all too well

-trying his hardest to keep smiling, he nods some, unable to help the small ache in his chest- Yeah, yeah you’re right. An’ Jasper’ll be home and we can all carry on like before, right? Before any o’ this mess even started.. an’ I’ll be a Dad again an’ everythin’ll be okay.

-her free hand comes up to his cheek, thumb stroking briefly along the dimpled skin as a small but true smile appears- ...An' everythin'll be okay. -leaning up, she presses a brief kiss to the other cheek before leaning back completely- Now I better be off, get this one to Hannah before she gets grouchy.

All that's left are ice pops...

-soothingly rubs her back- Sweetie, when people say everything’s going to be fine, they mean in the long run. It hasn’t been enough time for things to be fine or even okay. The wounds still open and you still have the right to hurt until you feel that the wounds ready heal Faye.

Everything is just... It's shit. It's so unbelievably shit. -leaning back slightly, she looks up at the blonde with tears welling in her eyes, a shaky breath escaping her as it does- And it shouldn't be like this anymore.

-his arms feeling unfortunately empty, he retracts his hands back into his pockets, smiling wistfully at the picture of Faye and her daughter. upon her remark, he looks up, almost hopeful- Y’think so?

-she nods, the first genuine smile she's had in weeks showing- Mhmm. Best there was. -moving a little closer- And when he's home, you'll be perfect all over again... So just keep gettin' better, yeah?

-nodding his head, he presses his lips to hers for another brief moment as she pulls back before his small smile sits on his lips, it not reaching his eyes- Three to four, depending on what happens. M’not not too sure of which. But I’ll be back before you know it. Then it just depends on when I get deployed. Though coming back to Kingston will be a little harder now.

-the length of time practically sounding like a lifetime, she just sighs gently, resting her forehead against, hands hooking around the back of his neck as she pulls him close- Well then.. We're just gonna have to make the next couple o'days count, yeah?

I’d like that, y’know, but y’should take her back before I go all Rumpelstiltskin on ya’ and take her away for good. -chuckling softly, he smiles down at Lizzie briefly before holding the baby out back toward her mother-

We'd just tell the cops she was on a mini-holiday. -reluctant to pull her away, she accepts the baby girl anyway, smiling as one of her small hands begins playing with Faye's hair. after a long moment of silence, she looks back up at Shaun- ...You're a great Dad, y'know.

All that's left are ice pops...

-frowns upon hearing the other girls name. steps closer and wraps her arms around Faye- I know Faye. You probably miss her more than anyone here.

#i apologise for this. she just lubbs trina and she's the only one she feels she can talk to about mia. <3

-holding her tightly in turn, she feels her breath coming slightly quicker- Everyone they just.. They say everything's going to be fine, but I d-don't see how. How could anything be fine when someone can be here one minute and just gone the next..? It's not fine.

-glancing up at her suddenly, he realizes how long he’s been holding her and chuckles embarrassed, a sheepish grin on his face- I keep forgettin’ I have t’ give this one back too. Sorry.
