[Corpse's POV]

Y/N sat next to me on the couch, her feet lying across my lap as I had my eyes glued to the TV. I gently massaged them as I watched the game, trying not to miss anything important. She was nose deep in her book, humming contently. 

"Hm..." she said as she turned the page.
"What's going on?" I asked her with a chuckle.

"It's getting interesting." She giggled as I continued to watch the game, sighing as our team was behind by a point.

She put her book down, fixing her eyes on the screen along with me. 
"What's going on?" she asked in a whisper, making me giggle as she mocked me jokingly, yet genuinely wondering what was going on in the game.

"We're behind by a point. But if the guy playing third base tags the person on second then we'll be good." I explained. 
"Oh." she nodded, still not seeming to fully understand.
"Because if the guy batting hits the ball, it's going straight to the third baseman. He's not a very good hitter so it's not going very far. So if the third baseman catches the ball the guy is out and he'll get the guy on second out so nobody else will be able to score. Then the innings will switch and our team will go up to bat instead." I continued.

She nodded her head again, seeming to understand more now.

"You're so cute with all your sporty guy stuff." she laughed, making me chuckle.

I continued to rub her feet as I kept explaining the game, before hearing a light smacking on the hardwood floor.

It was our daughter, waddling up to us and placing her Barbie in my lap. 

I chuckled, picking up the doll. 
"Oh, thank you! She's so pretty." I said, playing along and petting the dolls hair, making my wife giggle as she watched us. 

I handed the Barbie back to her, and she placed it back in my lap again.

We played that game for another minute or so, before she hoisted herself up onto my lap. 

"Hi, princess." I smiled, kissing her nose and making her giggle. She laughed, letting me kiss her again. 

"Who's that?" Y/N said, pointing to me. "Who's that, hm?" she asked, trying to engage her.

"Daddy!" she said, grabbing my face and giggling.

Y/N's face lit up, along as mine. 

"Yes, good job, baby! I'm daddy. Say it again. Say dad-dy" I said, breaking up the word.

"Daddy!" she giggled, kissing me innocently.

I smiled, kissing her nose. 

"Good job tootie!" I smiled, tickling her sides as she giggled against my shoulder.

The game eventually ended and I lied her down to go to bed.

I walked into my wife and I's bedroom, seeing Y/N lying down already and sniffling into the pillow. Was she crying?

I walked up to her, sitting on the side of the bed. 

"What's wrong, princess?" I asked softly, taking her hand in mine.
"Nothing, baby. Thanks for asking, though."
"But you're crying, doll... what's wrong?" I asked, wiping her tears and kissing her forehead.
"She's just getting so big." she chuckled, wiping the rest of her tears.
"Oh, baby-" I chuckled, kissing her softly. "It's okay. I know it's hard. She's gonna be graduating and getting married next thing we know." I told her.

She sighed, rolling over and putting her head in my lap. "It seems like yesterday we found out I was pregnant." she sniffled. 
"I know... time really does fly." I reminded her, kissing her forehead. 

"Do you think we could have another?" she asked sweetly and quietly.

I chuckled a little, shrugging.

"I dunno. We can, it's just a matter of finding the right time." I said quietly, rubbing her back. 

"Can we try?..." she asked.

I shrugged again. "Maybe after she starts pre-school. So in the next two years." 

She nodded, before shrugging. "We don't have to if you don't wanna. I just thought it might be nice. I kind of miss the bottles and car seats and diapers and having to be super careful to be honest." She laughed. Now, our daughter was more of a risk taker. She enjoyed being thrown around jokingly and being dangled over the sides of the porch or the banisters. She thought it was hilarious.

"No, I think it might be really nice... we're gonna need someone to keep her company before she gets older." I laughed, making her giggle as well. 

"I'm just scared... what if we struggle again? What if it takes longer than expected like it did last time? What if... just... there's so many things that could happen. I don't want to go through those things again." she ranted.

I frowned, pulling her into my chest as my head hit the pillow. 

"I know, baby. We have time. She's only two. We're not in a huge hurry. Don't worry." I said, kissing her forehead.

She sighed, shrugging. "I guess you're right. Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. It's normal to get anxious about that kind of thing. Starting a family in general is nerve wracking on its own, along with the expenses and medical parts of it."

"Yeah. I guess you're right."

"Good girl. Now try to get some sleep."
