A/N: So, I started writing this story nearly a year ago and it was the first thing I'd ever really written so I appreciate that it's not the best but it was a stepping stone that helped me to improve. I do feel like my more recent fanfics are better but you can never stop improving and I just wanted to bring this to a close so it could stop haunting me. Bear in mind that I have had most of this chapter already written out for almost a year, I just added to it.

Lorcan:

After Elide's confession, Lorcan didn't sleep a wink. His mind was reeling and catastrophising the whole situation until he thought that his hammering heartbeat would wake Elide up.

Why now? He would have bet all his money that it was Aelin's idea. She would have been filling Elide's head about how great it would be if both of their children grew up together and then they would have planned their whole futures until they got married!

Lorcan would be the one walking them down the aisle if it was a girl, Lorcan be the one who'd be worried about them when they were a teenager and at a party.

No! Why was he thinking about this?

Babies brought nappies, poo, sick, drama and unnecessary stress.

But there was also the good stuff too.

These thoughts circled his mind until they spiralled and hit a part in him that he didn't even know he had.

He had made a decision.

Elide:

Elide had woken up early and was currently brushing her teeth in the bathroom while the others still slept.

Just as she was lifting her head after spitting out the toothpaste, she happened to glance in the mirror and it showed a disheveled, ruggedly handsome Lorcan.

Elide hastily wiped her mouth, turned around and tried to act casual. Of course when anyone tries to look casual they just end up coming across as gauche.

He opened his mouth as if to say something but Elide wasn't ready to hear the rejection just yet so pushed past him and when she got into the room, Rowan was dressed and sat on the edge of the bed while Aelin, still in bed, rubbed her eyes and said, "you should be glad i'm past the morning sickness stage."

Elide:

They had been in the car for about half an hour when Aelin made Rowan pull over in a petrol station because she needed the toilet.

The whole ride had been slightly awkward in Elide's opinion, or maybe she had just imagined it.

Rowan and Aelin had been conversing as usual, the only remarks that came from Lorcan were almost always snide but they came few with far between. Elide would have usually scolded Lorcan for such things but her mind was too preoccupied.

Maybe she shouldn't have broached the subject as she did. It doesn't matter anyway, all she could do was wait for his answer.

Lorcan:

Aelin told Rowan to pull over at a petrol station so she could get to the toilet and for once, Lorcan was glad of her complaining. Rowan followed her inside to get some snacks for the rest of the ride and Elide stepped outside the car because she said that she wanted to stretch her injured leg that sometimes cramped when she kept it in one position for too long.

Lorcan got out of the car too. He was going to tell Elide how he felt.

She looked over at him where he was coming around the car to her side, she continued to stretch her ankle.

"Yes," she lifted her head and looked at him incredulously, "I've been thinking about it and… I would like nothing more to have a baby with you."

Elide dived on him, his hands wrapping around his neck as he pulled her up off the ground.
