Pov y/n

Scarlett and I stroll through the park and just enjoy the winter sun. Our hands are linked and even through the gloves I can feel the warmth from hers in mine. Rose is at her dad's today, so we have some time to ourselves. Her laughter fills my ear as she shakes her head.

"No way." She says between laughs and looks at me in disbelieve. I nod.

"I did. Even though I love the twins, I wasn't so happy about them after they were born, especially since I thought I would only get one sibling. So, I asked my Mom to return one of them as my birthday present." I explain and laugh with Scar as she shakes her head in disbelief again.

"But who did you want to send back?" She asks and looks at me. I try to remember.

"I think it was Marla because she cried a lot when she was a baby and it was so annoying. Bennett was calmer, so I didn't mind him that much." I tell her with a grin, remembering that discussion with my parents.

"And when did you start enjoying her be there?" Scarlett asks further and chuckles a little to herself.

"I think when she was around one and a half because then I was able to play with them and they cried a little bit less." I tell her and see her eyes sparkle with amusement.

"I guess they can be happy you never tried to send them somewhere else via post." She jokes and I scrunch my face up a little in guilt.

Her eyes grow big and she lightly hits my shoulder.

"Y/n!" She exclaims, somewhere between a laugh and a scold. I hold my hands up in defense.

"What? I never actually send them, I just put them into a carton to see of they'd fit and they did." I add and Scar looks at me a little in disbelief.

"I wouldn't have sent them away, that would have been too expensive." I mumble and get a playful glare from my girlfriend.

"But speaking of, when is your birthday?" She asks, changing the topic. I think for a few seconds before I answer.

"In three days."

We come to an abrupt halt as Scarlett stops walking and pulls me to stop with that. I turn around to her as she looks at me with a mix of surprise and shock.

"Your birthday is in three days?!" She asks and I nod slowly.

"Yeah but it's not a big deal, I'm not planning on doing anything." I tell her and tug on her hand to get her going again but she refuses.

"It still is a big deal. It's my girlfriend's birthday." She disagrees and I smile a little.

"True but it's not like I'm doing anything." I tell her and kiss her cheek in an attempt to stop the pout that's forming on her lips.

"Babeee." She almost whines and I smile softly at her.

"I wanna be with you on your birthday and I'm sure, so does Rose." She says and slowly starts walking again.

"I will be working anyway, so there's not really time to spend together before my shifts end." I try to reason but she just grumbles something.

"How about Rose and I wait for you at your place with prepared dinner?" She offers and I hum in thought, that actually sounds nice.

"I like that idea. But won't it be too much of an effort for you?" I worry but she shakes her head with a little huff.

"Are you kidding me? That's the least I can do when I can't spend the whole day with you." She declines and pulls me a little closer to her to wrap an arm around my waist.

I smile at the action and put one around her shoulders.

"Okay, then I'm okay with it." I agree and she smiles smugly and kisses my cheek before a little frown appears on her face.

"Can I come to the shop that day to pick up your keys then? Because cooking will be hard when I'm on the street in front of your apartment."

I giggle a little at that observation before I shake my head and grab into my jacket pocket. When I pull out a keychain, Scar looks at me with raised eyebrows. I take my hand from her shoulder to get two of the keys off and hold them up for her. She looks from the keys to me in confusion.

"You'll need those to get back into your apartment." She says and pushes my hand gently away but I shake my head.

"No, this is a second set of keys that I got for when Flo was staying over. I have mine still on the key chain." I explain and hold them for her to take.

She eyes them for a few more seconds before her lips curl into a smile and she takes them, quickly putting them on her own key chain. Her fingers interlock with mine again once she's done and she smiles happily while we continue our way.

"Anything specific you want for your birthday dinner?" She asks but I shake my head.

"I'm good with everything, you could even buy me some fries from the street and I'd be happy." I answer and she nudges my side with our hands.

"I won't get you fries from some shop on the street for your birthday, I'll come up with something." She says and drifts off into her own thoughts, making me smile.

We walk in silence and I squint my eyes a little when the sun shines directly into our faces but it's warming my face a little, which feels nice.

When we find a bench in the sun, we decide to sit down and just look around the park a little. Her head rests on my shoulder and she mindlessly plays with my fingers as our hands rest on her thigh.

A family walks past us and I smile, watching the dad chasing his little daughter around as the toddler runs away from him while giggling.

She's wearing an adorable snowsuit and winter boots, a hat on her head to keep her warm as well as little gloves.

My heart melts at the sight and sound of her.

Behind them there is, probably, the mother, pushing a stroller and I catch a glimpse of a little baby, sleeping peacefully.

