We Had Time (ramblings from your mum)

Summary:

A series of short notes (ramblings) from Jemma to Alya written during their 'we had time' space adventures.

A FitzSimmons Secret Santa Gift for @beth-is-rainpaint on Tumblr. Prompt: Filling in the gaps of we had time

Notes:

Hello! *Insert I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.gif here* Oh, goodness! It's been a bit since I last posted anything.

I wasn't actually planning on writing more than the first note, but I guess I inspired myself a bit and wrote just a touch more. This is a gift for my 2020 Tumblr FS Secret Santa, @beth-is-rainpaint! I hope you enjoy this series of very short ramblings!

If you'd like to see the companion piece to this (a digital scrapbook), click here!

I'd like to say that any mistakes are a stylized choice (i.e., Jemma is writing in the moment and she's not always 100% perfect), but it's really just my own errors!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: We had time...to think about you

Chapter Text

We Had Time Purple Star Banner

Alya,

You are but a small bump beneath my shirt, the only visible proof we have that you exist, and I love you with all my being. The vast expanse of ten thousand galaxies couldn’t begin to contain even a smidgen of the love I feel for you.

I’m not the greatest at expressing myself your father can attest to that but I feel compelled to write down my thoughts anyway. As a scientist, I know that my hormones are all over the place right now, and as a result, my words are far more vibrant than I’m used to writing in reports. Hormones or no, all that I have to share with you is precisely what I am feeling at this moment, and darling, I am feeling so much. 

We have quite a bit of time on our hands, and yet we have no time at all. We have long since crossed the event horizon, and now we are speeding towards a world in which I cannot fathom existing without you. I am so, so, so very excited to meet you. 

Love you always, 

Mum x
