Hi!!! i'm going on a semi-hiatus for a little while so i'll still be around, just not as much. i'll still be putting out fics every so often and answering the asks i've gotten and such but i'll be busy for a while!!
just wanted to put this out so no one worries or whatever :)
baby daddy!pope whoâs super protective of his kid. he doesnât let his brothers hold your guysâ baby for too long, taking him back after a couple of minutes with a gruff âalright, thatâs enough,â leaving craig and deran sharing a look.
baby daddy!pope whoâs always the first one to wake up (and heâs glad he is because you do so much already) whenever your babyâs crying and fussing during the night. heâll walk over to his crib and carefully pick him up, rubbing and patting his back gently as he tries to soothe him back to sleep. if itâs not working, heâll carry him downstairs and make him a bottle of formula with his free hand while perfectly balancing your son with the other.
baby daddy!pope whoâs always keeping an eye on your little one even when heâs in the midst of a conversation. if he sees him crawling towards an unsafe place, heâll walk away from the person who was speaking to him- without so much as a word, to go pick him up.
baby daddy!pope who insists on feeding his baby each time because watching them trying to feed themselves is too much for popeâs ocd as theyâre getting more mushy peas on their face than in their actual mouth.
baby daddy!pope who often just watches his baby sleep with a mixture of adoration and disbelief that something so pure and innocent was half a product of what he did.
baby daddy!pope who definitely cried the first time he ever held his son.
A/N: No one look at me I'm sweating my ass off wishing it was colder and here we are just a little blurb about taking Popey to the Midwest
~18+ MDNI please~
"Andrew, I don't think you're gonna need all that," you smile, leaning your shoulder against the doorframe of the bathroom.
Pope has his clothes laid out on the hotel bed. A thick coat, gloves, a scarf, and he's even considering those hand warming packets to stick in his pockets, all on top of the thick hoodie he's already wearing.
"Are you kidding me? I saw my breath on the way in," he glances back at you.
You walk up behind him and slide your hands around his midsection, pressing a kiss to his shoulder.
You thought it would be fun to bring Pope back to your hometown for a visit. Show him where you grew up, let him experience the magic of a Midwest winter. But Pope was not built for this. He's being a trooper, strong and stoic as usual, but you can tell he's missing the California sun.
"Don't worry, baby," you say, your lips still pressed into the material of his hoodie, "I'll keep you warm."
"D'you know that skin to skin contact is best for transferring body heat?" he says, tugging on your arm.
You round in front of him, sliding your hands into the pocket of his hoodie. "Yeah?" you raise an eyebrow.
Pope plays with the zipper of your jacket, tugging on it gently. Not enough to drag it down, but enough to imply as much. You wrap your hand around his, gently lowering the zipper down, down, down, until your jacket falls open.
âThis weather has you wearing too many clothes,â he mumbles.
âDo something about it,â you say, spurring him further.
And while it's 38 degrees outside with a 25 degree windchill, you're inside, hot and sweaty, with Pope pressed completely against you from behind. He has one hand in a bruising grip on your hip, and the other reaching around between your legs, his dick sliding in and out like it's his job.
Pope buries his face in the crook of your neck, breath hot and kisses wet. You're completely surrounded by him, his voice, his touch, and every gruff, bitten off noise in your ear makes your heart race and your core heat up even more.
You reach behind you, gently scratching at his scalp to bring his face closer.
"See? S'not so bad," you say, breathy and blissful.
Pope pistons his hips inside you a few more times before finding release, your bodies pressed completely together as he empties out inside you.
You're both panting, coming down from your shared high. Instead of pulling out immediately, Pope just wraps his arms tighter around you, pulling you closer, licking salty sweat from your neck.
"Yeah, the cold is fucking great," he grumbles, "as long as we stay in here, like this."
Andrew Pope Codyâs favorite position is cowgirl. He loves watching your pretty face scrunch up in pleasure as you move on his cock. He watches your tits bounce from beneath you, his mouth hanging open as he nods subconsciously. His big heavy calloused hands resting on your hips, fingers digging into your skin.
Sammy Bryantâs favorite position is missionary. He canât stop leaning down and kissing your soft lips through shared moans. He loves pushing down on your lower tummy as he plows into you, feeling himself deep in your guts. Heâll throw your legs over his shoulders to get a deeper angle on the nights he feels like being rough, plowing into you so hard you can feel the little pudge above his cock pushing against your clit.
Jack Abbotâs favorite position is doggy style. He rests his leg on a fluffy pillow, the other bent at the knee hanging off the bed a little. He loves the way you arch your back when he softly runs his palm over it, pushing down lightly at your shoulder blades. His hands grabbing at your hips, pulling you back onto him. Throaty grunts coming from his lips, little âfuuck yeah, you like that?â Coming from his plushy lips, heâs biting his bottom lip, skin slapping skin as he pounds into you from behind.
