Marshall's POV
"What was it you wanted to talk about?"
I take hold of ther hand, preparing myself for the conversation we're about to have...
"Er- I think you should get the surgery." I blurt out, way to go Marshall. I couldn't have broken the idea gently, nope, it's all or nothing.
"I- I don't follow." Soph says as she furrows her brows, clearly trying to figure out what I'm talking about. "What surgery?"
"The one to remove them ad-adhesive things, or whatever they are."
Soph bursts out laughing, clutching one hand over her mouth and removing the other from my hand and placing it over her healing stitches.
"What? What's so funny?"
"A-ad-adhesive?" She barely gets out as tears stream down her face and she clutches her stitches harder. "It's adhesions you dumb fuck."
"Dumb fuck? Bit of a change from Marshmallow, huh?"
"You're my dumb fuck if that makes it any better." She says, taking hold of my hand again as she finally calms down.
"It doesn't. Anyway, what do you say to the surgery?"
"Marsh, where's all this coming from?" She asks softly.
"So It's A No? You're Not Even Going To Consider It?" I whisper harshly as my anger takes over, not wanting to shout in front of Ava.
"No, no. That's not what I'm saying, sure the surgery could make things worse but it's a risk I'm willing to take. I just want to know why the man who was dead set on never having another child is now raising his five year old and entertaining the idea of a surgery that would allow for more children in the future." She explains and I instantly feel like shit for losing my temper at her again.
"I'm not for a second rejecting the idea, you know it's a dream of mine but I want to make sure you want this. I don't want to end up alone again." She says softly.
"I'm sorry, I ain't know why I got mad at you but I want this, it's all I've thought about since I woke up today. I want to experience everything that I missed out on wit' Ava with you. Apart from them shitty shows she's been makin' me watch, next kid ain't allowed children's tv because I swear to God Soph it's making me go crazy." She smiles at my mini rant.
"Welcome to my world Marsh. It'll start getting worse anytime now when she discovers how close to Christmas it is, oh and wait for the Christmas movies, Home Alone, The Grinch and Nativity will be the only things gracing you're tv screen for the next few of months."
"Months?" I question, alarm probably written across my face.
"Ava likes to carry the Christmas movies on into the New Year, be prepared."
I look over to see Ava watching cartoons and sigh, mentally trying to prepare myself for the torture this child is going to bring me this Christmas as Sophia smirks at my expense.
"So should I get the surgery booked? Like how soon are you thinking?"
"Get the surgery soon if you want but we'll see how everything goes before we commit to actually trying for a baby."
"What, you'll decide if you can cope with more Disney?"
"Pretty much."
"Well there's no point then, you'll never have another baby if we're basing it on your tolerance of Disney."
"Fuck off." I say and playfully hit her arm before noticing she has tears in her eyes.
"You good?" I ask as I tighten my hold on her hand.
"Are we really doing this? Are we going to have another baby?" She questions as she wipes the tears from her face.
"We are." I confirm and lean in to place a gentle kiss on her lips...
