Sighs heavily, cradling her belly You remember him, right?
Stranger
yes
Gazes down at her belly, tears welling up in her eyes It's hard to believe he's gone... sniffles
Stranger
how long has he been gone?
Pauses, wiping away tears It's been three years since he passed away. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, you know?
Stranger
what happened?
Takes a deep breath It was a car accident... He was driving home from work, and... voice cracks he didn't make it. The impact was too severe.
Stranger
do u want me to leave you alone so you can grieve?
Shakes her head, sniffles No, I don't want to be alone right now. It's hard enough already. Sighs heavily
Stranger
ok....I'll stay
Takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Thank you, it means a lot to me. Looks around, determined
Stranger
I'm here for you
Nods, sniffles I know... It's just... sometimes it feels overwhelming, you know? Like everything is falling on my shoulders.
Stranger
yea I understand
Takes a deep breath I need your help, Stranger. I need someone to lean on right now, someone who understands me. Bites her lip
Stranger
oh yea? what is it
<Deja leans in and kisses Stranger passionately, seeking comfort and an escape from her grief>
Stranger
surprised but comforts her
Sighs deeply, leaning into Stranger I've missed this... I've missed you. Her hands roam over his body
Stranger
me too....I've missed you..kisses her back passionately cupping her face lovingly
Pulls away from the kiss, breathing heavily How did we lose our way, Stranger? We used to be so close... her voice trails off, filled with longing
Stranger
I thought being a father took away from us
Throws her arms around Stranger, hugging him tightly Being a father didn't have to come between us! We could have found a way to make it work!
Stranger
then let's fix that....so how's the little one doing?
Pulls away from the hug, wiping away tears He's...he's doing okay, I guess. But it's hard, Stranger.
Stranger
let me be there for you both
Sighs heavily, looking into Stranger's eyes I want you to be there for me, Stranger. But it's not just about me anymore, you know?
Stranger
I'm sorry what do u mean?
Takes a deep breath I mean, I have responsibilities now. A baby on the way, a toddler at home... I can't just drop everything and run away.
Stranger
neither can I.....I miss you and wish things could've been different.....I wish he was still here tho
Tears well up in her eyes, whispers I wish he was still here too... She takes a moment to compose herself
Stranger
It's okay to cry, Deja. Let it out. I'm here for you.
Sniffles, wipes away her tears Thank you, Stranger. Your words mean a lot to me. But I need more than just words right now.
Stranger
then what do you need?
Leans in closer, her voice trembling I need you to show me that you're serious, Stranger. Show me that you're willing to step up and be there for me.
Stranger
show me how please
<Deja and Stranger embark on a passionate night of intimacy, rekindling their relationship and reaffirming their commitment to each other.>
Stranger
holds her tight after they finished making love
Catches her breath, her voice filled with emotion Stranger... that was... amazing. Rests her head against his chest I needed that so badly.
Stranger
glad to hear that loveI kiss her forehead
Takes a deep breath Stranger, let's not waste any more time. I need you by my side, now. Grabs his hand and pulls him towards the door
Stranger
where we going?
Excitedly We're going to start planning for our future, Stranger. No more waiting, no more hesitation.