Titus Danforthâs favorite position is also cowgirl, but you on his lap. He fucking loves when heâs sitting up against the headboard and youâre on his lap, riding his cock. Your arms wrapped around his neck, nodding and moaning, moving your hips. His big hands running up and down your back, pulling your bare chest into his and itâs all sweaty and messy and perfect. He buries his face into your neck, sniffing it deeply and biting at it, smiling.
pope & his inability to let anyone else near you⊠like ever.
youâre making a sandwich for you & him at the kitchen island, colorful bikini & sun-warmed skin that smells like coconuts. your back to the fridge, you can see craig trying to scooch by you in your peripheral.
now craigâs a big guy, so itâs going to take a bit of manuevering to get by you (not that heâs complaining). so when he reaches out a tattooed, thick arm to press against the small of your back in a silent âexcuse me,â popeâs already on it.
somehow he manages to puff up his chest & look even bigger than his younger brother. âgo the other way, bro.â quite literally standing in front of the passage between your back and the fridge.
when craig rolls his eyes, âwhatever, manâ and goes the other route of the kitchen island, pope cuddles closer to you. head hanging on your shoulder so you can lovingly run your hand along the back of his neck while he pouts, âtakinâ too long. come sit with me.â
E | cw - slight manipulation, jacks got a thing for pregnancy but like nothing nsfw, eluded intimidation/threats
2:06 AM
Iâm thinking of Jack Abbot who loves his new pregnant neighbor.
He doesn't think heâs seen a more beautiful pregnant woman than you, even with swollen feet that were always in slippers or sandals, or how your face was fuller than the older pictures heâd seen of you. Heâd thought you looked amazing as you were, an amazing creator of life, who just shone with natural and effortless beauty, as life itself.
He easily found himself helping you with everything and anything before going to work every day. Moving your new furniture around, putting together the nursery, and helping you paint- basically any manual labor your deadbeat boyfriend was supposed to be doing.
That was a sore subject to him; he would get irrationally angry and possessive when he did come around, asking for handouts and overall douchebaggery he did not appreciate or warrant for this new age of boys. You seemed to never notice Jack's sudden abrasiveness towards your boyfriend, but then again, everyone was so it wasnât much of a difference as with everyone else.
You were struggling with the decision of keeping your baby daddy in your life and soon to be born childs life. Embarrassed to be walking around with no father, but not ready to let him be in your childâs life if he kept up the way he was. Jack was adamant about not giving you his opinion, kept saying âitâs obvious, sweetheart, but I canât be the one to tell you.â Or âyou wouldnât care for what I think, itâs a little outdatedâ
The whole time, he just wants to put on a shotgun wedding and make you his before that baby comes so his last name is on both of youâ but thatâs not exactly feasible with that lowlife hanging around, so itâs about time heâd stop.
After texting no response from your ex in weeks, you decided to carry on your own, rushing to tell Jack next door as soon as you had the epiphany. He couldnât be more thrilled; of course he was. Things were moving right on schedule; you were coming up on your third trimester, and he had a wife to move in.
Titus loves to spoil you. But he also knows that he has to find other ways to do it. You obviously love being lavished, but when money is no object, endless expensive gifts eventually lose their charm. So if he wants to impress you, he finds he has to work harder. Pay more attention.
Coming home to see wall to wall bouquets warms your heart. But itâs the fact that theyâre your favorite favorite flowers that makes you melt.
Lavish dinners, where Titus pretty much reserves the entire restaurant so you can have a romantic moment of peace. But he also makes sure your favorite wine is waiting for you at the table when you get there.
Of course the sex is good. But itâs the fact that Titus knows exactly what will send you over the edge.
Titus knows when you get that pouty, longing look on your face, you need some attention, even when you won't say anything.
He knows that if he presses two fingers against your kiss bitten lips, youâll always accept them. It doesn't matter what fancy dinner or lavish gala you're at. When he leans in to whisper in your ear, nipping at your pulse point and telling you all the things he wants to do to you, you're putty in his hands.
He knows that after one orgasm, you're sleepy and blissful. But after the second, you're needy and hungry, begging for him.
And Titus can feel how the little mean quips run through you. He knows when your breath turns sharp, mewling after every inhale, he's hit the right spot.
It also doesn't hurt that he fucks you while you're wearing nothing but whatever new piece of jewelry he bought you that week.
summary: After Richter won't leave your side while you're sick with a stomach bug, some google searching says you might not be sick at all. And when you tell Sammy your family might be growing from three to four, he falls head over heels for you all over again.
warnings: all fluff; pregnancy, mentions of throwing up and being sick, no tammy!au, Richter is part of the fam, Sammy being the sweetest. sigh... I have a thing for big men in uniform and their troublemaker dogs.
notes: it's baby fever central over here. this was supposed to be a drabble but somehow it kept getting longer and longer lol.
It's late afternoon. The lazy kind where the television is playing softly, something you're not really paying attention to. The windows of the house are all open, letting in the warm breeze and sunlight.Â
You're on the couch relaxing, trying to take it easy and hopefully rid yourself of the stomach bug that had been plaguing you the past few weeks. An off and on sickness that left you feeling lethargic and zapped of all your energy, vomiting like this was some lame rendition of the exorcist.
