[ he is going to make a wonderful father, and that makes her heart sing. naomi runs her fingers along raleigh's hairline, her thumb tracing the shape of his ear as she looks down at where he's talking to her stomach. ]
Best Dad. [ she smiles, because she knows he will be, because she knows the child growing in her couldn't be more lucky. ]
[ he looks up at her and positively beams. that's something he's been a little worried about over the years--how good of a dad he is. because, okay, he's not technically yancy's dad even if she calls him that sometimes. and it's not like he really has a good model to work off of. his own dad was a distant and self-absorbed asshat who fucked off to never never land when things got tough. yance practically raised him, but he was a big brother first and foremost, and it's kind of weird to raleigh that he was three years older and something of a father-figure.
( but when raleigh things about it, he was a pretty damn good example. things he did for his little siblings are things raleigh finds himself doing for his daughter. what parts of yancy's caring instincts he inherited from the drift make it so much easier to slide into the role of man of the house. )
hearing naomi say that he's going to be a great dad is like christmas come early, and it shows. he kisses her belly and stands, sweeping her into a bear hug. ]
Thank you. [ for giving him the opportunity to be a dad in more ways than one. ]
