A LIGHT giggle elicited Sophie’s lips as she felt his strong hands pull her petite frame onto his lap, she settled into his arms contentedly, feeling as though their bodies were made to fit together. He was all she needed, and when the time would (hopefully) come, they’d have their child by their side. A family of their very own with the love of her life was all she wanted, even just the thought of not being able to give her husband what they’d been hoping for killed her. “Mm, I like the way you think. You’re very smart, have I told you that?” Her lips curved into a smirk as she gazed up at him, a look of adoration on her face.
“I appreciate it, my love… it’s nice to know you have my back, and you know I have yours, right?” She knew the answer to her own question, but she wanted to be reassured of it, because Alex was her whole world, and the last thing she would want would be to let him down. “How did that go? Before bed last night I took a peek at what you had done yesterday… I’m very impressed, but I can’t say I’m surprised. You’re the best in your field.” Truer words had never been spoken. No one had the talent that Alec possessed, and she was so happy that he was getting the credit and accolades he deserved. “I’m excited for this gallery, and all our future projects…” She added, beginning to absentmindedly play with the diamond bracelet wrapped around her wrist. “I’m still excited about the possibility of this baby… if it’ll ever happen, but I’m just worried that I’ll never be able to give that to you.”
“I think you have told me that a couple of times, yes.” he joked, teasing her and repeatedly kissing the top of her head as he just held on to her and absentmindedly trailed his finger tips down her arms. He loved the way that Sophie looked at him, it had never changed from when they were just going out. She still made him feel like the guy he was 15 years before, moving to a new town and falling for the real estate agent who was trying to find him a new home, and there they were now happily married and doing their best to start a family.
“And you are my wife so you’re completely biased.” he said, never having been one to do well accepting compliments, though knowing Sophie was proud of what he could do was definitely the highest compliment he could ask for. She was the most important person in his life, and her opinion was the only opinion he really cared about. Other than the high regard he had for her coming from how completely in love with her he was, he also trusted her eye and put a lot of weight on her suggestions because he knew that she had exquisite taste. “You know what, this project is nothing compared to how excited I am about us starting a family,” he said, thinking of getting pregnant as the most important project trumping every and all other work related things. “Hey, Soph... it’ll happen alright? Somehow, someway. It’ll happen when it’s meant to happen. I don’t want you to worry about it too much okay?” he asked, kissing her cheek. He knew how much she thought about having a baby, and how much she wanted it - he wanted it too. But no matter how they ended up starting a family, all he needed was her. “I’m a lucky guy exactly where I am right now with you.”
