(that works for me)

Sage let out a soft breath and just hugged her tighter, humming softly. "I know. I wanted your babies too," he hummed quietly. It did hurt, and he had to fight back tears of his own.

Soon enough though, the water had started to get cold, so he patted her back softly. "Come on, let's try to get to sleep," he murmured gently, moving to turn the water off and grab towels for them.

Sage followed, busying himself just making sure she was alright. Well...as alright as she could be. He just lay with her once they got to bed, doing his best to be a comfort, and not letting himself slip off to sleep until she'd calmed down and fell asleep herself.

Once Celeste had drifted off, he tugged the blankets up and over them both, nestling in with a sigh before falling asleep himself.

Sage hadn't been much help consoling Celeste whenever she saw a baby. Or heard about a baby. Or anything about a baby. He wasn't much better....he'd become quiet. Distant. But he did his best to help her.

When he felt her curl up into him, he sort of shifted still half asleep. He'd almost drifted off again when her scent hit him, and admittedly he was immediately awake, nose twitching. He felt a slight rumble grow in his throat and he pulled back enough to sniff her, ears flickering around as if making sure he wasn't imagining things. "Celeste....you smell... absolutely delicious," he purred softly. He was barely constraining himself, but he didn't want to start something she didn't want either. But just laying here was ....rather hard. Especially since he knew she didn't wear a bra to bed or anything.

Sage hummed in response to her comment, fingers already finding their way under the hem of her shirt as he rolled over on top of her with a chuckle. "You definitely do," he purred heavily, voice thick with desire.
