“ I guess so, I think i could handle that. ” Lizzie nodded her head lightly. It was nice to just be able to talk for a moment without getting herself so upset. a soft smile appeared on her lips towards his comment, as she looked away for a moment. Then the younger female kept her pace up matching his. “ I bet it was a lot, but also most rewarding in the end. you got to be that dad you always wanted to be. oh I can only imagine how excited your mom was knowing that she was getting a grandchild. that’s got to be such an exciting time… I can only imagine… though, I’m sorry the second one is a bit harder on you guys. ” She didn’t know what was going on in his life but she wasn’t going to budge him into telling her these things. considering they were just coming back into each other’s lives. “ I hope that it gets better for you, i don’t know what you’re going through.. but yeah. ”
When he had talked about Loki coming back for another season, she figured that must be exciting considering during wandavision she was able to have a chance of the same thing, even if it was for a little bit of time. “ You are welcome, I think that it’s exciting that they are putting Loki out there more… we missed out on some cool things during the whole avenger’s era. so hopefully they pull that together for you. well at least I’m here now, might have taken years but here we are. ” Elizabeth knew that she would regret asking that question, but she couldn’t help but be curious about him and what she had missed. a soft laugh escaping her lips as he bumped her shoulder. “ I was just curious, that’s all. ” she spoke before putting the coffee up to her lips. " oh gosh, I’m so sorry I didn’t know that. that is a lot and no wonder why it’s hard— I mean I’m so sorry, that’s just got to be rough. “ she didn’t know how to come about it, her free hand slipping into her jacket pocket. Elizabeth knew what it was like to be completely heartbroken and wish to change things for the better. that’s when the question of some of her exes, she shook her head. ” Well there was Robbie, he was a good one, but the Rockstar life and I never fully went hand in hand. I wanted something calmer like if I ever got to that point, I wouldn’t always be so by myself — i understood in the beginning, but then I knew it wouldn’t change… so we aren’t together anymore, so there’s that. “ the blonde shrugged her shoulders. ” life kind of sucks in that way. “
“Well, she has a ten-year-old granddaughter thanks to Sarah, but I’ve always been the kid that just took to babies or younger kids, out of us three the most. She knew how much I’ve always wanted my own. It felt like my whole future was right within reach for once, beyond my career.” Tom corrected with gentle shrugs occasionally. His mind couldn’t help but wander over how things might have turned out had he not left Lizzie like the complete and utter fool he was, and part of him wanted to apologize profusely yet again, but he didn’t want to cause another argument when things seemed to be going well. “Do you see yourself becoming a mother?” Tom asked, awkwardly scratching at the fresh stubble peaking out along his jawline. He resided to giving Lizzie a gentle squeeze along the back of her forearm in response.
“Honestly, I’ve never expected it from the start, I’ve always been content with the idea of portraying a side character because it was for such a huge franchise and amongst a well respected cast and crew, some of my heroes included. When I sit and think about it, I really can’t believe it. I’ve been very lucky and very blessed.” Tom said. “We missed out? What do you mean by that?” He redirected, looking directly at the blonde. “I know,” He sighed. “and I would start immediately apologizing again but I think you’ve heard enough for the day,” An amused chuckle escaped, and then another after he pulled a laugh out of Lizzie herself. “It’s all right, it’s not really something I walk around sharing with everyone, so how could’ve you known?” He shrugged slightly, keeping silent as he listened to Lizzie share her own stories about recently failed relationships. “I understand…dating and maintaining careers and busy schedules in our industry can be really tough, love…I think we went down that path of realization before, seven-eight years ago.” Tom chuckled quietly, “It can, yes, but I’m sure you’ll find the right partner, and at least you know now exactly what you need in a relationship. That’s something at least, and you’ll be least likely to waste your time with a bunch of arseholes - such as yours truly.”
