"Laurel, come on, don't stomp away, it's raining." He said as he got out of the car and walked after her.
She kept on walking, despite being followed, and didn't look back. "You don't understand, it's not that easy to just give everything up. I don't want to just be a mother."
"Who said you had to 'just be a mother' because it certainly wasn't me." He said as he took her hand.
She stopped almost immediately and turned around to look him in the eyes with a bit of fire still in her eyes. "Like you would stay home with our child? We fight crime, Ollie. It's not easy to just have a baby. We have responsibilities."
"I know," He said as he brought her fingers to his lips so he could brush them gently with kisses. There was nothing that would make him happier than her swollen with his child, but he knew that she was going to want to stay on the team. And then she would want to bounce back when the little one was out. And he couldn't be selfish. "And for your information, I'd totally stay home and love our child if you wanted me too."
"You think we can do it?" She asked.
He nodded. He did. He wanted more than anything thing to be a parent because he could give the legacy to someone else. And he loved her. There would be no one else he wanted to be a partner with on this, it was only her. "Yeah, I think we can." He said with a smile, "but only if you want to."
"Then, yes, Ollie, yes." She said as she jumped into his arms and he wrapped his around her back. "We're gonna be parents and that's gonna be crazy. God, are we crazy?"
He chuckled a little. "Yeah, we are crazy, but it's gonna work,"
"It better, because you're gonna have to deal with me when I can't have caffeine and god knows, I'll be a bear. You'll probably have to deal with the rest of the team," She told him with a bit of a grin.
His eyes widened as he thought about the future that he had coming. "Is it to late to reconsider?" He chuckled as his eyes came back down, in a clear sign of jest.
Laurel kissed the side of his neck, "I love you, Ollie," She said into his ear and pushed her wet hair back.
He beamed up at her, "I love you too, Laur, but can we go back to the car?" He asked, "because soaking wet is not either of our best looks,"
Laurel shrugged. "I don't know, you love any look I rock. And you look pretty good too. Maybe we should just stay like this," She said as she stuck her bottom lip out.
"Laurel, please," He pleaded.
Laurel nodded as she took his face in her hands, "One thing first though," She told him, smiling like an idiot.
He looked at her, "What, m'lady?" He asked.
"Our first rain kiss," She said as she kissed him in the rain.
He felt her lips on his and he couldn't be happier. She was happy. That was the most important thing to him. He knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making her happy. And their first rain kiss made her happy.
