Start of a Family (Tom Holland Pregnancy Series)

Doubts

Two days have passed since the appointment and Tom has been a bit distant. Well he has been working later but he also hasn't talked to me.

"Tom? Are you ok?" I ask sitting up in bed. Tom has been blankly staring at the ceiling.

"I'm alright (y/n)." He whispers. He rarely calls me by my name. I know something is up.

"You can talk to me. You know I'm not just marrying you because you are pretty. I want to know everything that goes on in your mind." I say leaning on his shoulder.

"I'm just worried. I guess that's a way I could describe it." He sighs, running a lazy hand through his hair.

"What about? Because we will get through it together. I promise that." I look up at him, just to see him facing away from me. I grab his hand and give it a reassuring squeeze.

"I'm worried I'm not going to be a good dad. My work has me going so many places. I just want to be present for it all." He says after a few minutes of silence.

"Tom. You will be an absolutely amazing father. Because when you love something you put your entire self into it. Not trying to imply anything." I say laughing at my own joke. Tom chuckles at it too.

"I'm serious. You will be the best that you can be. You shouldn't measure yourself against anyone else because they aren't you. So you will be a good dad, because you are you." I look at him and see his sparking eyes meeting mine.

"You know just how to make my worries disappear." He says kissing me.

"To be honest I'm nervous too. I'm an only child and have had no experience with children. I'm scared I'm going to do things wrong and end up ruining this child's life." I confess.

"You have such a beautiful heart that you couldn't ruin anyone's life even if you try. You will be the perfect mother to our child. You can teach them the lessons they will keep with them forever." Tom says reassuring me.

"Maybe we should take lessons on how to care for a child. As neither of us know a lot." I suggest.

"Definitely. Now let's go to bed. I have work early tomorrow." Tom says pulling me down onto the bed and holding me extremely close, his arms wrapped around my stomach.

"I love you Tom." I say before I fall asleep.
