Morning:
The soft light of the morning creeps through the curtains, gently waking Tan from his sleep. He stretches and turns toward Fang, who is still lying beside him, curled up and peaceful. Tan smiles, feeling the warmth of the moment and the love he has for Fang. He leans over, brushing a strand of hair from Fang's face, then softly whispers in his ear.
Tan (whispering gently): "Good morning, babe."
Fang stirs slightly, his eyes fluttering open. He smiles sleepily at Tan, his expression soft and content. Tan, still holding Fang close, places his hand gently on Fang's growing belly, the life inside him a constant reminder of the future they're building together.
Tan (with a soft chuckle): "Good morning, little one."
He caresses Fang's tummy, feeling a moment of connection with the baby growing inside. His heart swells with affection for both Fang and their child. Fang chuckles lightly, his hand coming to rest on Tan's.
Fang (with a sleepy smile): "Good morning, love."
Tan leans down, pressing a soft kiss to Fang's forehead, savoring the moment. The world outside may be bustling, but in this quiet moment, it's just them together, wrapped in warmth and love.
Tan (softly): "I love you, Fang. I love you both."
Fang smiles, his heart full, and nods in response, his eyes heavy with sleep but filled with the same love.
Fang (whispering): "I love you too, Tan. More than anything."
They share a quiet moment, holding each other and the baby close, ready to face whatever the day might bring, but knowing that together, they can handle anything.
As the quiet moment settles between them, Tan strokes Fang's back softly. A sudden thought sparks in his mind, breaking the peace but bringing a smile to his face.
Tan (softly, but excited): "Hey, love, guess what? It's your first check-up today!"
Fang pulls away slightly, his eyes lighting up despite his earlier grumpiness.
Fang (excited): "Oh! That's today?!"
Tan (chuckling): "Yup. I've already planned everything out. After the appointment, I thought we could do some groceries too. Stock up on all the healthy stuff you've been craving."
Fang's face brightens even more, his grumpiness completely forgotten now.
Fang (smiling wide): "Really? You mean we can pick snacks too? The baby wants them."
Tan (teasing): "Snacks, huh? We'll see about that. You're not tricking me again, baby."
Fang (pouting playfully): "Come on, babe, it's not me-it's *your* baby!"
Tan laughs, shaking his head as he pulls Fang closer for a quick kiss on the forehead.
Tan: "Alright, alright. But only after the healthy stuff."
Fang nods enthusiastically, already bouncing a little with excitement. Tan smiles at the sight, feeling his heart warm at how happy Fang looks.
Tan (gently): "Okay, babe, you go pick out your outfit while I take a shower. We've got a big day ahead."
Fang (grinning): "Got it, love! And don't take too long, or I might come in and rush you."
Tan (laughing): "Yeah, yeah, I'll keep that in mind."
With that, Tan gets up and heads to the bathroom, glancing back to see Fang already rummaging through his wardrobe, talking softly to himself about what to wear. As Tan turns on the water, he can't help but smile to himself. Even with all the ups and downs, this journey with Fang feels like the most meaningful part of his life.
