While hugging your muse [Modern AU for fun]
Hugs were damn hard, unfortunately, when you were ready to burst like Capable was. Twins were no joke, apparently, she knew she would get big, but this was ridiculous, in her opinion. Either way, Spider still always managed to administer much needed embraces with his long arms, never seeming to mind her protruding belly mushing against his lean one.
And sweet, too, he was always giving that crooked smile and reminding her she was beautiful even on the days she felt absolutely vile. It made he realize every time how lucky she– and Hammer– both were for having him. Not only because he had helped in allowing them to have the family they wanted, but by adding to it with his own incredible amount of warmth and love.
There was something she’d been wanting to say, but kept being unsure if it was the right time, or okay to, or… countless other things. But, wrapped up in his ever-patient and caring arms, and feeling her tummy between them and the small squirms of the two gifts that Spider had given them… there really didn’t seem to be a better time for it.
“Spider–…” she looked up at him, shyly, but smiling in total adoration while continuing, “I love you.”