Your legs are propped up on the extra couch pillows, Richter laying between them. The dog's wet nose presses against your palm as you scratch his ears, snout burrowing into your side as he whines. You sigh, a tired youâve never known settling into your aching limbs.Â
âWe're a sorry pair today, huh,â you scratch the top of Richterâs furry head. The dog replies with a sneeze. You cringe, turning away as your stomach churns. âThatâs gross buddy.â
The tv keeps playing, some romcom Sammy had rented along with the big stack of other cheesy movies he'd gotten from Blockbuster in the hopes of keeping your spirits up. He's been really worried about you lately, constantly giving you a sympathetic pout or feeling your forehead with the back of his hand to make sure you're not burning up.Â
It was strange.
Whatever bug you'd caught wasn't like the typical cold you've had before. It left you feeling sick and exhausted, but there was no outward symptoms besides the vomit. No fever or snot or sore throat. Just an upset stomach and an exhaustion that made you want nothing more than to curl up in Sammyâs arms and sleep the day away.Â
From the coffee table, your phone rings, Richterâs ears perking up as he turns to look at it. You reach over for your baby pink Nokia buzzing against the surface. The muscles in your arms ache in spite of you having done nothing much all day, fingers tingling as they brush the vibrating object.Â
You finally get a hold of it, leaning on your elbow as you flip the phone open, pressing the accept button. You hear the click of the line opening, Richterâs paws digging into your thigh as you shift on the couch.Â
âHey,â you yawn into the phone, already knowing who's on the other end of the line.Â
âHey. You doing okay?â Sammyâs soft voice crackles. You can practically picture your husband, leaning behind some filing cabinet, hiding from Nate who's probably got a hundred case files to sort through.Â
âIâm okay,â you hum, settling back into the couch.Â
âStill not feeling good?âÂ
âEh,â you shrug, watching Richter adjust his snout against your thigh. âIt's a bit better. I managed to keep down some crackers this morning.â
âThat's good,â Sammy says into the phone, not doing a good job of masking the worry in his voice. âYou sure you don't want me to come home for lunch? Just to check on you?âÂ
âNo no. It's okay, really.âÂ
âI can. Iâll bring you that chicken noodle soup from the grandmaâs diner down the street.â You groan, stomach churning at the thought of the greasy diner food Sammy often frequented.Â
âOh gosh, don't even mention chicken.âÂ
âNo?âÂ
âNo. Bleh,â you shiver, feeling sick just at the thought of meat. âThat does not sound appealing. At. All.â
âOkay, alright.â You can hear the amused smile in his voice. You sigh, scratching Richterâs furry head again.
âHow's your day been?âÂ
âOh,â Sammy sighs, his tone shifting more seriously. âYou know. Just another day in paradise over here.â
âIâm sorry,â you frown.Â
âIt's okay. We got a bad drug deal case we're working on right now. It's a mess.â
âThat sounds awful."
âYeah⊠You sure you don't want me to come home?â You smile.Â
âWhat, is Nate giving you a hard time over there?âÂ
âNah. But Iâd happily spend the rest of the day taking care of you than going through these records.â
âAw, Sammy,â you grin. âI love being your scapegoat.â He laughs with you.
âBut really, Iâm okay. Richterâs keeping me company. Won't leave me alone actually.â
âOh yeah?âÂ
âHe practically breaks down the door when I try and pee.â
âHuh,â Sammy huffs into the line. âWeird.âÂ
âYeah, I know.âÂ
Richter hadn't exactly been the chill dog he was acting like when Sammy had first brought him home.
He'd been wary of you, barking when you wore certain perfume, chewing up your favorite pair of shoes. Constantly butting against your calf in need of attention, barking defensively when given said attention.
Sammy had told you he'd get used to domestic life. That after years of always being alert, the dog was probably unsettled by the quiet and calm of your home.Â
The dog had definitely adjusted, practically singing a new tune not long before you first got sick.Â
From the other side of the line, you can hear a voice calling Sammyâs name. There's a rustling, voices muffled as Sammy covers the receiver and then a loud clang of a drawer
âSammy?â You frown.Â
âHey sweetheart, sorry. Listen, I gotta go. Nate just got a call we've been waiting for.âÂ
âThat's okay. Thanks for checking on me.â
âOf course. Got to make sure my girlâs doing okay.âÂ
âIâm fine. Now go crack that case detective Bryant.â Sammy laughs.
âAlright. I love you.â
âLove you too.âÂ
The line clicks and you shut your phone closed with a tired groan. Richter makes a noise, a low whine vibrating against your leg. He almost sounded worried, big brown eyes watching you. You smile, patting his head.Â
âIâm okay Rick. You are really jumpy today, huh.â
The contents of the fridge stare at you mockingly and you shut the door with a groan. Nothing sounded appetizing or even remotely appealing.Â
If you were being honest, you could really go for a fat slice of cherry pie with melty french vanilla icecream. Specifically the pie the wife of one of Sammyâs detective buddies brought to a function last year.
