Pull me closer, closer

Seeing the way he rubbed his face, she knew that it was quite possible that this could all start a fight between them. That’s how it had felt lately. Anytime she pushed, it started something. And she felt like she’d been walking around on eggshells. Like she had to somehow to do something that would prove herself to him. “No, I’m not blaming you for anything. I know that this is all my fault. Believe me, I know,” She began, knowing she needed to have more patience. But it still felt like they were so distant. “And I want to give you all the time you need, but I just need to know that this...you and me...is still something you want. Because right now, it feels like it’s the most painful thing in the world to you. Just tell me you want us together and I’ll drop it and keep just trying to show you that I’m not going to go anywhere this time.”

Sitting down beside him, her brow creased as she listened to him, Cara could feel her heart breaking for Oliver. It was different now though. While once she only wanted to help him because she could see he was struggling. Now she was here because she had fallen in love with him. Even after all he told her, Cara had stuck around, determined to show him what true love was--not the tainted, dark version of it that he had learned as a child. But that which came from sacrificial, unconditional love that was pure and true. Taking his hand, she frowned for a moment, her eyes down on the ground as he finished and she looked up to him. “What do you need, Oli? What do you need from me to help you? I’ll do anything to make you feel better.” @fixaticn

He had been avoiding this ever since they found out that there was a possibility of complications during delivery. Jason had been trying to avoid planning for after the birth, terrified of what might happen if he were to lose Kennedy or their daughter or even worse--both. His fears had kept him from fully supporting her, showing her that he was going to be here for her through it all, even it scared him to death. And so while she was off with her family, he got some pink paint and put together the nursery in the apartment. Setting up the crib and bringing in an old rocker that he found at a thrift store, he put up a few pictures, made the bed in the crib and put a cute little elephant in the crib then shut the door just as she sent a text that she was on her way up. Hearing the front door open, he walked out to her, smiling just a little when he saw her, knowing it would be any day now and though that made his heart stop a beat, terrified of what would happen on that day, he still hoped this gesture would show her that he was a man that was worthy of her. “Hey, so I got a surprise to show you. Wanna see it?” @fixaticn

“Good mor--” Eve came into the kitchen to greet Matthew, being cut off by a quick kiss before he walked around her. Ever since they got back together, things hadn’t been like they were and as much as they both promised they were trying, Eve felt like she was in this alone. She couldn’t blame him though. She had really ruined things last time by ending things so quickly and out of the blue, putting up a guard and not trusting what she had with Matthew. And now, it was a matter of earning his trust back, but she couldn’t do that if things were going to keep being so withdrawn between them. “Matthew,” She turned, following after him, reaching to try to grab his hand to keep him from going too far. “I don’t want us to be like this. It’s not us.” @fixaticn
