[ It gives her a feeling of warmth as she sees some of that hope return. It's hard to read him in that moment, but she can feel the change in approach and the heaviness between them starts to soften again. She lets out a breath that she hadn't realized she'd been holding as she'd waited for his response. Just hearing him recognize what he'd done for Chloe reassures her that he's starting to hear her. ]

You are. She loves you like you were her real daddy, even when you weren't, so you're doin' good by her.

[ As he starts to laugh she relaxes even more. It helps to know this isn't about the other stuff so much as being afraid of the same things she's afraid of. And she really wasn't suddenly struck with the 'let's hop into the bedroom' and make a kid right this second, mentality. The idea still scared the shit out of her as well, a picture didn't fix that. She just needed the possibility of that happiness, needed to know if it happened it would be okay with him.

She gives a small laugh herself and leans up to brush her lips against his, giving him a gentle and lingering kiss. When she breaks it she stays close to him. ]

Don't worry, I don't think it could happen here, and if it was suggested to me back home, I'd laugh in their face. We got a lot of other things to think about. All I need to know is that you want us to have somethin' that lasts, because I like bein' happy and I've missed you so goddamn much. [ Even if there was no baby, she needed to know that maybe there was more than just fighting and running in their future. ]

Take all the time you need, I'm in absolutely no rush to start pickin' out names, because honestly, the idea scares the shit out of me too. [ She laughed again as she wove her fingers around his neck and leaned her forehead to his. ]
