For noever, I had to take care of myself and the baby boy in my belly

Thinking of my baby that the ultrasound tech had discovered plain and clearly was a boy made me smile despite all the pain I was in I really did have a little Bash growing inside of , not only because I wanted a little double of thea girl would make Lexa think that I loved her less I didn’t knohat I would have done if that had ever colad that it wouldn’t

I loved Lexa as if she were my own and never wanted her to feel any differently because she hadn’t been born to me

The suddenness of the hospital roo with a moment of fear, still a little unsettled from the day’s events Bash was across the roo over the parts of my body that didn’t hurt A tricky feat sincethrob

Big hands that held the strength of a Greek god skiently that I couldn’t help the tears that filledthis beautiful ain “I love you,” I whispered for as probably the five hundredth tio

“I love you too, Raven” He brushed his lips tenderly overcareful to avoid ainst for fear of hurting my son but that the doctors had been adamant about—had shown that it was just a fracture and wouldn’t need surgery I’d been lucky with the broken wrist as well, since they had been able to set it without any problems

I left my uninjured hand and pushed his dark hair back from his face “Did you call Willa? Is Lexa okay?”

So behind htly “I called her, although she already kneas going on thanks to Spider Lexa is fine, just a little upset that she can’t coht”

I sed hard “She called me ‘momma’ today,” I whispered “I should have stayed hoed me If I had this wouldn’t have happened Our son wouldn’t have been put in danger”

“Stop it,” he gently scolded “You couldn’t have known that any of this would have happened You had no reason to think that Bubbles would want to hurt you” He sat on the edge of antic hands on my lower stoht now”

I covered his hand and we sat there in silence for a long while When he was besideme feel loved and safe, my pain was almost bearable A yawn escapedsweet oblivion from this fuck-tastic day

“Is it okay that she calls you ‘momma’?”

My eyes snapped open at his quietly asked question When I aze I saw that he looked worried “Of course it’s okay I love that little girl just as ether Why would you think that I wouldn’t be okay with it? Do you…not want her to call lad Lexa and I were so close, but what if I’d been wrong? What if he didn’t want his daughter to think of me as her mother?

“No, no Fuck no, Raven” The hand on ers “Baby, I’m so happy that the two most important females in my life are so close I just want to ri me a smile that was al you ‘momma’ all the time? What if you adopted her?”

“I…” Tears filled my eyes and I had to blink them back “I would love that, Bash”
