all I have in my mind is Jake and Amy telling each other the events of the day at home like "and I ran into Teddy" "really? how many times did he propose?" "Only one" "oh, good for him"
any headcanons after that episode? i always love hearing ur thoughts
head canon/prompt: Jake n Amy pillow talk post ep!!!!
that night amy’s night time routine takes a little bit longer than usual i.e. showering away the sweat from her in-flux hormones raising her body temperature - and from the sweet, soft sex that had occurred when the teary kisses shared with her husband had fuelled an instinctive need to be closer to each other - turns into ten minutes of standing under the hot water and simply marvelling at her naked body, holding her hand against her stomach and wondering if this is real life.
when she enters their bedroom again jake’s sitting up in bed but he’s not playing mario party on his switch (as has been his latest habit since The Amy Way was put to rest), he’s on his phone scrolling through pregnancy symptoms
as she climbs into bed she jokingly thanks him for putting up with her gross sweating lately and apologises in advance for her mood swings
jake just smiles with all the love in the world and tells her that a) the sweating at least makes a change from her touching his legs during the night with ice pack toes b) she never ever should apologise to him for what her body’s going through. he reminds her that they’re in this together and he wants to help her/make things as easy as possible
he puts his phone on charge and they snuggle under their quilt together, jake immediately reaching out for his wife and holding her close so they’re face to face.
“crazy day, huh?” he says and it’s the understatement of the entire century. there have been many life-altering nights throughout their relationship - the first time they slept together, the night before jake was sentenced to 15 years, their wedding night - but still tonight seems extra special and momentous. they’ve both - but especially amy - have dreamed of this for so long that it still seems beyond surreal, like they’re going to wake up any second….jake presses his hand to her stomach again and marvels “there’s a baby in there” and amy holds his hand to keep it there and all she can say is “yeah”
and all of a sudden they’re kissing each other again softly, slowly, smiling against each other’s lips….before jake pulls away and grins, which tells amy that he’s been wanting to ask this question all evening: “so where and when do you think we conceived?”
amy tells him that based on when she started taking hormones and when her last period was she thinks she’s maybe 3 weeks along (but she’s going to call her doctor the minute the practice opens in the morning to book an appointment) sooooo maybe it was on the couch after he took her out for dinner to bouche manger? or the evening when she came home with a new switch game for him and he immediately jumped her? or the lazy sunday morning in bed when it was raining really heavily and they decided that their only plans for the day were to have sex and bake cookies?
whenever it was - they both giggle recalling all the lovin’ they’ve shared n enjoyed the past month, and they’re both secretly grateful that in the end this baby didn’t come from a time that felt forced or lacked passion…it was all love love love
amy informs her husband that in the morning after she’s called the doctor they’re going to go binder shopping for the all-important pregnancy lever arch file & jake suggests that they should go out for breakfast/brunch too to celebrate and make a whole day out of it…and amy wonders for the billionth trillionth time that day how she ever got so lucky to fall in love with her best friend and as far as she’s concerned the best man on the planet
“i love you,” she presses another kiss to his lips.
“I love you so much,” he murmurs, “you’re - this-” he caresses her stomach again, “is the best thing to ever happen to me. you’re everything to me, ames”
and just like that there are tears in amy’s eyes again. “i wouldn’t want to do this with anyone but you, babe.” she smiles. “looks like the universe is finally on our side, huh?”
“we kicked the universe’s butt for realz. we’re having a baby”
y’all know about the AO3 search hack for only getting fics with a single pairing listed, right? Just click on the pairing tag you want, and then filter and put “otp:true” in the ‘search within results’ box and BAM. Nothing but fics with that one pairing. Heaven.
#this speaks to so much more than just the romantic part of their relationship#she didn’t want someone to make out with or someone to cuddle with#she just wanted to talk#to someone who both understands the situation and who understands /her/#someone who’s seen her neurotic and her obsessive and her just-a-little-bit-crazy#someone who knows how to talk her off the ledge#someone who has seen the absolute worst - the most unlovable - parts of her#and is still around#she wasn’t looking for a boyfriend when she went to jake’s apartment#she was looking for her best friend#and that makes me cry on the regular (via @elsaclack)
What if Jake and Amy did have sex at the end of their “date” in The Bet and started a “friends with benefits” kind of relationship afterwards?
Thank you @amez-santiago for making me discover the song that 100% inspired me to finish this + @kamekamelea and @exploding-snapple for your precious help ♥ Hopefully the whole story will make sense haha!
