i've come too far to turn around

“It was nice.” Nate stated slowly, easing up from the restraints and curling against her body with another long sigh. Completely winded, he rested on her, closer his eyes and mumbling back, “You’re so cute when you take control. It’s so sexy, and I’m not going to ever forget it baby girl. You are far too good for me. I can’t believe this is our life, and we can do this whenever we want.”

Her fingers went straight for his hair, running through his locks as she looked over him. “If you liked it, we can switch it up more. Let us both take the lead from time to time. You know I love getting to call you daddy when you’re really rough with me.”

“If only life were that simple. Trust me, if I didn’t have to put up with it, I wouldn’t. But sometimes we have to do the thing we don’t want to anyways. Are you saying you’ll take care of me. Considering I’ll be here until you, I guess it wouldn’t make too much of a difference if I drank myself silly tonight. Let’s start off with a vodka soda, then we’ll work our way up to shots. I don’t know, you haven’t seen me completely wasted before either, your opinion might change. A shower might not be too bad, but a shower with me might be a lot more fun.”

“Life can be funny that way, but you know you can always come here too and get away. As long as if I’m here of course, the other bartender isn’t nearly as fun. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t look out for you? Plus you deserve to have a good night where you don’t have to worry for once. Just you, me and a handful of other people to make a fool out of yourself in front of. Shots can be the last hoorah before we leave. Maybe I’ll even take one with you, but you can’t tell anyone. I might take you up on that offer. We’ll see how drunk you get because I’m not going to take advantage of you if you’re wasted.”

“Well, I’m not attempting to go through it alone Ferb. And you know I would support you if you were pregnant too. Thank you for being there for me. And…I know he needs to know…I just have to…set up something for us to talk.”

“No, I guess you aren’t because you have me. Do you need any help with that? I could always try and talk to him, or just be there when you go to tell him so you aren’t alone.”

“We are a team, and we…make a pretty damn good one too. I don’t think things like this ever are easy…but…I don’t think the apartment is too bad right now. We can make this work. I guess once we get closer to…having it..maybe we can start figuring out our next moves too. I’ll finish…college…and find a job.”

“I think we make a pretty damn good one too. The apartment definitely isn’t bad, and it’ll do with a crib and stuff added in. It’ll be a little tight but what isn’t around here. We’re both going to finish college and be able to work. Nothing’s going to stop us from graduating unless we let it. Maybe...maybe I can reach out to my family and see if a grandchild will change anything and we can get some help.”
