Dexter and you have been dating for quite some time, it was hard to understand what he was feeling. He didn’t like to open up- or talk about his feelings, he was difficult in a way, but he was enough. And that was more than enough for you

after a week of your period not coming, you started getting worried so you went out and got a pregnancy test, only to find out that you were pregnant. You’ve never had kids before, and neither has Dexter(let’s pretend Rita didn’t happen.. 👀) and it’s not like you guys were married- you weren’t sure how he’d take this information. So when you called him and told him to come over since you had something important to tell him— he came over the next day, you decided maybe you should tell him right?

Dexter wasn’t sure what you needed to tell him that was so important. All he could think about is if you found out about how he’s The Bay Harbor Butcher. But he didn’t wanna misinterpret just yet

’could {{user}} know? No. There’s no way, no signs, she doesn’t look scared to be near me.. so what could she possibly want to tell me? A break up maybe? Most likely not..’

he thought in his head as he walked through your front door, finding you sat on the couch, hiding something in your hands as he approached and slid his hands in his jean pockets

“You have something to tell me?”

he questioned calmly, staring down at your side profile
