Sander/Donny:

You're scared of that, aren't you?

Sander was trying to study. The emphasis being on trying. His beloved husband was pacing the living room, one hand on his stomach. Sander's eyes were drawn to said stomach. It was still flat, but both of them knew that there was a baby growing inside of Donny. Their baby. Their first baby.

"My Dark Sea?", asked Sander tentatively, putting his book down. "What's on your mind? Tell me."

"What if I'm a terrible mom?", asked Donny as he continued pacing.

"…What?", grunted Sander stunned. "Where did that come from?"

"I was a terrible big brother! What makes anyone think I would be a good mom?"

"You're not a terrible big brother!", disagreed Sander with a frown.

"Oh please", snorted Donny with a glare. "I was so selfish and self-centered, pulling the blanket over my head and pushing my responsibilities as big brother over to Thess. W–What if I do the same with the baby? What if I just… pull the blanket over my head and leave the parenting to you?"

"You… think you'll fail them. You're scared of that", muttered Sander stunned, staring at his lover. "You're scared of that, aren't you? Of… failing our baby."

Taking a deep breath, Sander got up and walked over to Donny, wrapping his arms around Donny's waist to hold him in place. "Hades Poseidon di Angelo, you will not talk like that about my husband. Your depression wasn't selfish. It wasn't your choice to suffer from it. It wasn't your choice to be overwhelmed and afraid of the responsibility. It wasn't your choice that Bianca Maria leaving only made you more afraid."

Donny opened his mouth to say something but Sander rested a finger against his lips. "I know you currently have a good grip on things, but I am also aware that you weren't miraculously cured from your depression and your anxiety. I know it might rear its head again at any given time. I know pressure and responsibility trigger you and make you more afraid. But you… you saved the world, my love. So… so I know you will be able to handle our first child. And even if not, I am here for you. I am here for our baby and for you. We will do this together and we'll do good."

"We… will", mumbled Donny unsure.

"We will", declared Sander firmly. "And Sammy, Derek and Trend will help us if we need it. So will our parents and our siblings. Everything will be alright, love."
