MOLLY! I saw this on Twitter today and I almost passed out. THIS IS SOO CUTE!! 🥹🥰 It’s giving….Lavender Haze?? When Kate’s pregnant with Neddy and Anthony is such an amazing, supportive husband 🥹. Or whatever story you think is appropriate. I love this. Just thought you might appreciate it. (NOT MY PICTURE) The credit/picture goes to RoxieRox29 on Twitter. Love yah 💋

Tbh, I think this is all Anthonys. BUT for some reason this is giving me very strong Take a Deep Breath vibes. Anthony’s such an involved birthing partner, the first thing he did when they got there was sit behind her on the bed, and started braiding her hair back so it was out of the way, and then he started massaging her lower back.

“Deep breaths, Babe, you’re amazing.”

“I’m nervous.” Her eyes were so wide, so terrified and it made his chest ache.

“I know.” Anthony nodded, kissing her forehead quickly, “And I know this is going to hurt, but you can do this, I know you can.”

“And then we can see the little guy.” Kate gasped as another contraction wracked her body.

“Yeah, then we can see him. Do you need anything? Some ice chips? Do you want your birthing playlist? Fair warning, I got a new portable speaker and it’s shaped like Mickey Mouse because that felt like the vibe.”

Kate chuckled, “do you remember when you used to act like a feral street cat instead?”

“Anthony O’Malley the Alley cat’s done.” Anthony grinned, “He’s a wife guy now.”

“I need you to stop being so supportive”

The midwife scoffed, “Don’t wish for that, we had a Dad last week complaining about the wifi the entire time.”

“I’ll stop, I will, I’m just in awe of you.”

Really enjoyed the new TFFA chapter. The story warms my heart every time I read it. ❤️‍🔥

I cannot wait to see what the gift project Kate has in mind is.

I'm wondering though, can you tell us why Kate stopped knitting altogether? Did something happened in the past, perhaps something to do with Tharman? And was she actually any good at it?

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Kate just hasn’t really had time to be knitting since the war started. Mary and Edwina were knitting things for soldiers and the likes but Kate’s obviously being helpful in a different way. So it’s been a while but she’s… knitted vests before, how bad can it be right? And for the most part, she’s still pretty good.

And Anthony loves that vest. It’s a little lumpy, and he can see where someone’s helped her pick the stitches back up but Kate made it for him. And that makes it his Favourite piece of clothing that he’s ever owned. He wears it almost every day of his recovery. When a pretty girl makes something for you to wear, you wear it. Even if it’s a mortifyingly embarrassing colour.

“What the bloody hell are you wearing?” Simon chuckled when he first saw Anthony on his birthday, sat up wearing a bright purple vest. “You look ridiculous.”

“Laugh if you will Simon, but Kate Sharma made me this vest.” Anthony grinned. “For my birthday. This is now my favourite vest. If I have to wear this every day for the rest of my life I will.”

And all Simon could do was sigh, “Apologies. Quite the pair you and I’ll make with our eccentric bloody knitwear for the rest of our lives.”

“I know,” Anthony sighed, “But she’s so pretty it makes up for it.”

“Are you just going to breeze over the fact I just implied you’d marry Kate?”

“Well I don’t see any point in denying that’s what I want.”
