Switched: The Complete Series

Chapter Thirty-One- Big Spoon

~~Reeva's point of view~~

It's been a week since Brian moved in; I've seen Betty three times. She is helping. I don't need her to know what I need to do. It's one am. It's Saturday. I have work in the morning, but I don't care. I quietly make my way to Brian's room. As I go to knock, he opens the door.

Brian: "Reeva?"

Reeva: "I need to talk to you."

Brian: "I was just coming to you."

Reeva: "Well, then."

He steps back and lets me in.

Reeva: "What were you coming to me for?"

Brian: "I just wanted to talk."

Reeva: "About?"

Brian: "Fine. I wanted to snuggle."

Reeva: "Really?"

Brian: "Yes."

Reeva: "Well, let's snuggle while I talk."

Brian: "Works for me."

In the week he's been here, we've had a weird relationship. We don't speak while others are around, but we manage to find each other's rooms for a few hours at night. All that happens is snuggling. That may not happen anymore after tonight.

Brian: "Big spoon!"

Reeva: "You're always the big spoon."

Brian: "That's a good thing Blue."

He calls me Blue because of my eyes. They're a rare dark blue. They almost look brown, but they're not. We get into our positions. I feel him kiss the back of my head.

Brian: "What did you want to talk about?"

I'm nervous. This could end the relationship that I do have with him.

Reeva: "Please hear me out. Listen before you make a decision."

Brian: "That sounds ominous, Blue."

Reeva: "I want to have a baby........ with you." 

~~Brian's point of view~~

Did she just say what I think she did?

Brian: "Repeat that..."

Reeva: "I want to have a baby. I want to have a baby with you."

Brian: "Reeva... if you want to talk about this, I want you to look at me."

She turns to look at me.

Brian: "Why me?"

Reeva: "Because we both need something good to happen."

Brian: "And you think a baby would do that?"

Reeva: "I know it would. You can't tell me that when you're around one of those babies or Axel's girls, your heart doesn't do flip flops."

Brian: "I won't disagree with that. I still don't know how that would help us."

Reeva: "It's definitely what I need. I think it would help you too."
