Eventually.. Days, weeks, months passed by after the good came around and Niklaus fully got her memories. We'd spend every passing day not worrying about how she may never remember who everyone was with just one accident that never happened and I'm truly glad it didn't.

It's september and autumn had sneaked up on New York City (and probably the rest of America) by the breeze. It meant it was Niklaus-stealing-my-sweaters season. She was on our couch watching reruns of How I Met Your Mother in my Under Armour hoodie and probably also my joggers. The clothes fit her like it does on me, given that she wasn't really on the skinny spectrum but rather a bit chubby. Which I realized she has actually gained a little weight for the past four to five weeks but I wouldn't point that out because she looked good no matter what. More things to wrap my arms around on. Yay, me.

She had one of those big bottles of Gold Peak Tea in her hands and her eyes never left the tv screen.
In fact, she was so focused on the tv that she only realized I was right beside her when she took another drink straight from the 64 ounce container.

"Oh jesus, I thought you were catching up on your sleep" she clutched the bottle to her chest and scooted towards my side of the couch.

"Not Jesus, but flattering, Doll. And yeah.. I couldn't go back to sleep because you weren't beside me." She turned her head and gave me a gagging face before laughing.

"Cheesy, Bassy. That was so cheesy you just got featured in one of those foodporn videos."She snorts and rested her head on my shoulder.

"No really. Why are you up this late?" I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and put my head on top of hers, looking at the tv but not really watching.

"Just thoughts.." Her words faded into a yawn and she fixes her position next to me.

"Thoughts about what?" Hey, curiosity killed the cat but this cat just wants to know what keeps their special someone up this late.

She breaks away from me and puts the bottle of tea on the table and sits back down with her whole body facing me. She looked me in the eyes and looks down.

"Is everything oka-"

"When somebody says future, what do you think about?" She cuts in and I shut up swallowing the rest of my sentence. I think about it for a moment, at the same time wondering where the conversation was headed.

"Well... I think.... of us. Just us. Maybe a couple or a dozen dogs and two to three kids in a big family house upstate where it's peaceful.... sometimes I think of you and I traveling together and making you feel like you're worth everything in this world even after we grow old. Even after We've seen everything. I just.... think about how much I love you and how many possible futures I can have with you..." She looks at me with her eyes melting into something I couldn't put a finger on. It was curiosity, mischief and happiness all in one. She reaches for one of my hands and smiles warmly. She didn't say a word. Just holds my hand and looks at me.

" Why?" Barely above a whisper, I asked. Her smile grew wider and I felt my heart blow up in my chest at how nice she looked with that smile on her face.

She lifts my hand up and rests it on top of her stomach while she rubbed circles on my knuckles.

God, did it took me time to realize what was happening until she spoke again. I guess my brain was too blown to actually register what it meant.

"I didn't want to tell you this way... but I can't think of another perfect time to so.."

"I'm having a baby?" It was all I could mumble.

"Yes, Sebastian. Babies."

"My babies?"

"Ours, Yes."

"Wait.. ba- more than one?" I felt like I was going to burst into tears.

"Twins, Darling. We're having twins."
