NOTE: I know I haven't posted in a while and I'm sorry. Life's been crazy in good and bad ways. But here I am with a (short, I know) new chapter. I hope you guys like it.
PS: realistically speaking, I'm gonna take a while to update chapters. Sorry 😢
I hope you guys stick with the story.
Thank you.
It was the morning of Christmas Eve and you had been discharged from the hospital 2 weeks ago with a warning from the doctor to take it easy. And Mac was taking that a little too much to heart. Helping sit and stand up, making you healthy food and even cutting the green tea off of your diet, something about it having too much caffeine.
That was when you decided to sit him down for a conversation.
"Mac, babe? We need to talk" you forced a smile at him.
"Okay. That doesn't sound good" he says as he comes to sit next to you on the couch
"It's not like that. We just need to talk about your behavior over the last few weeks. Specifically since we left the hospital" he stares at you with a confused look.
"Okay..."
"Look, babe. Don't you think you've been a little... overprotective lately?"
"Overprotective? No, I don't think so" he answers
"You wouldn't let me go Christmas shopping. I had to do it all online"
"Well, that was one thing-"
"And when we were at the grocery store and I said I had to pee, you said ' I'll help you ' " you interrupted him.
"Okay, okay. Maybe I've been a little too careful lately, but that's only because I'm scared. I'm always terrified of something happening to you or our baby"
"Okay, remember what we talked about? You being the quiet to my storm?"
He nodded
"Yeah, I don't think that's working anymore. We need to support each other through this. I'm scared too, but I know that freaking out about every detail isn't going to help anyone. Especially our baby."
He sighs
"Okay, yeah. You're right" he says
"Yeah, I know" both of you smile
And at that moment something happens and Mac notices it immediately because your smile breaks and you put your hands on your belly.
Mac is starting to freak out when you smile again and reach for his hand. You put his hand over your belly and a few seconds later you both feel it.
That kick.
That little flutter.
It drives the both of you to smile until your face hurts. You look at Mac and he finally looks back at you.
"We'll be okay" you finally break the silence.
"Yeah, we'll be okay"
