Laugh Quote by T.L. Swan
““I laugh out loud. “You want kids?” “Yes, I want fucking kids.” He picks me up and throws me onto the bed and I bounce with a laugh. He crawls up over me and rests on his elbow as he looks down at me. We fall serious suddenly. “What kind of father will you be?” I ask. “The kind that protects their mother.””
