Unseen Scene....I couldn't help writing this...
🕑 Added 2024-09-26 13:00:13 +0000 UTC“We should get them a puppy,” Rook announces as he brings their child to his face and rubs his nose to theirs. He’s the perfect picture of father and child cuddling together on the wide living room sofa.
“No.”
Rook’s mouth falls open as he holds their child close. “How can you be so cruel to deny them a childhood pet?”
“They’re two weeks old,” Rebecca reminds him, folding her arms as she readjust herself in her armchair.
Rook’s faux shock drops instantly as he makes to stand.
She holds up a hand. “I’m fine. You can’t look after both me and our child.”
“Ok, that sounds a lot like you’re doubting my multitasking abilities.” He wrinkles his brows together as he sits back down. “Which I will take offence to later, after I finally convince you to let our bundle of happiest joy have a puppy.”
“Then I’m glad you’ll never be taking offence as that is never going to happen.”
“Is it because you’re a cat person?” he asks with pursed lips, turning to look at their baby. “Don’t hold that against her, [Name].”
Rebecca rolls her eyes. “I’m not an animal person.”
Rook inhales an offended breath and covers the baby’s ears, a motion that-had Rebecca done it-she knows would have had them crying. But instead, with Rook, they are quiet. Peaceful.
“We won’t ever be divulging that fact to them,” Rook whispers.
She tenses, cutting her gaze away. “There are many things we won’t be able to divulge to them.”
Rook kisses their baby’s chubby cheek. “Another thing I need to convince you of.”
“You would want to expose them to that world?” Rebecca snaps, flinging a hand out.
He stands, cradling the baby in his arms as he moves with annoying calm to her side and rests a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t over exert yourself.”
She takes a breath at his offered comfort.
“I want them to be fully aware of the world we live in,” he replies, leaning down to press a kiss on Rebecca’s cheek too. She sags in relief, sinking deep into the cushions of the chair. “Let me get you some tea.”
He hands [Name] to Rebecca, who cradles their child close, staring down into their tiny perfect features.
She has felt protective over many things in her life, it’s why she went into the job she’s in, but nothing makes her more scared than bringing this child, this piece of her heart, into the dangerous world Rook is so keen to throw them into…

Well, if it can make it easier I wasn't thinking Deadpool Ryan Reynolds but more of The proposal Ryan Reynolds lmao

Some of my MCs aren’t even attempting to rebuild with Rebecca- too much has gone on! Where as some of my MCs are making the effort! It’s interesting to see how it changes things :D
Seraphinite Games
Writing Rook’s scenarios are definitely both of those!
Seraphinite Games
Those are feelings that usually always follow memories of Rook!
Seraphinite Games
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve had it on my mind for so long, I had to get it out into paper (screen? Lol) :D
Seraphinite Games
But in a poignant, heartwarming way, right? :D
Seraphinite Games
It was a heartbreaking one to write!
Seraphinite Games
Soooooo much more supportive! But probably a whole lot more…like, there, lol. Rebecca let the MC have their freedom (too much), but Rook might have gone too much in the opposite!
Seraphinite Games
Rook and Rebecca are a special kind of couple. I’ll definitely be getting more of them together on the page soon! :D
Alizah Omar
But they're Rookless :((
Seraphinite Games
Way, way too soon!
Seraphinite Games
Most definitely, hehe! ;D
Seraphinite Games
Rook breaking all the hearts, and he’s not even alive anymore! :D
Seraphinite Games
I couldn’t resist this month! This is a scene that’s been on my mind for soooo long, I finally just had to get it out!
Seraphinite Games
Which is accurate! The rain just has not stopped, lol! :D
Seraphinite Games
Don’t worry, there’s lots of fun scenarios to help cheer you back up, hehe! ;D
Seraphinite Games
Hades is my favourite of the two, hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
Rook certainly helped Rebecca relax more into herself!
Seraphinite Games
Writing Rook is so bittersweet! I love writing him, especially with Rebecca, but man…that heartache stings!
Seraphinite Games
Lol! I will seriously struggle to unsee this now…hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
So true…a lot of comfort in our pets! <3

Oh cool thanks for this. If anyone needs me I’ll just be sobbing under my blankets. 😭

I can't stop wondering how our Detectives live would be if the roles would have been reversed and they would have grown up with their dad. 🤔
Kalyx Wynthor
Rook was a dream father in more way than one it seems. I wish he was still alive because my MC don't get on well with their mother. They have grown too much apart and now it's hard to build something over a crumbling base.
Michael Reddy
That’s adorable 🥰 and sad
Aleksandra Puchalska
How can this be so painful and sweet at the same time 😢?
Seren
What a beautiful and touching snippet! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Mewsly
I was not expecting to have my feelings attacked today!
Jmike
RIGHT!! .....those jerks......😭😭😭
Roman
Damn just kill me next time 😭
Jason Bond
This is so bittersweet! I can't help but feel that if things were reversed Rook would have been more emotionally supportive than Rebecca was when the MC was growing up.
Jason Bond
Agreed.
Jason Bond
It's those damn onion Ninjas right? LOL
Minato Enomoto
always enjoy readin’ these past recollections of Rebecca & Rook, it’s nice to see them as a family and to see how Rook always knows how to mess with Rebecca without annoyin’ her. hope to see more in the future!! 🙏🏻🍻
Sphinx
Rook, you were gone too soon! 💔🥲
Junesong
And now I know where my Detective gets her sass from.
theartistkaylen
Be still my heart—ooooohhh~ ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Ant Lrt
Oh I can, and I will. I like Ryan Reynolds 🤷
Mar
MY HEART !!! Oh I love Rook so much. Thank you for this glimpse into the MC’s father and Rook’s fatherhood
Mar
oh don’t do that to rook
Jmike
I'm not crying...its just been raining here all week....
Nathaniel Mayfield
😂😂😂 that is one of the best comments I've ever read.
Alizah Omar
Great I'm sad on a Thursday afternoon thanks a bunch
Nathaniel Mayfield
Wait till he's older then get him a puppy. I recommend Rottweilers but the name Apollo is taken. So I'd go with Zeus or Hades
Adam
I can't, I am crying. This is so cute. I need more of this.
Inkukare
I hold every single snippet of Rook so close to my heart ❤️ Breaks my soul to know he never got to be the father he was so clearly meant to be
Ant Lrt
I'm starting to suspect that Rook is actually Ryan Reynolds.
MissXis
I mean if they did get the future detective a puppy maybe they wouldn't have felt as alone growing up 😭
