So crazy how long they’ve been together
not just engaged
but dating
all of it added up
Sigh…
he should love the snow

“Not dating,” he said smoothly, pulling Addie closer. “Engaged.”
He would gladly scream it to the world that Addie is going to be his wife.
didn’t even let her say it first

“That I’ll get to call you my husband soon annnnnd that I get to say I’m your wife in just a few months.
He can’t wait for that
would be the best day of her life…

He truly feels like the luckiest person in the world to be able to call her his, for the rest of his life
i’m so sorry leo
i hate knowing that won’t happen

Hell, I’ll find a way to make it snow in July if you want.”
Anything she wants, he’ll always do everything to find a way
It’s the way I know he would

“You’ve got me, love,” Leo murmured against her hair. “Always.”
She has him until the day he dies
DONT SAY THAT

The bathroom floor was cold beneath her, the tiles unforgiving against her skin as Addie sat in the dark. The only light came from the faint glow of the moon filtering through the window, casting soft shadows across the room. Her knees were pulled to her chest, her arms wrapped around them tightly as if holding herself together would stop the world from spinning.
Oh no
…
she’s having a mental break down

Dozens of pregnancy tests lay scattered around her like fallen soldiers, each one boldly displaying the same result: positive.
So many…
She bought one
and it was positive
and then she went and bought every brand
and they’re all positive…

Its possible it could’ve been stress… but odds of that weren’t high…

She could’ve had Leo there with her, so she wouldn’t be alone
He’s with his dad
His dad came in for a surprise inspection or something
she wasn’t going to bother him…

She was supposed to go to college after the wedding. That was the plan—finish her degree, make a name for herself in politics, change the world. She’d taken a year off for the wedding, for Leo, but after that, it was supposed to be her time. She was supposed to make waves, to show the world who Adelaide Parker was beyond the royal title, beyond the legacy.
That can still happen.
Leo will make sure of it.
She’d believe that until… what happens next…

He hadn’t even been thinking about kids either…
It was a distant possibility, if ever.
Well…
here comes 2
not one
but two

Did he want this? Did he want kids?
He didn’t, but if Addie wants kids he’ll choose to have kids with her.
Even if the idea of being a father is terrifying.

Would Leo even be happy? Would he be ready? Was she fcking ready?
He’s not ready, but they could deal with it together.

She couldn’t see him being anything but supportive
Supportive is exactly what he’ll be. Nothing less, regardless of what she wants.
That also scares her. leo’s so hard to read sometimes even when he is being supportive of her.

Definitely terrified too.
That one he can’t try to hide to comfort her. It will be pure terror.
But his priority will always be Addie and making sure she’s happy
And if that means being happy with her for this, that’s how he’ll be.
Oh leo
she’s so sorry
she should have been more careful

She hadn’t let herself think it before, but now the thought was screaming at her, louder than anything else: I don’t want this. Not now.
And if that;s the case, all she has to do is tell him
how is she supposed to when she hears him say what he says next?