But the sugar would probably do you in further, if you were being honest.Â
You pout, opening up the same cabinets you'd been looking at for the past week.Â
The same boxes of cereal and pasta and random snacks Sammy brought home. They all rested on the shelves with mockingly bright packages and names that sounded delicious, but made you sick to even think of biting into. You huff, leaning against the counter, your already small energy levels diminishing as you stand around the kitchen.Â
Richter is right there at your calves, tongue lolling as he looks up at you expectantly. You smile at him, grabbing the bag of dog treats on the counter and tossing him one. He scarfs it down, lips smacking over his pointy canines, immediately going back to watching you. You snort and shake your head.Â
âWhat is with you lately Richter?âÂ
The dog just watches you. You sigh, rubbing your forehead with frustration.Â
âI swear this is not what I meant when I said I was thinking about losing some weight.â Richter barks, and you nod. âRight. Iâd rather run a mile than have to throw up again.âÂ
You sigh tiredly, just wishing your stomach would settle enough to eat something. Anything. Nothing sounded good. Not between the disgusting smell the leftover steak and macaroni was giving off in the fridge and the sheer desire for that stupid cherry pie you were feeling.Â
You wander over to the fridge again, opening it to the same disappointment you were greeted with like the last three times. The sound of Richterâs nails against the tile follows you again and you glance at him.
âWhat is with you, huh? Youâre acting all clingy. What am I dyingâŠâÂ
Your laughter trails off as you pause. Richter looks up at you, tongue still lolling happily. You stand there frozen, a sudden worry carving its way through your heart.Â
Something Sammy has said to you once about K-9 dogs and training their smell.
âYou know theyâre training dogs for all kinds of stuff too. Not just drugs.â
âLike what?âÂ
âOh, you know. Cancer and health stuff. Heard theyâre trying to catch illness early.â
âWow. Thatâs crazy. Can Richter smell that stuff?â
âDunno. His sniffer is a little on the fritz. Sâ why he retired.â
âHe still knows when dinner is ready.â
âThatâs just cause your cooking is great hun.â
âAw, Sammy-â
Richterâs wet nose bumps against your shin, bringing you back to the present. Your mouth is dry when you try to swallow. The dog looks up at you, eyes big and wide.Â
Did he know something you didnât?
The house feels too quiet, the desert neighborhood surrounding you less peaceful and more eerie. Suffocating at the thought something might be wrong. You crouch down beside Richter, hands fluffing the fur around his torso.
âIs there something wrong Richter?â
The dog doesnât say anything. Of course he doesnât, dogs donât talk. But the worry is making you feel nauseous again, and you donât know if you can wait for Sammy to get home to have your worries quelled.
You stand up with a quiet grunt, trudging down the hall to Sammyâs office room, the dog right at your heels again. The sunlight shines in through the big room, painting the bookcases crammed full of binders and books in soft light, illuminating the messy and crowded desk Sammy was always complaining he needed to organize.
The boxy computer the station lent him fires up with a loud hum, the equally boxy housing system whirring at your feet. You settle into Sammyâs big office chair, the leather worn and comfy, smelling like your husbandâs cologne. Richter spins, settling on the floor next to you, eyes still trained on your slouched frame. Like you would disappear.
You laugh in spite of your newfound worry.
The computer screen finally blinks to life and you straighten to attention, fingers clacking against the clicky keyboard. You fire up the search engine system, the big blocky GOOGLE appearing.
Your fingers quickly begin to input questions, your eyes scanning the results as they appear.
Dogs and throwing up.Â
Can dogs smell you being sick?
Dogs smelling illness.Â
Dogs and-
You pause as you read the third result.Â
Dogs and pregnancy.Â
The chair creaks as you lean back, like the result personally offended you.Â
Like the thought that crossed your mind wasnât totally and completely crazy.
No.
That wasnât⊠that couldnât be.
You glance down at Richter whoâd become very interested in sniffing at one of Sammyâs ties heâd left draped over the chairâs arm. You blink and click on the search bar again, your searches beginning to change. The hope settling in next to your fear becomes almost as overwhelming as the sick feeling still etched into the walls of your stomach.Â
Can dogs smell pregnancy?
The question was absurd considering you hadnât even touched the possibility at all these past few weeks. Although now that the door had opened, it seemed almost the perfect explanation.
You rarely got sick in a normal year and never as bad as the past few weeks had been. Hormone pills werenât exactly your favorite form of protection and Sammy had a bad habit of reassuring you he was the âgun drawingâ champ. Of course, you knew in the back of your head your less than consistent protection methods werenât exactly full proof.
And maybe.
Just maybe.
There was a teeny tiny part of you that didnât mind.Â
You and Sammy had talked about starting a family.
Plenty of times.
Youâd watch diaper advertisements with a big smile or pass by little onesies in the store with longing glances. Sammy was always talking about the kids involved in his cases, how he often felt paternal over their situations. It was one of the first topics that had risen during those early stages of dating. There was no doubt that a baby was something you both wanted.
But you? Pregnant right now?