The squeal of the little girl makes me turn my head and I watch as her father picks her up and peppers her face in kisses.

It almost feels like my uterus is clenching a little at the sight and it reminds me of the wish to have kids myself at some point.

When the family is further down the way, Scarlett sighs a little and I look at her, seeing she is also watching the little family.

"I miss the times when Rose was that age." She says and I can tell that she is currently in her memories.

"Which one? The baby or the toddler age?" I ask and divert my attention completely to Scar. She hums a little before smiling longingly.

"Both." She answers and meets my eyes. I smile and kiss her lips softly.

"Maybe one day you'll have another one." I think out loud and see her eyes sparkling.

"I would love that but I don't know, I would want it to be a stable relationship and a partner I can count on because I won't raise two children all by myself. Besides, I'm not sure how Rose would react." She shares her thoughts and I nod slowly.

"All reasonable points." I agree and now she nods.

"What about you? Do you want a baby?" She asks and tilts her head in question.

"I do, actually. I always wanted to have children and a family. Most likely two or three children, so they could play with one another. We could go on family trips to the zoo or theme parks or the beach. And at night, we could all cuddle together and watch movies until we fall asleep." I start to dream and get lost in my thoughts for a few seconds before coming back to reality. Scarlett's eyes are soft as she watches me and she cups my face.

"That is a very sweet and wonderful thought." She agrees and I lean into her touch, nodding.

"Did you ever think about how many children you'd want?" I ask.

"I did. If I could choose, I would probably also have around two or three children. I would love for Rose to have a sibling to play with and goof around." She answers and her eyes start to light up at that thought.

We stay silent for a few minutes, both deep in thought and my eyes stare into nothingness. The soft strokes of Scar's thumb over my cheek bring me back to reality and I smile softly at the woman in front of me.

"Would you want the child to be yours or would you also adopt?" She asks and lets go of my cheek to take my hand again.

I think about her question. So far I never really thought about adoption, I always pictured me or my current girlfriend or wife to get pregnant.

I know, technically, if the other partner would carry it, I'm not exactly related to the child and it would kind of be like adoption but I never thought of it that way.

That child would be mine just as much as hers and I would love it with all my heart. But I mean, why not think about adoption?

"I would be open to adoption, I think. But I would also like to carry a child myself, be a part of that process." I answer and receive a nod in response. "What about you?"

"Well, I have one biological child and I think I would want to do it again. I'm not saying that I wouldn't adopt, I would just want to try it myself before that, you know?" She looks at me in thought and I hum.

"Yeah, I get that." I agree and pull my lip between my teeth in thought.

When a sudden thought pops into my head, I am almost afraid to ask but I decide to do it anyway.

"I know, this is probably way too early but...would you consider, in the future, to have a child with me?" I ask and watch Scar's reaction carefully. She seems a little surprised by the question but seriously thinks about it.

"Honestly, I never thought about it because I've only ever been with men but you're right, two women can also have a child together." She answers slowly and I can almost see how the thoughts swirl around her head and for a few moments she dives into that swirl before she locks eyes with me and a smile appears on her lips.

"Yeah, I think I would consider that. It is a bit too early to seriously think about it but yes." She concludes and something inside me starts to get excited about that.

"That fits pretty good because I would consider that too." I almost whisper and for a few moments we hold eye contact.

"I think you will be a great mother." Scar says with a soft smile and her words truly make me happy.

"Thank you." I reply and lean forward to give her a sweet kiss that she returns.

"Maybe one day we will...you know." I say and start to fiddle with my fingers, nervous to say it out loud now.

"Have a child together?" She finishes and I nod but when she doesn't seem to find that a bad thing, I relax a little bit. "I'd like that."

The smile on my face grows and I get a warm, excited tingle in my stomach. This doesn't mean anything, I am aware of that but knowing she would agree with my future plans, also considering my future family plans, feels good and lets me hope that maybe we will build said future together.

I look into her eyes and see a glimpse of hope in them as well, which makes me smile even more.

After a few more minutes, we get up since it got cold with all the sitting and walk further through the park, talking about things we see and commenting on the ducks in the lake.

My phone interrupts our talk and I pull it out of my pocket to check it, probably a text from someone. When I open my phone, I see that it's an email and frown a little in confusion, I barely get any emails.

Scarlett notices my expression.

"What's the matter?" She asks and pulls me a little to the side, so we're not in the middle of the way.

"I got an email from an address that I don't know." I explain and she frowns as well before glancing at my phone. I open my mail app and then the mail and suddenly my heart beat picks up in excitement.

"It's from the organization I applied to for the job." I say quickly and now Scarlett also seems excited and glances over my shoulder to see my screen as well. My eyes scan the text and a few seconds later I let out a squeal and jump up and down.

