"No, Reid, don't go!" you shouted toward the TV as if it could hear you. You were watching an episode of Criminal Minds while half of your body was covered with a small blanket and you were waiting for Tom to finish what he was doing in his office so you could have dinner together.
"Baby!" Tom's agitated voice and his hurried footsteps on the stairs alarmed you, but not enough to stop you, so you just paused the episode and peeked your head out a little so you could watch it.
"Yeah? It's something wrong?" you asked when you saw him come towards you and he just stood in front of you with a small smile on his face as he looked at you. "What?"
"Nothing, you look so pretty and comfy sitting right there," you rolled your eyes and took the control to resume the episode, but he was quicker and took it out of your hands. "But, i need you to get up." he dropped the remote to the side and grabbed your arms to pull you up.
"I'm watching Criminal Minds, leave me alone," you complained and pouted as you got up, dropping the blanket to the floor. "You should watch it with me, Reid it's gonna die." you tried to invite him, but he wouldn't let go.
"No he's not." he replied with furrowed brows.
"How do you know that?" you asked without letting go of his hands.
"They can't kill Reid, not yet. They are only in the season two, it can't happen," he shook his head and put his hands on your waist. "Now, enough of talking about Criminal Minds and pay attention to me."
"Only if you give me a kiss." you pointed your lips and he quickly moved so he could give you a quick kiss and you smiled as he pulled away.
"Happy?"
"Yes. You can talk now."
"Jesus, finally," he rolled his eyes and you gave him a soft smack on his chest, then hugged him around the neck, his hands never leaving your waist. "Alexa, play 'It's been a long, long time." the beginning of the song began to play and you stopped hugging him so you could talk to him.
"Why that song? You know that reminds me of how that son of a bitch named Steve left Bucky for a woman that he kissed once!" Tom laughed at the grudge you held against Steve, at the end of Endgame, you'd never get over it.
"I know, but it also reminds you of christmas." he said and touched your nose, making you smile at the memory of last christmas.
"So what? It's may, not december," you said logically and then put your right hand on his cheek, letting him lean against it. "Are you on drugs, my love?" you ask and Tom laughed. He removed your hand from his cheek and kissed it before speaking again.
"Would you ever stop talking and let me explain?" he asked and you lowered your head a little, but he pulled you closer to his body, making you two stay in a position to dance. "Just imagine this, it's christmas day in probably seven years, upstairs are our kids sleeping and in a few minutes we have to get the presents and leave them under the tree; but before that, we are dancing, just like this."
"We are thinking about our beautiful wedding that we're gonna definitely have," you laughed a little and feeling the vibrations in his chest, Tom did too. "Thinking about our first child, our second and maybe we even thinking about having a third."
"No we're not, we definitely not thinking about having a third." you interrupted him and he laughed again, giving you a little kiss on your forehead and squeezing your hand a little tighter.
"Alright, we're not. But we are thinking about how happy we are, about our perfect family and how we really got all that we want. We are married, we have two children and we are being really happy, everything we dreamed of at the start of our relationship." you couldn't see it, but on Tom's face there was a big smile and his eyes were starting to get wet at the thought of how happy he would be in the future with you.
"I really want to live that with you." you pulled your head away from his chest and looked at him. Your gazes connected and you felt like you could see into each other's souls.
"I want it too." you both smiled for a second and then connected your lips in a sweet kiss, knowing that you were each other's future.
summary: you weren't ready for that word, but you loved every letter of it.
warnings: fluff, kid crying, mentions of death(?

Your eyes were glued to your cell phone as you waited for Tom outside of work. You wiggled your fingers so you could create combinations of three candies in Candy Crush and move up a level.
"Ready to go?" Tom asked and beeped, causing you to look up and see him with a smile as you approached towards his car.
"Hey, baby," you waved through the window before opening the door and giving him a little kiss on his lips. "How are you?"
"Good now that i see you," he replied with his gaze fixed on the road, so he didn't see your little pout. "Do you mind if we go get Veronica from school? I wasn't planning on it, but we are just in time, so." your eyes sparkled as you listened to your boyfriend's proposal.
Veronica was Tom's little five-year-old daughter, and you adored her completely as she did the same. Ronnie lost her mom when she was two, and according to Harry, Tom hadn't given himself a chance to meet anyone else until you came along.
"Okay, just sit here and keeping looking pretty. I'll get Ronnie," Tom said and took off his seat belt, but not before giving you a kiss on the cheek and getting out of the car. "I'll be right back! Don't move!"
"I won't!" you shouted at him and saw how little by little his figure became smaller due to the distance he was walking to reach the metal door and pick up the girl.
Spending time with Ronnie and Tom was one of the things that undoubtedly brightened your day completely, you loved the moments you three created. You even thought that someday the three of you might be an official family; for Tom you already were, but he knew that Ronnie wasn't quite ready to be able to adjust to her new "mom" yet.
"I've got a surprise for you in the car." the sweet tone of your boyfriend's voice reached your ears, realizing he was speaking to the brunette who came along with him.
You peeked your head out the window a little to see the little girl. Veronica looked just like Tom, only with green eyes thanks to her mother, her hair was chocolate colored and its ends ended in curls, small freckles adorned the bridge of her nose. She was wearing a light blue shirt with an illustration of Cinderella with navy blue leggings and light blue tennis shoes with pink stripes that matched her t-shirt; Tom was holding his Minnie lunchbox in his right hand while in the other he held her little hand.
