Comment Amnesty & Drabble Meme: Part Three  
Due to work continuing to be a pain in the ass and the fact that I can barely come on LJ without having anxiety over the number of unresponded to comments I have, I'm declaring comment amnesty on 2014. I love every single comment that I received, and I adore each and every one of you for taking the time to respond to my work. I'm just at the point of choosing between responding or writing, and if I don't keep writing, I fear the muse will run away. I will do better in 2015, I promise.

With that said, it's time to feed the muse. Welcome to Drabble Meme: Part Three!

Rules: In the comments, leave me the name of a character and a noun (place, emotion, thing, whatever). You can also specify a 'verse or story, if you'd like - my Masterlist is almost up-to-date and AO3 is up-to-date. I'll write you a drabble/ficlet.

Prompt away! :)

I've been thinking a lot about the future of Bookstore, and this is a little snippet of that future :) Hope you enjoy!


Matt reached across the center console of Tim's Jeep to squeeze his husband's hand. Even though it had been their third interview with the adoption agency, the conferences didn't get any easier. Logically, he understood that the agency was doing everything they could to make sure that Matt and Tim would be good fathers but the process was tough.

"It's going to be okay," Tim said, kissing the back of Matt's hand.

Matt nodded but looked away, out the window at the people passing by on the sidewalk.

"Hey, talk to me."

"What if they reject us? What if they say I'm not physically fit to raise a child?"

Tim looked like he wanted to hit something but instead, he took a deep breath and gave Matt a long, calculating look. "You don't really think that, do you?"

"I-"

"Because that was one of the first questions we asked the agency, and they assured us that we would evaluated like anyone else. You know that you're more than capable of handling a child."

"Am I?"

"Matty, you're one of the strongest people that I know, and yes, things will be a little more difficult for you, but you've never let it stop you before. Don't let it stop you now."

"I'm not trying to, but I just… I worry about it."

"It's okay to worry about it, but you need to be positive. You need to have hope that the adoption will happen."

Matt took a deep breath and met Tim's eyes. His husband's gaze was steady and hopeful, and he couldn't help but feel better. Tim just had that effect on him. "I love you."

"I love you too. Now, let's grab something to eat before I have to get back to the office. Willie's?"

"Sounds good."

Poor Matty! He's going to be a great Dad!

I can't wait to read about their adventures as Dads.

Hint, hint.

Poor Matty. Feeling like he isn't fit enough to be a dad. He'll make a wonderful dad.
