Witch Hunt || Stucky ✔

XIII - It's Just A Matter Of Time

A month has past since Steve and James had confessed their feelings to each other, and so far they've managed to hide it from the girls and everyone else in this small town Steve calls his home. Though, the two if then are beginning to think that the girls may suspect that something might be going on.

Though, both Steve and James have talked it through, and they've decided that they both want to tell the girls about them. They don't really want to keep this hidden from the girls for much longer anyway. They just hope that Elizabeth and Grace will be okay with it.

Now how they're going to tell the girls, they aren't entirely sure, but Steve had suggested that they all go out horse riding as a family. James had agreed on the idea, saying that his horse, Agatha, would enjoy going out for a ride. She hasn't really been off the property all that much, so going out for a ride is sure to do her some good.

So, just as soon as both the girls wake up, they'll have something to eat, and then get the horse's ready so they can go out for a horse ride.

They're not sure where exactly they'll be riding to, but they know that they'll try and have a good time together. Steve is sure they will anyway. At least, a good time until he and James tell the girls about them...

He doesn't want to think about what his daughters may possibly say about him and James being together just yet though. He doesn't want to think about it until it's time to tell them. He just hopes that they'll be okay about it.

"Do you think your daughters will be okay with us?" James asks, catching Steve's attention. "I mean, they don't exactly like me all that much." He points out.

Steve sighs, shaking his head. "I really don't know." He shrugs. "I don't really think they're both still quite over their mother's death." He says. "Though, I don't blame them. I still miss Peggy a lot, but she's gone now, and she'd want me to move on. Not sure what she'd think of me moving on with another guy though."

James nods. "Well. let's just hope they'll be okay with it." He says, trying to convince himself that everything will be fine for now, and they're both just being paranoid.

Though, James knows for a fact that once Steve finds out that he's a witch, that things won't be fine then. At all. Steve is sure to do something about it once he finds out that James is a witch.

"All we can do is hope." Steve sighs, sitting back on the sofa, while James move closer to him a little and rests his head on Steve's shoulder as Steve wraps an arm around his waist. "All we can do is wait and see until later on when we tell them."

James nods, as he just sits back with Steve on the sofa. The two of them dreading what is to come, but it's something that they have to tell the girls. No matter what their reaction is...

******

Not too long after, Elizabeth and Grace had woken up, and Steve and James had filled them in on the plan for the day. And it's safe to say that they were both up for going for a horse ride. Especially Grace.

Elizabeth on the other hand, even though she seems excited, James suspects that she's got some suspicions on why exactly they're suddenly going out for a horse ride today. James supposes that s has every right to be suspicious, seeing as they're not just going out to ride the horse's.

He and Steve have decided to tell her and Grace about them, and they're both worried about what Elizabeth and Grace's reaction will be. James is trying to convince himself that it'll all be okay in the end, but he rather doubts it.

Steve though, even though he too is worried about what'll happen next, he's not as worried as James is. He has a little hope that his daughters will be fine with this, but the fact that they don't exactly trust James still, is making him doubt that they're reaction will be okay towards this.
