Even though Ernie did believe that there was a very real chance that Daphne would beat him to death for making that comment. An outcome that he would have undoubtedly deserved for making a comment like that to a pregnant lady, he was somewhat relieved to see her smile. He didn’t do well when the people around him were upset or sad, it was part of the reason he had always been such a practical joker while at school.
Laughing as she made her counter comment, he shook his head, unable to really deny that. “Well, it was either that or you wore me down over enough years” he teased, before leaning forward to press a kiss to her lips before she had a chance to hex him.
Moving to sit properly beside her, his arms moved around her petite form, drawing her closer. “No need to be scared or freaking out. Don’t you know? That is pretty much my role in the relationship. If you start stealing stuff like that from me, then you basically leave me with bringing nothing to the relationship”
