Without even looking his way, the buckle of his belt immediately tightened, slowly squeezing his form.

"Are you done?"

> something solid.

Hurt someone enough times and they'll run at the first sign of affection, too used to their own pain.

This wasn't any different.

[𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐞 ⁝ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 @RageBloodFire]

"Let's not get sentimental about it." A dry reply, but the discomfort didn't help.

The thread was thin, the reluctant was thick. Anything could break whatever little grace I'd given. I knew myself. The concept of a family was still too far away and discolored to settle into >

Where his slate wasn't the cleanest, hers could be. She wanted to make an effort, to ( try ). If it wasn't in her cards to ever have her own children, she could try with his.

"Just so you know... I'm glad we're at this point."

[𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐞 ⁝ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 @RageBloodFire]

I simply nodded.

Rebuilding bridges with Erik was a complicated path, but I could seem them both making an effort to reach out. I didn't mean the wounds didn't linger still, open and bleeding. Years of resentment wouldn't simply go away.

[𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑳𝒆𝒉𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓 @PirouetteOfIron]

It was evident. In another life, well before she knew of Erik's children, she was the same way. Reluctant to trust. Quick to assume the worst.

"Thank you. That... Means a lot. Truly."

I like pancakes. And waffles.

If she's up for it.

She can make a breakfast for the two of them, too.

Good. Great. Coffee it is. I'll... bring pastries.

She takes it slow approaching Lorna. She knows it's not easy but she's trying.

[𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐞 ⁝ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 @RageBloodFire]

"Sure. I mean... My father was, you know... Lucky to find you."

There's a small smile in return, hesitant, unsure of intentions. Experience made me wary of people's motivations.

[𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑳𝒆𝒉𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓 @PirouetteOfIron]

"Yeah, guess it does... But I'll take my small moments where I can get them. Or where they're welcome."

She gave her a small smile, the indication that her approach was cautious.

[𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐞 ⁝ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 @RageBloodFire]

"I don't really remember my mom. She dïed when I was little, so… guess that makes two of us."

A pause.

"...Yeah. Happy Mother's Day."

[𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑳𝒆𝒉𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓 @PirouetteOfIron]

𐙚 mother's day. it's somewhat bittersweet, not having recollection of my own mother. but even without my own children, I feel the joy she must've felt because of these three. eternally thankful to be their stepmother.

And yeah, we'll get there. I think...

I'm not really good at this family thing...

She does.

They will connect soon. She's heard great things.

I mean, she knows where to find me.

I'm available to talk if she wants to. Same with my father.

Sounds about right!

Soon enough, they're going to need to chit chat more.

This earned her an awkward thank you when we met at the wedding, but she could certainly see the necklace being worn throughout the ceremony.

Having family felt... odd. Still adjusting to the whole revelation.

But... Merry and Marry Christmas to her.

And me, the bar... I need a drink.
