His own tears threaten to fall, and one eventually does, then another. They come slowly, then all at once and Jaymes doesn’t know what to do. He’s not used to crying, especially not in front of someone. He ignores his feelings, fighting against them so he can wrap his arms around Emmeline.
“Do you want to know what I know?” His voice is barely above a whisper, but at this point he had stopped crying, instead focusing on Emmie and making sure the two of them were okay. “I know that it is going to be okay, because you are like Bella in some ways, and one of them is that you’re strong. Self control is learnt, even I struggle Emmie, you’ve seen that first hand.” Cold hands move to cup the brunette’s face, staring deeply into her eyes before pressing his lips to hers to stop her rambling. “–None of that will happen, the baby..our baby, our child will love you and I will never get tired of you, Emmie, you are more than I deserve and more that I could ever want.”
she’s trembling , petite form unsteady in his arms . even so , despite feeling as though one strong gust of wind off the sea will be enough to sweep her away , despite the sharp ache in her chest at the sight of tears upon his cheeks , she allows herself to remain . doe like , dark hues focus upon him , fair features contorted in melancholy . and despite her seemingly innate , ever present desire to argue , she doesn’t . she gazes , and listens , and wills herself to believe him . she wants to . more than anything , she wants to believe in him .
❝ forever is a long time . ❞ little more than a whisper , uttered against other’s lips . even so , she seems calmer , if only a touch . panic subsides slowly , leaving a weariness in its place . such is evident , given the way she comes to rest against him , petite form steadied against broader . she lays head tiredly upon shoulder , exhales a trembling breath against neck . ❝ —— is this really what you want ? ❞ because if it is , well ... if anyone can convince her to face such uncertainty as this , it was him .
