#gracland: denver ft sophie 01

[misaligncd]

denver wished that he could be more calm and level headed. however, she had thrown him for a loop. especially since he had been doing his best to accept everything. all it had taken was one night where their emotions got to them and alcohol had been involved. he forced himself to take a deep breath," i know," he paused in order to take a deep breath," this is something we always used to talk about before things got so messy." he knew that he didn't want to pressure her given it was fully her choice. it would feel impossible to figure out but he knew that he would be there for her, no matter what. he also understood if she didn't want to keep it considering they were supposed to be finalizing their separation," what-i know this might be insane-but what if-if we try again? nothing has been filed yet or signed, i know our problems are still problems but we can, try again."

the last thing sophie wanted to do was make denver feel guilty for the way he was reacting to this bombshell of an announcement. she didn't blame him; it was both their faults for not being careful. that drunken hookup after they had already separated was coming back to bite them in the ass, alcohol severely clouding their judgment. "i'm gonna be so honest... i don't know what i want to do. when we were dating and planning our future together, all i ever wished for was a family. and now that the timing isn't right, does that mean i should just... get rid of it? i feel like this is a lose-lose situation." if she decided to keep it, she'd be raising the child in a broken home before they were even born, and if not, then what if she lost her only chance to have a child?

"we-we were careful," protested denver, knowing that he was reacting poorly. it was the last thing that he imagined happening. especially since they were about to sign divorce papers. the last thing he imagined was seeing one pregnancy test, let alone multiple showing a positive result. he was doing his best to not panic and feeling like he was failing," that this makes shit a lot more complicated than it already was," he paused," but i'm-i'm not going anywhere, if you want this-it's your choice-but i'll support you."

she huffed out a frustrated sigh, "i don't know what more proof do you need. it's all right there." pointing at the coffee table, there laid half a dozen different pregnancy tests, all glaringly positive. "believe me, i didn't ask for this." sophie ran a hand through her dark brown tresses, the circles around her eyes so dark from barely getting a wink of sleep since she found out she was with child. with the person she was divorcing from. "what are you thinking?"