âI canât be pregnant,â you laugh as you stare at the screen. âI mean thatâs- thatâsâŠâ
You trail off, looking down at Richter. The dog is staring up at you again. Looking slightly bored as he chews on Sammyâs tie idly.Â
âItâs crazy Richter. I mean, donât pregnant women get sick later in pregnancy. And doesnât everything else get⊠bigger?â You gesture questioningly to your body. Still the same as it had been.
There was only one way to really tell. If you were spiraling or not.Â
You push away from the desk after shutting down Sammyâs computer, padding down the hall towards the bathroom. Richter barks, scrambling up onto his paws and following you.
He pushes through the ajar door as you begin rummaging through the toiletry basket beneath the sink, looking for the familiar pink box. The dog sits unashamedly at the door as you hurriedly toss the toilet lid open and make quick work of the pregnancy stick in your hand.
You set the test down on the counter and step back, waiting. Itâs the longest three minutes of your life. The clock ticks mockingly slow, your eyes glued to the moving hands as you sit back on the toilet.
âIt wonât be positive. It canât.â
Richterâs tail flops against the bath mat as he sits patiently. Your leg bounces against the porcelain lid.
âI mean,â you chuckle, âItâs flu season. I probably just have a really bad case, yâknow.â You look down at the dog. He doesnât look all that impressed with your reasoning. You sigh and lean over to ruffle the scruff of his neck.Â
âWhat if it is positive Ricky? What am I gonna do?â Richter licks the palm of your hand, whining. âI know, I know. Sammy and I have talked about kids. We both want them. But heâs been so busy lately. And the economy is kinda in shambles right now and to bring a baby into all thisâŠâ
You trail off with a defeated sigh.
âI just donât know.â Richter licks your forearm, like heâs trying to help. You smile, glancing up at the clock.
âWel⊠itâs time.â
You stand and nervously look at the test, reaching out for it with shaky hands. The stick feels heavier than before. Like just knowing it now carried the results for your future made all the difference.
You swallow thickly, flipping it over-
Your heart sinks as you stare at it.
One pink line.
Your brows furrow, mouth pulling into a frown as you reach for the box, checking the instructions again.
âBut I thoughtâŠâ you trail off, the words lost as you stare at the test.
The negative test.
Richter stares up at you, waiting for you to say something else. But you donât.Â
Youâre not sure what youâre feeling right now. You should feel some semblance of relief. Werenât you just saying a baby wasnât exactly the best plan right now? Werenât you just sick with the worry of what bringing a baby into the world right now would mean?
But something in your heart pulls, twisting into something resembling disappointment. The small and not so secret part of you that really did want a baby. In spite of all the trials it would bring and the aches and pains. You had actually been waiting to see that positive-
Richter whines, making you blink back to reality.
âIâm sorry boy. I just⊠I really thought....â
You shake your head, stuffing the test into the box and tossing it in the trashcan with a quiet clang. A chill runs down your back and you shiver, sighing as you realize how tired you felt, the sickness you were still dealing with not relenting.
âCome on Richter,â you gesture towards the living room, trying to pretend like you were fine. âLetâs go back and watch some tv.â
Everything was fine. It was fine.
A negative test was a good thing. Right?
You were just sick with the flu. Richter was finally adjusted to being a member of the Bryant household.
There was no baby.
But as you lay on the couch again, the dog settled against you comfortingly, your heart broke a little at the thought.
The house is dark as he quietly sneaks into the living room, the messy evidence of the dayâs battle with your illness still strewn about the house. Sammy doesnât even really have the heart to pick any of it up, the ache in his back pulling his mind towards his bed, the low rumbling of his empty stomach guiding him to the kitchen.
Sammy sets down his briefcase and coat, kicking off his shoes before he beelines it to the fridge. He pulls out the first container of leftovers he lays his eyes on, grabbing a piece of silverware from the dish rack.
He shovels a few bites of cold mac and cheese into his face while he stares blankly at the tiled backsplash. Itâs so quiet in the house, rightly so for it being close to ten.Â
Although Sammy is surprised Richter hasnât come running.
A little high strung and wary of any visitors, the dog is always the first one to check out whoâs coming through the door. Sammy can see from his position against the kitchen counter that Richter is not in his dog bed like usual. The plush and cozy bed is empty, save for the chewed and abused rabbit toy youâd bought for him. The one with the leg chewed clean off.
Sammyâs too tired to dwell over it. He tosses the container back into the fridge, throwing back an alka seltzer tablet before he pads down the hall towards the bedroom.Â
The hardwood floor creaks beneath his weight, the soft moonlight illuminating through the half closed door. Sammy nudges the door open slowly, standing in the doorway for a moment as he loosens his tie, watching the rise and fall of your chest.
You were tucked cozily under the covers, Richter curled up against your backside. Sammy canât help but smile at the sight, even if his heart hurt knowing you werenât feeling good.
You barely move when he pads into the room, the soft smell of chamomile tea long gone cold filling the room, Richterâs soft snores making everything feel together. Stitched like a homey portrait; a scene of perfect domesticity, it made Sammyâs heart ache even more.
