." You replied. River understood your fear of ruining the platonic relationship you both shared however, he's loved you more than that for the longest time and, his feelings have enhanced to a serious romance. "No, no, Y/N. You don't understand. I love you, I love your baby...- Trust me, I know what I want." River told you confidently. As you started to process Rivers confession he caught you off guard when you felt his lips collide with yours. In that moment, all of your previous apprehensions vanished and you were left with a sense of passion you haven't felt before. You were in love with River just as he was with you.
