The sudden announcement came to a surprise to Phasma- along with a twinge of excitement. She always wanted to see what motherhood felt like, how she would act with a child of her own.
“Techie, that sounds, um… interesting,” she said, trying to hide her excitement.
His eyes light up as he clambers closer to Phasma, touching his cold fingertips to her forearm. “You r-really think so? I was scared you’d l-laugh at me…”
“Techie, darling, why would I laugh at you? I mean, I’ve always wanted to try my hand at being motherly…”
“I’m n-not… not really what most people think a d-dad should be,” he confesses, voice tight. He’s not strong, or tough. Everything scares him, and he has a variety of issues that make it hard to do… most things, actually.
“Oh, but sweetheart, dads are supposed to be affectionate,” she cooed, kissing his cheek gently.
“I’d try r-really hard to be a good one,” he murmurs, turning his head to catch her glossy lips in a kiss.
The kiss was a surprise to her- she found that she liked it, actually. She let Techie savor her lips, kissing him delicately as well.
Some time later, a nervous Techie stood outside the bathroom, pacing back and forth like a man possessed while he chewed on his bottom lip. He screeched to a stop and knocked once, polite. “L-Lenina? Are you done yet?”
She was taking the pregnancy test!
