She shook her head, her whole body shuddering. "I don't even want to think about this for a while. I'm so tired of... I just don't... Please."
"What was that for?!" he cried, putting some toothpaste on his toothbrush.

He hesitated pulling away from her. "Do--d'ya want me to go..?"
She laughed. "Just teasing!" She got dressed, but moved to him, turning her back to hip. "Zip me?"

Rose lifted her head to look over at him, her eyes red and her cheeks blotchy. Without a word, she attached herself to him, burying her face in the crook of his neck and crying some more.
He let out a sigh of relief before brushing his teeth quickly. When she presented her back to him, he zipped up her dress, but not before leaning down to press his lips to her shoulder.

He held her, rocking her, kissing her. "I'm sorry, Rosie...I'm so, so sorry..."
She smiled, turning to him. "Is my dress too tight?"

She clung to him, hating that he had to see her like this. After a few minutes, she pulled back, then let out a small sigh when she saw the huge wet patch and mascara marks on his shirt.
Mike looked her up and down, eyebrows raising as he did so. "Nuh uh. Looks perfect, baby," he said with a sly wink.

He brushed his thumbs under her eyes, wiping them. "Rosie, we're gonna be okay."
She smirked. "You're checking out my boobs, aren't you?"

She sniffed, looking up into his eyes. He was so confident. Why shouldn't she believe him? "I know," she whispered, nodding slightly. "I'm just so...tired of being disappointed. Of disappointing you."
"Of course I am," he replied casually, not even blushing or ashamed.
((Can we skip to their wedding soon? Pleeeeeeeease?!))

((YES! Let's skip to baby, first, 'cause they'll get married after!))
"Rosie, ya don't disappoint me. Not ever. It's my fault, not yours. A man oughta' be able to get his wife pregnant." He frowned, upset.
Three months later, Maggie was in the middle of icing cupcakes when her water broke. She gasped, feeling a contraction hit, and she called out "MIKE!"

"Well, it's not like I just sit back and wait for you to knock me up," she pointed out, leaning forward to press her forehead against his cheek. "It's both our faults. Or neither of our faults." She didn't know anymore.
Mike came running into the kitchen, holding two bags. This had happened a few times before - false alarms, of course, so he was prepared now. "What?! Is it time?!"

He straightened his legs out as he sat on the floor, pulling her into his lap with a sigh.
"Uh huh!" She looked terrified. "For real this time!"

Rose curled up on his lap, kissing his neck softly as a few more tears escaped through her lashes.
"Shit," he hissed. He frantically started looking around for the overnight bags, but then realized he was holding them. "KEYS! On the counter," he said before grabbing them. "Come on, let's go!"

He rocked her gently, murmuring to her lovingly. He hated that she was so sad.
They got downstairs and to the car. She was whimpering every time a contraction hit. At the hospital, they got her into a room and into a bed. It wasn't taking long for things to happen -- this was a very impatient baby.

Rose told herself she would have to find a way to thank him for being so utterly amazing. Not just today, but the past few months. Bringing her flowers, taking her away for the weekend, holding her, reassuring her... How could she repay him?
Mike was pacing inside the room, a nervous wreck. Then he practically jumped out of his skin when he remembered he needed to make some calls. First he called Maggie's father, promising him he would call every so often with updates. Then he called Tyler, his heart racing.

He wasn't worried about being repaid. He did it because he loved her. "Hey, Rosie?"
Tyler of course was supportive, trying to calm him down. He told him he and Rose would be there right away. Then a cry came from Maggie's room -- this baby was not waiting. It was time to push.

She lifted her head up to look at him, eyes shining. "Yeah?"
Michael practically dropped his phone as he ran back into the room. He rushed to her side, taking her hand.
