Here We Go Again || Puckleberry

No matter how many times Rachel told him this time he would be okay, there was that little part of him that doubted her. And that was only because of his past history with full moons and transformations. They’re not fun, at all. Could you blame him for doubting her even the tiniest bit? He just really wished there was some way that he didn’t have to do this every month, that this could all just go away. But it couldn’t, and it won’t. Ever. For some reason though, the little smile she had on her face as they stood in his living room before he was about to go get set up made him feel better. She truly believed that he was going to be okay, and that was enough to make him believe her more than he did two seconds ago. There will always be that slight bit of fear that ran through him of the possibilities of what could go wrong, they would never go away. But there was just something about being with Rachel right now, especially with the way she was looking at him, that made him honestly, one hundred percent believe that he will make it through this with just a few scratches and nothing more. It felt good to feel that for once, he wants to feel it more often.

He let his backpack fall from his shoulder to the floor, letting go of it and walking over to her again. It was like the fifteenth time he’s said goodbye to her, only to walk back over to her and do it all over again. It’s just, everything’s different now. Now that he knows she’s pregnant, he knows the atmosphere between them has changed. In a good way. He hugged her for a moment, burying his face in her hair. “I’ll be back in a few hours,” He said to her, promising her pretty much. ‘Cause he knew that no matter what, he was going to come back. It wasn’t just Rachel that he was coming back to anymore, it was the little sea monkey inside her that was theirs. He pulled away and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before bending at his knees to get his backpack. It was on his way up, after he slung it over his shoulder, that he instinctively reached forward and bracketed her hips, pushing up on the fabric of her shirt to expose her stomach. Without a second thought or hesitation, he leaned forward and pressed a light kiss to it. He then stood up, dropping a final kiss to her forehead before turning around and heading for the back door.
