Summary
he’s careful with mel in a way that he never was with abby. not because he thinks she’s too delicate, or made of glass, or unable to handle herself. he just…he can’t fuck this up. she’s the most important thing that’s ever happened to him, alongside tanner and penny. he can’t fuck any of this up.
still, he can't protect her from this.
(or, mel and frank struggle with infertility issues.)

Summary
they don’t use a condom the first time they have sex.
it’s not an intentional decision – she honestly didn’t even think of it. they were both so wrapped up in each other, in the moment, in the fact that this was finally, finally happening, that protection was the furthest thing from their minds.
plus, neither of them had slept with anyone for awhile; he revealed that it’d been nearly a year and a half since he’d had sex with abby, even though they’d only separated nine months ago. (one of the many signs our marriage was dead in the water, he’d told her, with a wry smile on his face.)
and mel? well, mel had never slept with anyone. technically.
(or, mel and frank deal with an unplanned pregnancy.)
written for day five of kingdon week 2026: oops, accidental pregnancy.