Because every night he got to come home to something soft and wonderful and so unlike the violence and horror his job threw at him day after day.
All the awful things LA tried so hard to hide, the awful aftermath of fights gone wrong, kids who didnât know actions had consequences, people who just wanted to find a way out only to fall into the wrong hands.
But here.
Here in his bedroom, with a closet filled to the brim with your pretty skirts and his collection of mediocre suits, the bed with mismatched sheets and a cozy chair the two of you had found at an estate sale not too long ago.
Here, everything was as it should be.Â
Warm. Quiet. A kind of peace that couldnât be tucked into concrete apartment complexes or busy freeways.
It was the heart of everything that Sammy loved about this place.
You.Â
Sammy smiles tiredly as he slips his belt off, setting it carefully on his nightstand so the holster didnât clatter. He nudges Richter, trying to get the dog to wake, sighing when Richter just turns away from him, snuggling closer against you.
âRichter,â Sammy whispers, slipping the straps of his suspenders off his shoulders. âHey, come on bud. No dog on the furniture, thatâst he rule.â
Richter just puffs at the reminder, eyes glowing in the dark. Sammy makes a face, trying to tug at the dogâs collar. Sammy, as much as he loved the dog, had a hard rule about the animal sleeping in bed with the two of you. It was his job to keep you company at night, not the dogs.
But tonight, Richter didnât budge.Â
In fact he growled lowly at Sammy, turning over further into you.Â
âRickâŠâ Sammy sighs. You mumble groggily into your pillow at the sound, your hand coming up to brush a strand of hair caught in your mouth.
âSammy?â You whisper tiredly. Sammyâs face softens as the mattress dips beneath his weight, his hand reaching out to brush the hair away from your face.
âHi baby. Didnât mean to wake you,â he whispers.Â
âSâ alright,â you blink, leaning into the kiss he presses against your cheek.Â
âYou feeling okay?â Sammy asks. It was a casual question. Almost routine after you being sick for so long.Â
âYeah. Iâm okay.â Thereâs a pause in your voice. Almost imperceptible, but Sammy catches it. He frowns, noting the way the soft lines of your face almost look sad in the dark.Â
âYou sure?â He asks, thumb brushing along your hairline comfortingly. You give him a smile, opening your arms wide in a silent request as you speak.
âI promise. Just missed you.â Sammy obliges, lowering himself into your arms, being careful to not crush you beneath his big frame.
âYeah? I missed you too pretty girl.â
You hum, the sound vibrating against his chest. Sammy chuckles, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. You turn your head away from him, eyes closed as you hum quietly again.
Peacefully. The content sound of everything being as it should be.Â
âYou need a shower,â you whisper.
âWow. Thatâs your best greeting?â
âIâm tired Sammy,â you chuckle. âItâs been a long day.â
âYeah,â he murmurs into your hairline. âMe too.âÂ
âWell hurry up then,â you push him away, your hand lacking any real force. Sammy just shakes his head and peels himself away from you, giving Richter a resigned pat to the side.
The shower is cool against Sammyâs broad frame, refreshing after the hot LA sun. The water runs off of his freckled face and shoulders, washing away the grime and grim tension of the dayâs events.
Sammy is hanging his towel on the rack, dried and changed into an old academy shirt and a clean pair of boxer shorts, when he accidentally knocks his watch off the sink. It falls in the space between the toilet, bouncing off the little trash can there.
Sammy grumbles, too tired to deal with it. But he does. Itâs his only watch, the one youâd spent way too much money on as a gift for his 30th birthday.Â
Sammy crouches down, water droplet still dripping off his damp hair as he reaches for the watch. He pauses, his eye catching something in the trash.
A familiar looking box.
He pulls it out by the ripped cardboard flap, the flimsy material pressed between his index and middle finger.
Itâs a pregnancy test box.
Of course it was, heâd recognize the magenta and pink box anywhere. It was hard to miss in your mostly drab bathroom. Sammy frowns, forgetting the watch for a moment as he fully pulls out the box, curiosity getting the better of him.Â
He canât help but rifle through it, looking for the used test. It wasnât that he didnât trust you to tell him these kinds of things. Of course he did.Â
But Sammy had a bad habit of sticking his nose into places it didnât belong. Nate says itâs what made him a good detective. Curiosity helped find answers.
Save lives.
In this case, curiosity revealed that Sammy Bryant was about to be a father.
Sammy stares at the test, squinting at the double pink lines.
The second one was faint, barely glinting beneath the light. But it was there. Any semblance of being tired is zapped as he blinks at those two lines, his mouth falling agape in shock. You were pregnant?Â
Something clicks in Sammyâs mind. The sickness youâd been fighting. The way Richter had been acting. Like pieces of a puzzle finally laid into a full picture.Â
Sammy shakes his head, sitting back on his haunches.
But⊠you hadnât said anything.
You hadnât even given him a hint that something else might be happening. That you might be hiding this perfect little secret. In fact, you had almost seemed⊠sad.
