"Do you want some cocoa?"
AJ asks as you sit together on the couch in your shared home.
You and AJ are married and have done something intimate more than once. Always after sex, AJ would take care of you. You were slowly getting used to it.
You and AJ got married a year ago. Many times the ceremony had to be postponed because of AJ's criminal life. There were also a lot of problems but together you managed, although AJ didn't always confide in you because he didn't want to worry you or decided that a given matter wasn't important. As for the story of how you met, you met in a bar. More precisely, AJ was standing in front of the bar smoking a cigarette and saw you in a black mini dress while you were standing with your friends. A drunk man approached you and started touching you. AJ couldn't stand to watch it. Unfortunately, it ended in a fight between AJ and the other man. Later that night you forced AJ to visit the hospital because he had a broken nose.
AJ wraps you tighter in a blanket so you won't be cold even though you've just gotten out of a warm shower together and you're in your pajamas and his hoodie. Then AJ gets up to go behind the counter behind which is the kitchen.
You wait patiently for him until AJ finally comes out of the kitchen with two cups of cocoa. He puts them on the coffee table.
"Does something hurt?" AJ asks sitting down next to you. It was the 5th time he's asked you that.
"No." You answer "I already told you that everything's fine."
AJ rolls his eyes and then places a kiss on your lips. He was very worried that he'd hurt you. You've been trying for a baby for a month.
"You always say that. I'm not stupid, I know you say that nothing hurts so I don't worry."
Then AJ gently combs your hair "So? How many children do we want?" AJ asks calmly. He loved conversations like this. Calm, loving. It was unlike him but despite his criminal lifestyle you know AJ wants to be a better man to start a family with you.
