Pausing, she mentally takes note of where his hands are, mentally sighing before sitting back on his lap without a word. x.com/dulledclaws/st…

Draping her arms behind his shoulders, the Director shook her head. "You wanted me to stay. Here I am." He'd never understand. x.com/dulledclaws/st…

She doesn't wanna say it, mostly because it /sounds/ weird to her, but he's not giving her much of a choice. Sighing, she looks away for a + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ moment, then fixes her gaze back on her fiancé. "...Pregnancy lasts about 36 weeks. I'm 10 weeks, Logan, and you've barely even + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ acknowledged it. It almost seems like you're avoiding it, actually." 'It' being her bump. x.com/dulledclaws/st…

Hearing that, Callie just /stared/ at him in silence for a few seconds, then she actually scoffed. "Wow. You aren't even gonna try + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ to do things differently, are you?" Standing up again, Callie started for the door. She was /done/ trying to talk to him...for now. x.com/dulledclaws/st…

"I don't want you to /say/ anything!" Stopping, Callie takes a deep breath, looking up at him, and she's much calmer when she + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ speaks again. "...You never were much for talking about these things, which is part of why I love you, but--you can't avoid this + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ forever, babe." Reaching down, Cal grabs his hands and holds them in front of her stomach, but not touching. "...'Cause you have + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ /no/ idea how terrified I am..." x.com/dulledclaws/st…

Logan knew almost nothing about her father, and absolutely nothing about her mother. There was a reason for that, though, and it was the + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ same reason she was so scared. This wasn't the time for that conversation, though, so she just takes a deep breath, gripping his hands. + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ "You won't lose me...or them. I just...I /can't/ do this without you, and so far, it almost feels like I am..." x.com/dulledclaws/st…

Listening to him, Callie looked away, literally biting her tongue as he started to make excuses again. She was about ready to just walk + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ away again, but when he said /that/, she stopped, a small smile tugging at her lips as she let his hands go. "...Of course.." x.com/dulledclaws/st…

Watching him carefully, just to judge his reaction, Callie can't help but smile as she feels his hand on her stomach. Her bump isn't + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ exactly HUGE, but his hand still makes her bump feel larger than it is. Staying silent, she reaches up to set a hand on the side + x.com/dulledclaws/st…

+ of his neck, pressing up on her toes to lay her forehead on his. She rests her other hand below his, too, just looking at him. x.com/dulledclaws/st…

With The Wolverine. in town with Sally, she takes this chance to try and find what he's been reading. She /knows/ it's not what she found...
