Cosgrach kissed back and smiled at her. "You're my sunshine," he said. She was good to him. She was the greatest woman he'd ever met.
At the question, he nodded with a smile. "I am..." but he trailed off, and a frown took over the smile. He... didn't even know... wasn't even sure, if... "I don't know if I can be a good father, though." From the start, that is. A fresh beginning with a baby, because he wasn't there with the hardest phase of the girls. Did she think he'd be a good father? What if she didn't!? What if -
He focused on her words instead of worrying, because that would bring him nowhere.
"I'll be with you in every appointment," he said. This was their baby, no matter how simple the appointments would be, he wanted to be with her. And they sounded exciting too! Hearing the heart beats, the gender... "Can't we know the gender sooner?" he asked sheepishly. He was too impatient! Did he want a girl, or a boy? HMM. He didn't know. He'd have to think about it.
First trimester, got it. The girls would be excited... He smiled, and kept it even when she mentioned Bart. "I'm sure he'll be excited too. This baby couldn't have had a better big brother." And he meant what he said. Bart was bigger now, so he would be more responsible too.
