SHE LEANS CLOSE TO KISS HIM. She cupped the side of his face. “I’m glad to hear that.” She was so stupidly in love with him, his smile was always the best part of her day. “But, all I want, though, is you.”

[bclovcdmothcr]

SHE LAUGHED, HOLDING HER HAND AGAINST HER MOUTH TO MUFFLE HER LITTLE GIGGLES. “I don’t think that’s how it works, dear. I’m not opposed to that, though.” Chessa grabbed onto her shirt to take it off. Afterward, she leaned forward, resting her arms against her legs. “You’re still on board with this, right?” She asked, just to be safe.

[bclovcdmothcr]

SHE ROLLED HER EYES. “Hey, keep in mind you’re in the same department as them, honey.” She joked. She gently stroked his head, turning her own head to see to open the bedroom door. “If you were a nerd though, you’d be the hottest one I’ve met. Maybe the hottest ever.” She paused for a solid minute or two. “You’re not burning anything down if that’s your plan by the way.”

[bclovcdmothcr]

SHE JUMPED A BIT AT THE FEELING OF THE VIBRATION. “Clearly they don’t know what it’s like to spend time with someone who loves them.” She snorted, wrapping her arms around his neck in order to make sure she wasn’t dropped. “But that’s not our focus here. You’re my focus.” She tacked on the last sentence about half a minute later.

[bclovcdmothcr]

“I DON’T.” She mumbled. She definitely didn’t want him to stop. Not now, probably not ever. It felt nice to have him so close again. “I love you so much.” She added, resting her hands on the back of his head while he kissed her neck.

[bclovcdmothcr]

SHE LAUGHED SOFTLY AT THE WORDS. “You were the hottest, and the last, no worries there, sweetheart.”

SHE LISTENED TO HIM SPEAK ATTENTIVELY. Her hands rested on his chest now, as she looked up to meet his eyes. She thought for only a second before speaking up. “Hm... Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if we got started.” Chessa let out a small gasp at the neck kiss. She actually forgot how sensitive it was. “Jack...”  She breathed out the word as if it was all she knew how to say.

[bclovcdmothcr]

“MOM... Mom tends to embarrass me in front of every hot guy I bring home. You were the first she asked that though, so I’d say that’s a good sign.”

SHE NODDED. “That’s all I’m saying. I do want us to settle down a little more, but it’s still important to have these kinds of conversations. And for the record, I think you’d make a wonderful father.” She gave him another kiss. 

“AND, THANK YOU. For coming home early. I missed you. If I didn’t have to worry about us keeping both of our jobs, I’d give Tassiter a piece of my mind. You can’t keep working overtime every night. Because then, your sleep schedule is a mess, and we’re barely awake at the same time.” Chessa shifted her weight on her right side. “And pardon my language, but that guy is an asshole.” She rarely swore, so hearing the tiny woman frustratedly say any curse was honestly amusing. 

[bclovcdmothcr]

SHE COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT. Her face goes red as she remembers that day. Oh no. “Shit, that’s right, she did. I forgot about that. I was so embarrassed. And a little mad at her for even asking that.” She nervously messes with her wedding band. 

“YEAH. That’s... That’s kind of what my mother and I were talking about. I’m content if we don’t have any kids, but it would be nice. Someone who had the best traits of both of us.”

SHE SMILED A BIT. “But, just having you makes me just as happy.”

[bclovcdmothcr]

CHESSA GOT UP FROM THE COUCH, WRAPPING HER ARMS AROUND HIS NECK, KISSING HIS CHEEK. “Welcome home, honey.” She said softly. 

“SO... about the conversation with my mother... She’s wondering when she’s going to get grandchildren. I kept telling her ‘Jack and I aren’t ready yet,’ but she’s still being insistent. If she wants grandkids she should bother my siblings.” She sighed, “But I did want to maybe consider having a kid. Once we get things straightened out, I mean.” 

SHE PAUSED. “We can talk about this after dinner, though, if you want. I just wanted to clear the air, know if you want kids, things like that, you know?”

@thehandsomeasshole from here

CHESSA LOOKED AT THE TEXT, SMILING TO HERSELF. She responded quickly.

[ only if you want to, dear. it’d be nice to see my husband again, if you haven’t turned into a sentient pile of paperwork by this point lol ]

SHE SAT HER PHONE ON THE COFFEE TABLE. Dinner was already cooking, so she didn’t have to do anything since it was chili in the slow-cooker, and she didn’t really want to move right now. She grabbed her phone again after remembering something.

[ also we should talk a little. got a call from my mother earlier this morning. nothing major, just feels like smth to talk to you about, you know? XOXO see you when you get home ]

Jack: This date is boring

Chessa: This isn’t a date. I told you I was going to the store

Jack: Then why did you invite me?

Chessa: I specifically said “don’t come with me, John” and you said “fuck you, I can do whatever I want” and followed me here

Jack: You know why crabs never give to charity, babe?

Chessa, who's heard this 50 times but loves her husband: No. Why, John?

Jack: [genuinely cracking up] Because they're shellfish!