"Really? What is it, daddy?" Ronnie asked with great excitement and jumped up and down, making his dad smile.
"Oh, you have to wait," the little green-eyed girl pouted at that phrase. "I'll give it to you only if you promise me that you were a good girl today and didn't fight over toys with the other kids." Tom knelt down so he could get down to her level and held up his little finger to her. It didn't take Ronnie a second to wrap the same finger around her dad's, smiling at the huge size difference. "Alright, you can see it now."
When you saw Veronica's two pigtails begin to jump quickly, indicating that she was coming running, you opened the door that covered you, revealing your body with your arms outstretched, making Ronnie run faster and her smile grow bigger.
"Y/N!" she greeted you with a shout and hugged you as tight as she could with her little arms.
"How's my favorite brunnete?" you asked and lifted her up in your arms so you could sit her on your lap so you were both inside the car.
"I'm good!" she responded immediately and shifted a little so she could settle in nicely. "I learned the colors today." she said with great pride and nodded her head.
"Yeah?" Tom asked once he was in his seat and stretched his hand towards your arm so he could point. "Then, tell me what color is Y/N's blouse?"
"That's so easy, daddy," the little girl rolled her eyes at your boyfriend's question. "It's light blue."
"Good girl! Give me five." you congratulated her and raised your right hand so you could high-five the little girl on your lap.
The ride home was filled with laughter and humming along to songs you and Tom had previously chosen so you could do carpool karaoke between the two of you, even if little Ronnie joined in this time.
"Uncle Sam, i'm home!" Tom's daughter warned as soon as she stepped inside the house.
"Oh yeah, forgot to tell ya'," Tom apologized with anticipation and hung the little pink lunch box on the coat rack. "Sam won't be going to work today, so i'll guess we're eating extra fancy today." he said with some amusement and you moved your shoulders a little to simulate a dance.
"Aren't you going to say hello to me?" Harry's accent reached your ears and you started walking down the main hallway so you could get to the dining room, where Sam was serving the food.
"Hey, Y/N," Sam lifted his head slightly to look at you and wave without stopping serving. "I made your favorite meal to make up for you having to eat Harry's burnt noodles for a week."
"Hey!" his brother gave him an indignant look as he held his niece in his arms. "They weren't that bad."
"If you say so." Veronica whispered just loud enough for her uncle to hear her, earning tickles on her neck from him.
The meal went by so incredibly fast that you couldn't believe it was already time for you to get back to work. Usually, Harry would give you a ride thanks to his being a few blocks from yours, so it would be easy to drop you off in passing.
"Alright, see you later," Harry grabbed his backpack and slung it on, searching for you with his gaze until he found you on the couch with the little brunette on your lap. "You ready, Y/N?"
"Sure, let me get my laptop and we can go," he nodded and you placed your hands on Veronica's small waist so you could carry her to the room you shared with Tom, leave her in his care and grab your laptop. "I'm going." you warned Tom, who was folding the clean laundry.
"Already?" he said and pouted which made your heart soften.
"I'm sorry, baby. I have to go back," you reached over and gave him a small kiss on his lips, causing his pout to soon turn into a smile. "I'm handing you your little monster." you leaned the little girl you were carrying in your arms a little towards Tom, but she clutched her arms around your neck.
"I don't want you to leave." she shook and hid her face in the crook of your neck, clinging tighter.
"Ronnie, baby," your boyfriend put his hands on his daughter's back so he could peel her off. "Y/N have to go back to work, she'll be back soon, i promise." he said in a soft tone so the little girl could let go.
"But i don't want her to go!" you felt your neck starting to get wet from the tears she was shedding. You motioned for Tom to move a little away so you could talk to the smaller one.
"Ronnie?" you called to her and she lifted her face, revealing her green eyes that were now starting to turn red from crying. "If i stay, you promise you'll sleep early today?"
"Yes! Of course!" she nodded quickly and you smiled at her before putting her down from your arms.
"Good, now, go tell uncle Harry that i won't be going to work today." with your pointing finger you touched the tip of her nose.
"Sure, mommy!" the last word slipped from her lips and this made you and Tom look at each other quickly.
"Ronnie, wait!" Tom called after her and the girl's shoes rattled a few seconds later, standing in front of Tom. "Why did you call her like that?"
"Like what?" she asked blankly and cocked her head to the side.
"You called me mommy." you said in a soft tone and looked very sweetly at the little girl was in front of you.
"Because you're my mommy, right?" you turned your head slightly to look at Tom, who had a pout on his lips as he listened to the words coming out of his daughter's mouth. "I mean, you're not my mommy-mommy, but you're my mommy because you and my daddy are dating, so." she shrugged her shoulders and quickly left the scene, remembering that she had to tell her uncle something.
Tom and you stood in silence, trying to process what had just happened. You knew that to get that word out of her you needed patience, and you didn't even know if she would tell you so. But today she did, and it was so unexpected and that makes it even more magical.
"You are her mommy." Tom said softly and put his hand in your lower back, making you turn instantly to face him.
"I am."
