Gaz x Y/N

Gaz and Y/N found themselves in an unexpected situation. After years of joyful chaos filled with laughter and the spirited antics of their children, the couple decided to embrace a Thanksgiving alight with intimacy and nostalgia. With their kids away at Y/N's mother's house for the week, the idea of a quiet celebration together sparked excitement in both their hearts.

As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over their home, Y/N slid her hands into the flour, working on preparing a traditional Thanksgiving feast. The scent of roasting turkey mingled with the sweet aroma of pumpkin pie. Gaz, ever the supportive partner, busied himself with setting the table, his mind swirling with memories of past Thanksgivings. He could almost hear the echoes of their children's laughter as they filled the room with stories and mischief.

"This is nice, isn't it?" Y/N said, wiping her hands on a kitchen towel. She looked at Gaz, her eyes sparkling. "Just us this year. A little time to reconnect."

"It really is," Gaz replied, leaning against the kitchen counter. "We should do this more often. A little retreat for just the two of us."

As they prepared the meal, the couple recalled how they used to celebrate holidays before kids changed everything. They shared playful banter, rekindling that youthful flame that had once sparked between them in those early days of their relationship. Gaz chuckled as he reminded Y/N of the disastrous Thanksgiving where he had accidentally set fire to the stuffing.

"Oh, don't remind me! I still can't look at cranberry sauce without thinking of that fire!" Y/N giggled, rolling her eyes.

Once dinner was served, they clinked their glasses of sparkling cider, grateful for each other and the life they had built. The candlelight flickered delicately, creating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, a backdrop fitting for such a special occasion.

After dinner, they settled comfortably on the couch, under a cozy blanket, with remnants of pumpkin pie on their plates and a classic holiday movie playing softly in the background. The room echoed with the comforting sounds of crackling firewood and the gentle creaking of the house settling around them.

Y/N shifted to face Gaz, a soft glow in her cheeks, "You know, I've always found Thanksgiving to be a time for reflection. I can't help but think about how far we've come."

Gaz nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Yeah, we've built a beautiful life. I wouldn't trade it for anything." But as he gazed into Y/N's eyes, he noticed a glimmer of something more.

"Y/N, is there something you want to tell me?" he asked, sensing a softer atmosphere around her.

Her expression shifted to one of anticipation. "Well, yes. There is something I've been meaning to share." She took a deep breath, her heart beating faster. "You know how we've talked about having a quieter house?"

"Of course. I love that we can cherish moments like this," Gaz replied, curiosity piquing in his mind. "But…"

Y/N took a deep breath, her voice steady yet filled with emotion. "But what if it's not so quiet after all? Gaz… I'm pregnant again."

A stunned silence enveloped the room like a warm embrace. Gaz blinked, digesting the words as a wave of joy washed over him, followed by disbelief. "Wait, are you serious?" he breathed, his heartbeat quickening.

Y/N nodded, a smile breaking across her face, her eyes sparkling with happiness and just a hint of nervousness. "I took the test this morning. I couldn't wait until the kids came back to tell you. I wanted this moment to be ours."

"I can't believe it!" Gaz said, laughing and pulling Y/N tightly into his arms. "This is incredible news! Just when I thought Thanksgiving couldn't get any better!"

As they embraced, the reality of their growing family sank in, each having grown closer through the highs and lows of parenthood. The couple continued to discuss the future, dreams weaving into plans, the gratitude they felt for this surprise tinging the evening with magic.

The night lingered in a tender glow, laughter resonating through the walls of their home. Thanksgiving was never intended to be a simple gathering this year, but it had blossomed into the most beautiful celebration of love, adventure, and the anticipation of new beginnings. Gaz and Y/N knew that their family was expanding, and with it, their hearts too would grow to encompass even more love as they embraced their journey ahead.