Were you sad? Did you not want this?
Something tightens in Sammyâs chest, a hint of doubt. Maybe he should just ask you about it. The stationâs couples counselor always says âcommunication is keyâ, and Sammy knows even the hardest conversations are part of maintaining a healthy relationship.
Sammy sits on the bathroom floor for a while, thinking, thumb tapping against his lip, leg bouncing nervously.
Nervous. He shouldnât be nervous.
Who was Sammy kidding? He was practically buzzing at the idea of being a father.Â
Sammy finally grabs his watch, standing with the test and padding back down the hall to your bedroom. You let out a soft noise when Sammy gently prods your shoulder, head lulling against his forearm.
âWhat took you so long?â You mumble quietly, not opening your eyes.
âHoney⊠can we talk?â You crack your lashes open, blearily staring into the dark at him.
âWha-â Sammy holds out the test.
He knows you canât see it, eyes straining to focus in the dark. He reaches over for the lamp, giving you a quick apology as he flips the switch on, the room bathed in a soft orange glow. You moan, covering your eyes.
âSamuel-â
âI know, I know.â
âDo you know what time it is?â
âYeah, Iâm sorry. But this is kinda important honey.â
You blink, sitting up in bed. Richter isnât pleased as your legs jostle him, the dog puffing as he rolls over to Sammyâs side of the bed, legs splayed out over the comforter. You squint at Sammy, your hair mussed from sleep, licking your lips as you half glare at him.
âWhatâs so important?â
âThis.â Sammy holds out the test for you.
âOh,â you say, something sad crossing your face. âI was gonna tell you tomorrow.â
Sammy scoffs, a mixed sound of amusement and disbelief as you take the test from him.
âTomorrow? You were gonna wait that long?â
âWell, yeah. I mean, itâs not like itâs gonna change anything.â
âNot gonna change⊠WHAT?!â Sammy half hisses, confusion written across his face. âWhat do you mean this isnât gonna change anything. Of course it does.â
You frown, making a strange face.
âSammy⊠what on earth are you talking about? It was a negative test, of course I wasnât going to tell you about it at 11 at night.âÂ
Oh.Â
You had taken the test earlier and it had been negative.Â
Oh.Â
Sammy bursts into bright laughter, the sound echoing off the walls. You donât look even half as amused as him and Sammy doesnât blame you at all. Not even when you try to push him away when he cups your face and presses a wet kiss to your face.
âSam-â
âHoney, I think you need to check the test again.â
You pause, frowning.
You glance down at the test, squinting. Sammy watches, his smile brightening further the moment he knows you see it. Your eyes widen slightly, your hands quickly bringing the test beneath the light.
And there they were. Two pink lines.
âButâŠâ you trail off, mouth searching for the words. âIt wasnât- these werenât there before.â
Sammy grins, his hand reaching out to rest against your thigh.Â
âI think youâre pregnant, baby.â You donât say anything, just stare at the lines. Sammy tries to catch your eye, but you refuse to look at him. He thinks you might be in shock. âHoney?â
Sammy shakes your thigh gently, finally drawing your attention.
âI donât⊠I donât even know what to say.â He frowns.
âDo you not want to-â
âNo,â you interject before he can even finish the sentence. âNo, of course I want a baby. I really do. Itâs just- earlier when it was negative I thought something was wrong with me.â
âOh, honey.â Sammy pulls you into his arms, your legs curling beneath you as you settle against him. âYouâre okay. Weâll be okay.â
You look down at the test and then back up at him.
âWhat if it's a false positive? Those can happen.â
âThey can?â He frowns.Â
âI mean, it wasnât positive before. Maybe-â
âWell, just take another test. Thereâs no harm in that, is there?â
âSammy,â you tilt your head. âI just donât want you to get your hopes up.âÂ
Sammy smiles and kisses you softly.
âIâm always looking on the bright side of things honey. If it really truly is negative, then maybe itâs time we start trying.â
âReally?â Your eyes brighten.
âReally,â Sammy nods as he tucks a piece of hair behind your ear. âI think itâs time for a baby.â
You smile brightly. You still look tired and exhausted from being sick all day. But youâre eyes are sparkling. And Sammy doesnât think heâs ever loved you more than he does right now. At the prospect of you carrying his child.
Richterâs snout pokes between the space of your bodies and Sammy throws him a glare. The dog pushes him away from you, pressing his furry body against your torso. Sammy pouts.
âAlthough I really donât think itâs negative, sweetheart.â
You laugh.Â
âI think heâs just nosey. Always needs to be a part of things, huh,â you scratch Richterâs ears fondly.
You stand in the front of the fridge, the door open as you stare.Â
But youâre not staring into the lit insides, the cold air seeping through the fabric of your dress. Your eyes are directed upward, glued to the ultrasound photo pinned to the metal surface by a giftshop magnet.Â
A baby.Â
Three positive tests and a doctor's appointment to confirm it.
Sammy reaches out to squeeze your hand on the fridge door, pressing a kiss to your shoulder as he passes by you.
