The Postman

Against my better judgment, I became more than just a carrier of mail. I became a carrier of hope, of something better than what they had. [RP 21+] #Taken

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He can't help but join in the laughter, looking between the two of them} I'm sure she'll cling more to you as she grows up.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {His brow furrows curiously as he looks back up at her} Really? Not even you?

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {Hope finally pulls his finger out of her mouth, her tiny hands tugging at it as hard as she can}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {His smile spreads into a grin, a hint of blush coloring his cheeks as he looks back down at Hope} And I love her.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He looks up at Abby with a warm smile as Hope gums away at his finger} Maybe she just likes the taste.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He smiles down at Hope, chuckling softly as she babbles and grabs his finger, stuffing it in her mouth}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {His cheeks color ever so slightly as he nods, holding his arms out for the infant} I think I can do that.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He sits on the edge of the bed and picks up a plate, gesturing with his fork} Do you want me to feed you?

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He returns shortly with two plates of scrambled eggs and bacon, setting them down on the night stand} I hope it's okay.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He winks and pats her hand before getting up and heading out to the kitchen to fix breakfast}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He blushes faintly, laying a hand on his lips as he smiles} I know. I can't wait.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He nods, leaning over to kiss both of them on the forehead} You two stay here and I'll be back shortly.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He cups her cheek with his hand, stroking it gently with his thumb} Any preference or just whatever I can find?

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He lets the kiss linger for a moment before straightening up with a smile} Want me to make us something to eat?

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He kisses Hope's forehead again} And he loves her. And her mother. {He gives Abby a soft kiss on the lips}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He smiles as he flexes his finger in her grip} That's certainly one way of trying to keep me here.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He carefully leans over Hope, kissing Abby gently before planting a kiss on the top of Hope's head as well}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He manages a small smile as he rubs the rest of the sleep out of his eyes, stifling a yawn} You're welcome, sweetheart.

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He blinks the sleep from his eyes, grumbling quietly as he extricates himself from her arms and pads over to Hope's crib}

[The Postman @MailMustGoThru]

@GivesHimHope {He curls up next to her, holding her protectively as he falls into a deep sleep}
