all too well

-trying his hardest to keep smiling, he nods some, unable to help the small ache in his chest- Yeah, yeah you’re right. An’ Jasper’ll be home and we can all carry on like before, right? Before any o’ this mess even started.. an’ I’ll be a Dad again an’ everythin’ll be okay.

-soothingly rubs her back- Sweetie, when people say everything’s going to be fine, they mean in the long run. It hasn’t been enough time for things to be fine or even okay. The wounds still open and you still have the right to hurt until you feel that the wounds ready heal Faye. 

Everything is just... It's shit. It's so unbelievably shit. -leaning back slightly, she looks up at the blonde with tears welling in her eyes, a shaky breath escaping her as it does- And it shouldn't be like this anymore.

-his arms feeling unfortunately empty, he retracts his hands back into his pockets, smiling wistfully at the picture of Faye and her daughter. upon her remark, he looks up, almost hopeful- Y’think so?

-she nods, the first genuine smile she's had in weeks showing- Mhmm. Best there was. -moving a little closer- And when he's home, you'll be perfect all over again... So just keep gettin' better, yeah?

I’d like that, y’know, but y’should take her back before I go all Rumpelstiltskin on ya’ and take her away for good. -chuckling softly, he smiles down at Lizzie briefly before holding the baby out back toward her mother- 

-frowns upon hearing the other girls name. steps closer and wraps her arms around Faye- I know Faye. You probably miss her more than anyone here. 

-holding her tightly in turn, she feels her breath coming slightly quicker- Everyone they just.. They say everything's going to be fine, but I d-don't see how. How could anything be fine when someone can be here one minute and just gone the next..? It's not fine.
