“You ready?” She asks him softly. Evan nods quickly, a choked sound coming out of the back of his throat as he lifts his arms and Maddie slowly slides her own out from beneath the baby—their daughter. Evan sniffs, unabashed at the tears running down his face as he looks down at her.
“Th-this is real,” he says, almost not recognizing his own voice. Tommy’s hand comes down over his, under her head, and Evan looks over at him and the tears in his eyes that haven’t fallen yet.
“Yeah,” he rasps. “This is real.”

He can feel it coming, physically. He knows an avalanche is headed towards them, that the issue of kids might actually break them. Because he means it when he tells Evan that he doesn’t want to keep him from having something as integral as children. But also, he can’t fathom a version of his life that doesn’t have Evan Buckley in it.
Except, he can’t grasp the ability to even hypothesize a life with another baby in it, another person that he could give his whole soul to, even if it was with Evan. Something about that just feels like a personal brand of hell he’s not prepared for.
