               *Will*

Tessa is sleeping, leaning on my shoulder, I wrap a blanket around her, she smiles and cuddles against me, I wrap my arm around her. Jem comes in.

"Hey." I whisper.

"Hey." Something seems off about him, and it worries me.

"Okay, seriously, what's wrong? You've been sad since yesterday, what's the deal?"

"Nothing is wrong."

"Bullshit, tell me."

"No, nothing is wrong."

"Tell me or I'll get off this couch and lick your ear."
"You wouldn't."

"Try me. Now, are you going to tell me?"

"FINE!! It's just... yesterday when you told me Tessa was pregnant, you said you would have a family. I just.... I had always thought that you looked at me as family..."

"Oh James,, I do, you're like a brother to me..Please never forget that. No matter how many children Tessa has, you'll always be the first person that I saw as family."

"Really?"

"Yes, a family is a support system, a shoulder to cry on. That's you. You mean so much to me."

"So do you..."

"See, so of course I see you as family,  I always have and I always will, no matter what." He hugs me. I hug him back. "I'm always going to be here."

"Me too."

When I wake up, Will is reading a book.

"Did you have a nice nap?"

"Yes." He smiles and kisses me.

"Good." I kiss him back.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more than anything in this world, and I love our baby more than anything in this world."

"We both love you."

"I'm so happy to be starting a family with you."

"Me too, I already love our little family."

"So do I."
