Asher's heart breaks as he listens to Hadley's concerns. "Babe, babe," he croons, scooting close to her and enveloping her in his arms. "It'll be okay. I know it wouldn't be the same, love, but there are some things we could do, I'm sure." He makes a mental note to do more research on that.

She nods, "I've heard of a study where they're doing uterine transplants on women. There's been a couple babies born that way... but it hasn't been done with trans women... and even if it could, we wouldn't be able to have one of our own, we'd have to use an egg donor." She sighs, "I'm sorry... this was our first time and I'm ruining it." But her mind drifts to the dream she had in the hospital. Bella and Laurel... they were their kids...

Asher wipes away any leftover tears. "Babe, listen," he says, tilting her chin so he can look her in the eyes. "Don't be sorry. You're not ruining anything. We'll figure it out when we get there. I'll be happy whichever route we take."

She nods, "I love you." She says as she lays her head back against him and hugs his arms around her.

"I love you too, babe," he whispers, kissing the top of her head. He allows a few moments to pass in silence, the two wrapped in each other's arms. "Babe," he says softly, "is it too early to say I want to marry you sooner rather than later?"

She looks up at him, her eyes wide, "You... you want to marry me?"

Asher scans her eyes, wondering if he said something wrong. "Yeah, didn't we talk about this already?"

"Well, I mean we've hinted at it... joked about it... but nothing concrete."

Asher moves to face her, taking her hands in his. "Hadley, love, I mean every word I just said."

"Really?" She asks as fresh tears well up in her eyes, "Oh Asher, I've dreamed of this every night since our first date. I just didn't know it could be reality."

"Hey, hey, babe," Asher croons, pulling her close, "of course it could be reality. You'd have to be either crazy or blind not to see how crazy for you I am."

"I just didn't know if it was going to be long term." Hadley says. She moves to sit on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist. She plays with the hair at the nape of his neck as she looks up into his eyes, "I figured I might be lucky enough to date someone like you, but to marry you? To have you beside me for the rest of my life? It's a dream come true."

Asher leans his forehead against hers, smiling. "So I take it that's a yes then?" he asks with a wary laugh.

Hadley looks around feigning shock, "What no ring?"

Asher chuckles. "Haven't exactly had time to pick something out what with your surgery and your recovery and the spontaneity of the question," he replies with a smooth calm. He grabs her hand, gently running his fingers over where the ring will be. "But this way we can make it really special. You can help pick out exactly what you want."

"Okay." She smiles, "But you have to help me pick one out because I want it to be from you and not just me picking one out for myself."

"Well, duh, I'm going to help you," he laughs. "What kind of guy would I be to let you do all the work?"

She grins, "How about if I show you online some that I like and then you can pick one out for me. That way it's still a surprise but I can give you ideas too?"

"Babe, you are full of ideas," Asher says. He pauses the movie on his laptop, bringing it back to the mattress with him. He pulls up his search enginr and gives Hadley free reign.

She looks through several websites before finding something, "I really like the idea of using our birthstones in it somehow... personalizing it in some way... and I definitely like silver over gold."

Asher makes a mental note. "Birthstones and silver. Got it," he says, kissing her cheek. "Any particular cut you like better?"

Hadley giggles, "We will just have to make sure that your wedding ring is silver or gold or something like that. I guess titanium ones cant be cut off so they have had to amputate fingers before if they get too small. Zander said it's happened once at the hospital here."

"That is good information to have. No titanium," Asher says. "I should start making am actual list of these things."

Hadley grins, "My list is all up here. Been making it since I was little."

"Well, then transfer it to paper for me, babe," Asher laughs, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Or maybe just my phone."
