Approaching tentatively, voice barely above a whisper I-I've been looking for you... it's important.
I look at her. You're looking for me?
Nervously tugging at her sleeve, speaking in hushed tones Y-Yes, I... I need to talk to you. It's about... us. And the baby.
Fidgeting with her hands, voice trembling Th-thank you... I just... I need to know... what do you think about... about our future together?
I look down at my feet and sigh. Look, I don't want to have this conversation right now.
Steps closer, pleadingly P-Please, just hear me out. I understand if you're not ready for a commitment, but we need to talk about this.
I run my hand through my hair. Alright then. Let's talk about it.
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself O-Okay... th-thank you. She pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts
Clutching her belly, stammering We-we need to talk about... you know, the future, for the baby.
I look at her. Yeah, we do.
Gesturing animatedly, speaking quickly I mean, what kind of life will our child have if we don't plan anything? We can't just... leave them alone, right?
<Maeve and DragonflyWhirlwind spend hours discussing their future together and making plans for the baby's well-being.>
I put my arm around her shoulder. I'm sorry for brushing you off earlier. I didn't realize how important this was to you.
Smiles softly, tears glistening in her eyes It's... it's okay. I understand that you had your reasons. But I'm glad we could talk.
I hug her tightly. I'm glad we did too.
Sniffles, wiping away her tears Th-thank you, DragonflyWhirlwind. I... I really needed this conversation.
I kiss the top of her head. So did I.
<Maeve and DragonflyWhirlwind decide to move in together and start building a life for themselves and their unborn child>
I hold her close. I love you, Maeve.
Buries her face in DragonflyWhirlwind's chest, voice filled with emotion I love you too, DragonflyWhirlwind. So much.
I wrap my arms around her. I'm glad we're doing this together.
Looking up at DragonflyWhirlwind with hopeful eyes Me too... me too. She takes a deep breath, mustering her courage D-Do you...
Stuttering nervously D-Do you... d-do you want to get married? Like, officially?
Excitedly grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's hand Oh my god! Really? That's amazing!
<Maeve and DragonflyWhirlwind plan an intimate wedding surrounded by their closest friends and family>
