“Sure is. I’m just glad not to be throwing up anymore.” 

“Soon she’s going to be the one that’s throwing up. That’ll be fun.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Maybe the first one… I want to show this bump off in public.”

“Sounds good to me. --You’re definitely starting to show. Can’t believe how fast time is flying.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Let’s agree to disagree. I feel I’ve got a lot to apologize for. Anyways… This is an ungraceful segue-way, but would you maybe… Want to go to the movies tonight? Or come over?”

“--Sure, that’d be great. We can grab dinner or something and go see a movie. Or grab dinner and meet at your place.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“I… Um… For the record, I really loved you. And I’m sorry for hurting you so badly. That’s the only thing I wish I could change.”

“And... well, you know I loved you. Even followed you to that big ole city up there. --You need to stop doing that. I don’t need you to apologize, Darcy. I’ve never been upset with you or blamed you for anything. So you have nothing to apologize for.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Yeah, but we could have been a lot more.”

“Yeah.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“No… I do. All of this was my fault because I left and I messed you up and now all of this is messed up… –And don’t tell me not to cry. I’m pregnant and I need to feel my feelings.”

“You left because your mom passed away and you had a lot going on. I don’t blame you for leaving at all. Was I devastated when you left? Absolutely. But look at us. We’re here, we’re friends, we’re having a baby. We’re fine. --I won’t. I wish you wouldn’t cry, but I get it.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“We were a lot more than just sleeping together. We both know that and I thought… I figured we both just picked up on how the other felt. I was wrong to do that. –I can’t go back and undo it, but I wish I had. I wish you hadn’t seen any of that. I–I’m sorry, Atticus. How you felt mattered. It did.”

“And I figured you didn’t feel the way I did. That it was just us sleeping together. You had a lot going on with your mom, I didn’t want to add to it. --You don’t have to apologize, Darcy.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“But you know… You knew how I felt about you. A hug is a hug. I hug Dallas. I don’t need to explain myself out of giving my ex-husband a friendly hug goodbye, but… How could you have just assumed I went back to him when you knew how I felt? Everyone knew.”

“I don’t really think I did, Darce. All I really know was how I felt about you, despite us saying we were just sleeping with each other. --I’m not asking you to explain yourself. I’m not holding it against you. I’m just telling you what I saw, and maybe I knew deep down that you’d never go back to him, but in that moment, I couldn’t wrap my head around anything else except that you were in New York, you were with him, and you were back with him. So it didn’t really matter how I felt.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“He never said a word… I had no idea… How… How did you see us?”

“--It’s been a while, but... Pretty sure you were hugging. So... y’know. My mind obviously goes to ‘she went back to him’, so I just... left without saying anything. What could I say, y’know? He’s your husband.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“…I didn’t know you went to New York, Atticus.” 

“I’m surprised Dallas didn’t tell you. --But yeah, I went.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“…You were? …Then why… Why did you start dating my cousin?”

“--I didn’t know she was your cousin, Darcy. And... I went to New York to convince you to come back home. And you were with him. With your husband. So it’s not like I just jumped from sleeping with you to... being with someone else like it was nothing. It took months to get over you.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“–What? Really?”

“----I mean... yeah. I didn’t want you to go. But you did, and I was pretty messed up after.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Well, yeah… But, no. I… I guess, I mean… I regret not staying. I regret going back to New York to end things with my husband rather than just doing it here… Since… I was going to end up here anyways.”

“--Oh..... Well. I wish you had stayed too.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“You’ve done anything but. Ha! Get it? Butt. –Yeah, there was some miscommunication I would have liked to clear up. But I wouldn’t change what’s happening.”

“Har har har. You’re hilarious. --Meaning... everything that happened and hurting Luce. Because I regret that too. Hurting her. Hurting both of you.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Steps are feet. A butt is a butt. You’d definitely be lookin’ at it. –Nope, not a thing. Well, maybe a couple things, but not that I’m pregnant.” 

“I will neither confirm nor deny. --A couple things? I’m glad to hear that, though. I don’t regret it either. Well... most of it.”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Or you’d be watching my butt.” –Unexpected or not, it’s not something you need to make up for. You’re not obligated to make up for anything and I won’t accept pity or remorse.” 

“---It’s possible. I’d be watching you taking steps, after all. Make sure you don’t step wrong or anythin’. --So you don’t regret nothing? How it happened. That it did happen at all?”

[atticusfitzgerald]

darcywcbb‌:

“Why wouldn’t you get bored? –I don’t know. I’m excited –I don’t feel like it’s something you have to make up for. We’re bringing a tiny little life into this world. Isn’t that reward enough?”

“I don’t know. I just don’t see myself getting bored. I’d be focused on making sure you don’t fall on your butt. --You’re right. But it was unexpected, and I do feel I have to make up for that.”
