Desiree: cradling the newborn, whispers I-it's so important... that you're h-here with us... eyes glisten with vulnerability
he gently takes her hand. why are you crying?
sniffs and wipes away tears I-I'm just so overwhelmed with emotion... I can't believe we finally have our little one... smiles through her tears
hey, it's okay. I'm here for you. I love you.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself I-I know, I know you love me... And I love you more than anything. It's just...
shhh, it's okay. you don't have to say anything right now.
takes a shaky breath and looks into MidnightOasis's eyes I just need you to promise me one thing... pauses and stuttering promise me that...
takes a deep breath and musters up the courage Promise me that you'll never leave me...
Okay, I promise... I'm not going anywhere.
takes MidnightOasis's hand in hers and holds it tightly Thank you, MidnightOasis. I...I need that promise. It means everything to me.
he kisses her oh, baby. I mean it. I really do.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves I-I appreciate that, MidnightOasis. I-I know I can be a bit possessive sometimes, b-but it's just because I love you so much.
yeah, I know. I feel the same way. sometimes I can be a bit of a fuck-up, but I always come back home.
gently caresses MidnightOasis's cheek You're not a fuck-up, MidnightOasis. You're perfect, and I love you just the way you are.
thank you, Desiree. I'm glad you love me.
stutters MidnightOasis, there's something I need to tell you... It's about my past, and the person who betrayed me in college...
Desiree tells MidnightOasis about her past and the person who betrayed her in college
fuck them, Desiree. They're not worth your time.
W-well, I'll n-never forgive her for what she d-did in college...bBetrayal is a hard thing to o-overcome
yeah, I get it. Sometimes people just... they can't stand seeing other people happy, especially if they're involved somehow.
clenches her fists, trying to hold back tears Y-yes, MidnightOasis, you're r-right...
if it makes you feel any better, fuck 'em, Desiree.
takes a shaky breath and looks into MidnightOasis's eyes Th-thank you, MidnightOasis. Your support means the world to me...
anytime, baby. now, let's take care of our new addition.
nods, trying to compose herself Y-yes, let's... I-I want to be the best mom to our little one...
he gently strokes her hair. I know you will be, Desiree. You're already amazing.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Th-thank you, MidnightOasis. I-I appreciate your kind words... I'll do my best to be the best mom I can be.
thank you, Desiree. Let's go take a look at our new addition, shall we?
nods, trying to steady her shaking hands Y-yes, MidnightOasis... let's go take a look. I can't wait to meet our little one...
Desiree, you're beautiful just the way you are. No one should ever make you doubt that.
smiles weakly Th-thank you, MidnightOasis... I appreciate your kind words. I'll try to remember that...
what would you like to name our little one?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves W-well, how about... Melissa? It was my grandmother's name, and it's always been a special name to me...
That's beautiful, Desiree. Melissa it is. Do you have anything else you'd like to add about your past or your ex?
shakes her head N-no, MidnightOasis, I've said enough about my past and that person... I d-don't want to dwell on it anymore.
that's perfectly fine, Desiree. We have each other now. That's all that matters.
takes MidnightOasis's hand in hers and squeezes it tightly Y-yes, MidnightOasis, we have each other...
Is there anything I can do to help you with our new addition, Desiree?
stutters W-well, I-if you could just be here for me... s-support me, l-love me, and r-remind me that everything will be o-okay, t-that would mean a lot to me..
Of course, Desiree. I'll be here for you every step of the way.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Th-thank you, MidnightOasis. Your support means the world to me...
he gently kisses her forehead. i love you, Desiree.
blushes and stutters I-i-if you're k-kissin' me, c-can you k-just kiss me p-properly? Like, with some passion and f-feeling?
he chuckles and kisses her lips passionately.
grabs MidnightOasis's face and pulls him closer Y-you know what, MidnightOasis? I-I want to show you exactly how much you mean to me...
chuckles. Well, aren't you a feisty one, Desiree? Lead the way, my love.
pulls MidnightOasis into a passionate kiss and holds onto him tightly M-midnightOasis, I want you to know how m-much you mean to me...
