Archie

It's been a week and Tiger has been checking for her period everyday now. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous... because she hasn't gotten it.

I sigh and sit on the couch to then hear, "Archie!" coming from the bathroom.

I run into the bathroom to see Tiger on the verge of crying. "What's wrong?! Are you okay?!" I ask.

She shakes her head as she looks down. "I got my period"

I drop my jaw and she cries. "Hey... it's gonna be okay" I hug her and she cries in my chest. "Shhh..." I kiss her head. She tugs on my shirt and clench my jaw. "So... you're not pregnant?" I ask.

She wipes her tears. "No... why? How? Why am I not pregnant?" she cries and I clench my jaw harder. "W-What did you do?!" she asks.

I sigh. "Please don't be mad at me" I beg and her bottom lip quivers. "I slipped your birth control in your drink the say after Randy passed. That's why I said not that night because I wanted it to kick in"

She drops her jaw. "So you used me for your pleasure!!!"

I look at her in disgust. "Me?! I did it for your happiness! And my pleasure? You're the one who wants to get pregnant because you don't wanna have your period and just because you want one! Think about me, okay? I strictly told you I don't want another baby"

She grows angry. "You're such a dick! Don't talk to me!" she storms off and I roll my eyes.

Whatever.

I walk out of the bathroom and go in our room to quickly change into my clothes before walking over to Cub. "Do you wanna go with daddy to see grandpa?" I ask and she excitedly nods. "Okay. Go tell mommy, I'll be outside in the car" I kiss her forehead before walking outside.

Minutes later, she's running outside and gets in the car.

So I lied. We're not going to Theos, we're going to the jewelry store so we can both pick out something we both like for Tiger.

It's something I've been thinking about for days, and now that she's mad at me, it kind of pushes me to do this.

I may not have given her another baby, but I can give her a ring that will prove my love for her.

"Get off me" Tiger growls and I back off with my hands up in defeat.

I sigh. "Babe I'm sorr-"

I'm cut off by her hugging me. "No I'm sorry... I'm just so heartbroken over randy that i feel the need to have a baby as if it'll help me. Boy was I wrong. I put you on the spot and I am so sorry, Archie"

I passionately kiss her lips. "It's okay...  I understand. It's a tough time for you. So," I pause "I want to take you and Cub somewhere right now since it's getting dark" I say and she looks at me in confusion. "I'm not killing you" I laugh.

She laughs along. "Okay. Let me just change into another shirt" she says before running to our room.

I walk over to Cub and smile. "You know the plan right?" I ask and she nods with a smile. "Good girl" I kiss her forehead. She smiles and hugs me.

Tiger then walks out of the room in her cute outfit with a smile. "Let's go!" she excitedly says and we walk outside into my car.

I drive us to the park where Tiger and I always hung out when we were lost and sad... it's memorable.

We sit down on the swings and I look at Cub who's looking at me. "So, everything's quiet... no more gangs. They're dead" I look at Tiger.

She nods. "Yea. I'm glad so I can finally have you all day to myself" she smiles.

Cub takes Tigers hand and smiles. "Why not have him all to yourself?!" Cub asks.

Tiger shrugs. "Well he's already mine" she giggles.

I get off the swing and pull the ring box out of my pocket, making Tiger cover her mouth. "But let's make its official. No more boyfriend and girlfriend" I smile and her eyes tear up. I bend down on one knee and she squeals. "Tiger, I love you so much. You made me a better person and never gave up on me like everyone else... you saw the good in me when I could even see it" I say and she gets off the swing. "We had our ups and downs, but in the end we were always there for each other. You gave me a second chance and a fucking daughter! I can't thank you enough for that... Katie Archer, will you marry me?" I ask.

She screams and hugs me. "YES!!" she passionately kisses my lips and I laugh as I slide the ring on her finger.

"YES!!" the guys run out of the bushes, making us laugh.

I look at Tiger to see her crying so I kiss her. "I love you"

"I love you too" she hugs me.

Months pass. Tiger and I are finally married, Cub is still best friends with Rosalie, hell, she won't even talk to anyone besides Rosalie. Pepper is good, the team is good, Oliver is growing on me again and really everything is going amazing right now.

No more gangs after us, though we have fights wo street fighters.

But... that's everything...

Nothing new.

Tiger and I decided to not have anymore kids, we're happy with Cub and Rosalie is basically our child and I'm completely okay with that.

Now all I'm waiting for is Cub's story. I love watching her and Rosalie grow together, it makes me happy.

All I can say is...

I'm always going to be there to protect my daughter through her story. The Archers tend to have bad ones so I'm going to be there with her every step of the way.

Good luck, Cub.
