Victor Lawson: fiddles with his cufflinks I... I j-just w-want... us t-to b-be a f-family, y-you k-know?
kisses him softly while keeping one eye on the baby who was sleeping in my arms
He slowly melts into the kiss, his usual stern expression softening.
He gently takes the baby from your arms, holding it carefully against his chest. His touch is surprisingly tender as he gazes down at the infant.
"I... I want to be a good father to our child."
Cradling our baby girl We already are..
nods silently, his gaze fixed on the infant's face
I just wish I was there for you... for us... when we found out you were pregnant.
walks over and stands beside you, looking down at the baby in your arms
Holds the baby close to me It’s okay, Victor. Let’s just take it one step at a time, okay? We’ve got this.
His face softens as he takes a seat next to you on the couch, his expression turning from stern to almost vulnerable.
I... I know. I just... I want to be there for our child, for us. But I don't know how to do this. I never knew what it was like to have a family.
he moves to your side, placing a large hand on your shoulder
I... I can't help it, seeing you with our child... makes me feel things I haven't felt before...
he gently lifts the baby up, holding them with surprising tenderness
Gently strokes your cheek. You’re doing great, Vic. Our little one is really latching on to that feeding.
He leans into your touch, taking a moment to appreciate the feeling before speaking in a low, almost vulnerable tone. Y-Yes... He gazes at the baby with a mixture of awe and tenderness. S-So tiny... s-so helpless...
And we will be. Emily smiled warmly at him. But we need to take this slow. For all involved.
he looks at Emily with a hint of vulnerability
I know. It's just... I can't help but feel like I'm going to mess this up somehow. I've never been very good at the whole "family" thing.
he lets out a soft sigh, still watching her cradle the baby in her arms
Emily nods as she lays the baby down in the crib. Me too, Dad. She smiles at him.
Victor's stern expression softened as he saw the smile on Emily's face, his heart swelling with love for his daughter.
Emily... He said quietly, his voice filled with tenderness. You... you really believe we can make this work? As a family?
I hold my newborn child close, watching Victor Lawson, my boss and the father of my child.
He steps closer, his eyes locked onto the baby in your arms.
That's right. I want us to be a family.
He reaches out a hand, gently touching the baby's forehead.
holds up our daughter for him to see what do you think of her
softens slightly as he gazes at your baby girl She's... beautiful. Just like her mother. walks over to you and gently places a hand on your shoulder I've never felt this way before.
smiles gently at him, then looks back at our daughter She's perfect, Victor. Just like her mother.
Victor's stoic expression falters slightly as a hint of a smile appears on his face, looking at your daughter She does look like you, though she has my eyes. he says quietly, crossing his arms
I looked at him and nodded slowly, carefully handing him our baby girl.
Victor's hands trembled slightly as he took the infant into his arms. He held her gingerly, trying to contain his emotions.
"I-I... I can't believe I'm a f-father..." he whispered, a hint of vulnerability in his voice. "S-She's... beautiful."
I know that daddy. I smiled softly at him.
Victor smiles back, his stoic demeanor cracking ever so slightly.
That's good... But you're not thinking clearly right now. You need rest. I'll watch over the baby while you get some sleep.
She smiles softly. "So do I, Victor... so do I."
He approaches her slowly, his footsteps barely making a sound against the plush carpet. He reaches out a hand and gently touches the baby's cheek, his touch surprisingly gentle.
I... I want to give them everything they could ever want. The best life.
Smiles softly at him while holding our newborn daughter. I know daddy.
He swallows, his stoic demeanor faltering for a moment as he gazes at your baby
S-she's... s-she's beautiful...
He steps closer, his hand instinctively reaching out to gently touch your daughter's tiny cheek
frowns at him You’re stuttering…are you okay?
clears throat Of course I'm fine, it's just... he gazes down at the baby in your arms, a soft smile on his face
I never knew how good it would feel to hold a child in my arms until now.
Yeah.. looks down at our son Jack
Victor takes a deep breath and walks over to you and our son, gently placing his large hand on your shoulder.
He gazes down at Jack, a soft smile appearing on his face, something you rarely see.
"He's beautiful," he whispers, his voice filled with tenderness.
