I never would have known this kind of love. My throat knotted, and the backs of my eyes burned. Oh Jesus, what was this? “Shhh.” She smoothed my hair back off my forehead and cupped the crown of my head. “Shhh…it’s been a long, long couple days, but we’re together now, and it’s all okay.”
It was all okay because we were here, in the home we had agreed was not mine but ours. Our home. Almost missed this. My arms wrapped around her middle as my shoulders shook, and I clung to her with a franticness that didn’t make sense but was real nonetheless.
“Well, you see, I was in a shitty mood and walked up to the café at the same time as a girl with long auburn hair. I opened the door for her. She sped past me, then spun around, curtsied, and said, ‘Thank you so much. You just made me feel good about how this day is going to go.’”
“I didn’t know my desire to take care of you meant I would love the baby inside you too, but it did. And when she moved under my hands, my entire world changed. No matter what happens with Liam, I’m here. I’m your pillar. Be confident you can lean on me because I will never let either of you down.”
“Catherine Warner, my sweetheart, my love, I will love you with every single breath in this life, and when I go back to the earth with you, I will love you in every flower that blooms, every seed that brings fruit, each gust of wind, drop of rain, and snowflake that falls. Always, Catherine. Always.”
I had a thing for rubbing her pregnant belly. I’d missed most of this our first time around, and though I could never get that back, I wasn’t missing a second of the little boy growing inside my wife.
First of all, called it ☎️…
Second of all, I absolutely LOVE how he well and truly knows that Joey is his daughter. She was always meant to be his daughter. I love that he believes that he was suppose to take care of Catherine during her first pregnancy. That he missed out on opportunities and “pregnancy milestones” because although she wasn’t “officially his” yet he knew and believed in his heart she was his and so was the baby. I just…ugh…*sighs* in love.🥹♥️
