"I'm gonna go pick it up." Toby says, getting up from the couch.
"You sure? Doesn't your arm hurt?"
"It's not that bad. I'm fine. Love you" He kisses her head and goes to pick up their pizza.
Once the door is closed Happy remembers her days alone. Toby has really saved her from herself. Sure she feels like she can't walk around in her underwear anymore even though Toby would gladly welcome that.
She didn't like living alone because it was so lonely even for her. Thoughts of her past could come so easily and she just wanted it to stop. She didn't have those haunting thoughts all the time now because of Toby.
Some time spent alone was still something she liked on occasion. She thought about being a mom. Something that had been on her mind a lot lately. She felt a need to have a baby but had doubts because of her personality.
The thoughts of Toby holding their baby and watching him take care of them brought a smile to her face. It was logical. A woman that makes a baby is attracted to her partner because of how protective and mature he becomes. Toby would be great at the responsibility and getting rid of some if not most of his child like tendencies.
She lays back on the couch, looking around and seeing images of a baby growing up. She can see Toby playing with a 5 year old, her rocking a newborn to sleep, and a 7 year old doing their homework at the table.
It's the family she wants. The one she's dreamed about since she was 4 years old. The difference was the parents in her mind became her husband and herself.
She stood and walked around the apartment. The happy images of her family moved around. The kitchen table showed them eating dinner. Her eyes turned towards the living room she saw Toby on the couch with her cuddled to his chest like always but in her arms she held a baby. A tear rolled down her face. She really wanted to see this family become real.
Toby came in calling out in the old 50s fashion. "Honey I'm Home!" Happy tried to stop her tears. She felt way to emotional right now.
She thought of him coming back from a run to the grocery store and a kid running up to him. Toby placed the pizza down and realized that his wife was just standing in the kitchen.
"Happy?" Her back was to him. He didn't know yet that she was crying.
She turned and ran to his arms the short 4 feet between them. He wrapped his arms around her. She let the tears roll down his and he heard her tears and rubbed her back.
"Honey Bear?"
"I'm scared that I'm not ever gonna get pregnant."
"Happy it's gonna be alright. We need to be positive."
"I have been."
"It's gonna be alright."
