Eljay was afraid to make a decision that would negatively impact Weejay amidst all the chaos of his mind. He didn't want to drag her off because she thought that's what she wanted, only to wake up some day with a miserable daughter. But then again, would it really be fair to keep her being so-so happy for the rest of her life instead? Eljay wanted her to be happy, and he wanted to be happy. A part of him did want to go after Maia, but at the same time, what would he even say when they got there? What if she would be super weirded out by him just showing up? What if Wraen wouldn't want him there, or Arcturus?

His worrying train of thought was stopped at the station by Weejay's soft-spoken words. Eljay looked up at her and smiled as she said them. He couldn't express just how much he loved Weejay and how grateful he was to have her in his life. He knew many children left or grew up to be embarrassed by their parents. Elfie probably would be, if he was still... But Weejay was different, in the same way that he had been different, and he could not express how much that meant to him. It wasn't always fair on her, which was why he had asked her now what it was that she wanted; he realised that he needed to think more about what she wanted, too. It turned out that wasn't always easy to figure out, either.

Thank you, sweetie, he said softly. Not just for being patient, but also for being such an integral part of his life, for being so sweet, for being understanding, for being kind and caring not just towards him but towards everyone. Eljay had wanted to be a parent for at least a year before Weejay had come along, and even despite all his flaws as a parent she was the perfect embodiment of that dream coming true.

we can wrap it here with a fade maybe?