âYouâre gonna waste the electricity just standing there baby.â
You hum in question, not really listening. Too busy thinking about the future baby Bryant and not enough about the cold bowl of cherries had come over to grab.
âWhat was that?â You ask dreamily.
âI said-â
Sammy turns back to you, going to repeat his statement. But he pauses, taking in how beautiful you look standing there. The slight glow you had, the pure and excited thrill that washes over him as he looks at you.
You were pregnant. He was going to be a dad.
You turn to look at Sammy, reaching into the fridge for the bowl of juicy, red fruit.
Andrew who wonât let you do anything when youâre pregnant SIIIGH and since ur not supposed to be on ur back you just HAAAAAVE to sit on his face :(
TW: Pregnancy // MDNI
He's just so nervous the entire time that you're pregnant, especially if its your first baby together :(( he's wanted a family for sooo long and now he's having one with the love of his life? safe to say Andrew will be a bit overbearing about your general wellbeing from the start.
Pope doesn't want u fussing around the house or exerting yourself too much (which in Pope's POV is basically doing anything except sitting down and resting your swollen feet). he's stressed out of his mind when you try to help with even the most menial chores that you could still totally do yourself, and wants to be there with you anywhere you go outside the house "in case something happens."
He's fussy about sex. not that he doesn't think his lovely partner isn't at their sexiest, all big and round with his baby because you're glowing under his attentive care, but Pope's a big guy to say the least and his mind is screaming that he's going to crush you by mistake in the heat of the moment.
Missionary is out of the question, also because you're not supposed to be on your back. Doggy is absolutely out of the question because he's worried your arms will get tired and you'll fall on your belly. You two tried spooning but he couldn't get as deep as you liked and when you tried cowgirl Andrew got sucked out of the mood when you started panting and heaving from all the bouncing you were doing
So sitting on his face it was if you wanted to get off. and God did you want to get off, your pregnancy hormones coupled with Andrew strutting around all bulging muscles, building the nursery's furniture and baby-proofing the house making you wetter than ever.
"You're so wet," Andy huffs in between peppering kisses on your wet lips. His big, rough hands hold you safely above his face, fingers digging ever so slightly into the soft flesh of your thighs so Pope makes sure that you're not going anywhere. "This all for me?" He presses a hard kiss to the your inner thigh, nuzzling the soft flesh bracketing his freshly shaven cheeks before returning back to your needy cunt.
And trust that Pope loooves eating you out, it's his favorite thing to do ever. He's not saying much but every grunt and groan escaping his chest is music to your ears.
"So sweet..." he mumbles dazedly in between sucking on your clit and lapping at your cunt, more talking to himself than you. "Taste so good, momma..." Pope whines, rubbing his face across your lips.
He tugs you even closer, moaning when your ass and pussy press flush to his face, his free hand kneading your thigh like dough while the obscene slurping sounds coming out his mouth and the squelching of his fingers in your cunt burn your ears and cheeks.
It's so much that you have to hold onto his waist for dear life, Pope not even giving you the chance to grind onto his face with how he's pulling you back for more and more and more. The bulge in his boxers calls to your greedy mouth, the outline of his hard cock visible with a wet patch at the tip, but Pope's mouth is distracting you way too much for you to even concentrate on sucking him off.
Not that Andrew asked for a bj. he's too hyperfocused on your perfect, puffy pussy to do anything about his own needs, mouth and fingers incessant in fucking you until you're all stupid and sexdrunk, and even then he's not letting up.
"Please bunny, jus' a lil' more," whining against your swollen slit, index and middle finger still working at your silky walls, desperate to coax another orgasm out of you. When you look back Pope's face is soaked, your slick glistening on his swollen lips and chin and up to his nose. "Just give me one more, yeah? one more, promise."
he knows how to read. heâs had to prove that more than once inside an interrogation room, demonstrating that yes, he does understand his miranda rights.
but he doesnât read. not the way you do. while youâre sitting in bed, paperback in hand, heâs usually just watching you. if heâs building something, he doesnât even bother with the instructions, opting to use the pictures or find some video online. even when babysitting your niece, pope finds a way to avoid the bedtime story, usually by washing the dishes or reorganizing the pantry.
his number is called the next time the two of you are watching your niece. sheâs recently started reading short chapter books, and holds out a tattered copy of some iteration of junie b jones.
âpope! will you read to me?â
and how the fuck does he say no to that?
pope finds himself sitting ramrod straight on your nieceâs bed, hands quivering ever so slightly as he starts to read from the beginning of chapter 4. youâre next to him, leg touching his in a silent show of solidarity, gaze gentle as he slowly reads.
your niece is enamored - because of course she is. pope may not read fast or do fun voices, but he takes the job seriously. he stumbles only once, pronouncing chaos phonetically, before realizing that didnât sound right. without missing a beat, you chime in - âkay-oss. makes no sense why itâs spelled like that.â
your niece demands pope show her the word, and agrees that itâs âspelled stupid.â
the pink flush and slight smile on popeâs face lasts the remainder of the evening.
