You don't hear him come in but you hear the familiar hum, the rustling of clothes, humming getting closer and finally you feel the bed dip, the covers being lifted off you and the warmth of them replaced by Alastor's arms.
He pulls you close, "Did I wake you up darling?"
"Yeah." You turn in his arms, a sleep smile on your face, "But I don't mind. How was work?" You nestle close to his chest, his chin resting on the top of your head.
Alastor hums, "More fun than usual actually. I may or may not be getting my own show some time in the near future."
Suddenly you were no longer sleepy. You almost tackled him, making him groan as you straddled his hips, took your face in your hands and kissing him rapidly.
"Al! That's amazing! Were you gonna wait until tomorrow to tell me?"
"Well I simply didn't want to wake you up sweetheart." Alastor places his hands over yours, his smile splitting his face, "Since you've found out, perhaps tomorrow I can take you out to dinner to celebrate."
You lay your body over his, thinking briefly about the offer, "That sounds nice, but actually I'd like it if we stayed inside and made something together."
"Ah, I understand. Do you want to go shopping tomorrow then?" His hands fall on your back, massaging your muscles, lulling you to an almost sleep.
"Anything is good. But I was referring to... well... I was wondering what you thought about adding another little member to our family?" His hands stopped, his breathing stopped, only for a moment, followed by a deep exhale.
"Darling, are you saying that you're-"
"No, no! Not yet. Or at all if you don't want to. But I just thought it might be nice to think about it. We don't have to decide by tomorrow. God, I kind of sprung this on you huh?" You turn his face into his chest, hiding your blush despite it being dark in the room.
He chuckles, "Not at all. I'm willing to think about it." His hands start moving again, melting your worries away, "I would love to add a new member to our family." You couldn't hold back a gasp, almost a choked sob as you felt Alastor press a kiss to your forehead, "Sleep now, I've already taken some of your precious rest. We can talk more in the morning."
Just like that you felt light, happy beyond compare, almost floating, only held back by Alastor's arms around you as you sank back into that dreamy void.