"You got it?" Scarlett asks with hope in her eyes and I nod frantically, still jumping in joy.

"Congratulations, angel!" She says and when I stop jumping, she pulls me into a long hug.

"I knew you could do it and I'm so proud of you."

I grin at her in thanks, not able to say anything else.

I got the job! I will finally do what I hoped to do one day.

"Does it say anything else? Any important information?" She asks and I unlock my phone again to read over the email.

I will read it properly when we get home and then I will also click onto the link that's in the mail.

When I read over an information I overread before, I raise my eyebrows a little but continue to see if there's anything new.

But there isn't, except that they invite me to come in for a little chat to get to know me a little better and to eventually give me the contract.

I put my phone away again and take Scarlett's hand, continuing the walk because I got a boost of energy. The smile doesn't leave my face though and my body fills with joy and excitement.

"Looks like I have to move." I tell her what got me a little frowning.

"What?" She asks and almost sounds shocked. I brush my thumb over the back of her hand.

"Within New York." I add and she releases a breath.

Her reaction kinda makes me smile because it shows me how important I am to her but that's not the point right now.

"Their workplace is in Manhattan and therefore too far away from my apartment in Brooklyn." I explain further and see Scarlett more and more relaxing after the little moment of shock.

"So, you're gonna live closer to Rosie and me?" She asks, her voice giving away how happy that thought makes her. I nod slowly.

"Depends a little bit on where I'll find an apartment but yes, I guess so." I agree and she squeezes my hand two times in response, which makes me smile.

"You know..." She trails off and her other hand starts to run up and down my arm, so I stop and turn to her. Her eyes dart around a little before they meet mine.

"You could move in with us..." She offers almost shyly and my heart starts to beat faster.

Did she really just suggest to move in with her?

After around two months of being together?

That's quick but I mean, not so unusual for two women. Do I want to move in with them though?

I mean, of course, I love them both with my whole heart and I spend a lot of time with them but living together is different, it brings everything to another level. I want this relationship to last and hopefully eventually end with a bond for life but do I want this step now?

It would be a little different if there wasn't a kid involved because I also think about how Rose would react to all of this. Sure, she sees me as a parental figure and loves to spend time with me but would she want me to live with them?

And after all, I've come to New York to find myself and figure out who I want to be and even though I am on a good way, I think moving in with Scarlett would maybe take me a step back.

There will be the right day for us to move in together but it's not now, maybe after I've been in my new job for a while and figured out how my future there will look like and which chances I have. I feel a little bad for declining the offer but I think it's better for us if we wait a little while longer.

I take a deep breath and cup Scar's face with one hand before I slowly start to speak and explain which thought processes just happened in my head, leaving the parts with Rose out, for now.

Other than expected, I don't see disappointment wash over her face, I see understanding and she nods as she listens to me talk.

"It's okay, I totally understand that. It was just an idea but you are right, it might be better for you if you figure out what this job means to you and how far it can take you first." She agrees and there's not an ounce of doubt in her eyes, only genuine care. It almost makes me want to cry how understanding she is.

"Are you really not hurt, sad or angry?" I ask, worried I might have hurt her with my words. But she shakes her head.

"Sure, I would have liked it if you'd move in but it's not mandatory. It was an idea but I'm not hurt you decided differently. I want what's best for you and to be happy." She assures me and kisses my cheek softly. I smile a little, feeling better now.

"I am happy that I'll move closer to you guys now though because it's a little annoying that the ride takes so long now." I say and Scarlett smiles at me lovingly as we stroll down the path.

"I am happy about that too." She agrees and squeezes my hand again. Suddenly a thought comes to my mind and I purse my lips.

"We wouldn't even be able to live together because you're gonna be in LA for three months next year." I think out loud and feel a bit of sadness rise inside me. Scarlett looks like she already forgot that and nods.

"You're right, I wouldn't even have been there." She sighs.

"Speaking of, do you know what you'll do with Rose while you're in LA? Will you take her with you?" I ask. Scarlett sighs again and breathes out.

"I have thought about it but I haven't come to a conclusion now, it's always such a hard decision." She says and I nod, understanding that.

"I get that and I'm sure whatever you'll decide will be best for you and Rose." I support her and she smiles at me thankfully.

To change the topic to something more happy, we start to talk about our plans for Christmas, since they will come back home with me.

I still need to run it by my mother but as I know her, she won't have a problem with that. It may only get a little difficult to find a bedroom for everyone but we will find a solution to that as well.

A/n: Don't know what to put here so: ask me anything :D

Thanks for reading and love to you all
