Tomorrow Never Knows

[cherry1]

Her eyelids fluttered shut when he pressed his lips to her forehead, smiling at the contact. Allowing the intimacy to calm her rather than confuse or unnerve her. Because that’s just what Bellamy did. He calmed her down and made her feel okay. Safe. In a way she hadn’t felt in ages perhaps ever. He was getting better at it the more this pregnancy progressed. Or maybe she was just getting better at accepting it. While intimacy was never usually her strong suit, in that moment she embraced the feeling, washing over her body and soul like a healing salve. While Raven didn’t want to admit aloud just yet…she needed him. Bellamy had become such an integral part of her life, the thought of doing this alone was just one she refused to even think about.

His smile was infectious, spreading to her face as she smiled back at him. It was such a pure moment, Raven could live in it forever. So she etched it into her memory, each crease, each dimple and that light in his eyes. Light that she knew was reflecting into her own. “A surprise?” Her tone was…skeptical. She didn’t much like surprises, preferring to be in control of everything around her. Her reaction to her pregnancy and their ‘surprise’ baby sufficient evidence of that. Surprises, especially in her line of work…were very rarely a good thing. But Raven wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. “I’m gonna trust you here, Bellamy,” she said teasingly raising an eyebrow as she lowered her shirt and slowly pushed herself off the examination table. Leaning slightly on the older male before she found her footing on the ground. Walking with him towards the door and out of this place.

“Oh shit, Abby.” Her eyes wide, Raven had completely forgotten about her in her panicked state. “I’m so sorry,” for keeping her waiting during her whole freak out. But the doctor was as gracious as ever. Reassuring her that everything was fine and to get plenty of rest before scheduling their next appointment, giving Raven a small hug before letting her go. A smile and a glint in her eyes when she watched them walk away. “So what are you gonna show me?” She asked when they finally left, a smirk on her lips like she could trick him into telling her by catching him off guard.
