"Being a father is number two on my list of favorite things, right below being your mate. Because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Jade. Nothing will ever change that. I love you. I love every moment we're together, and I can't imagine waking up a day without you by my side. I want to grow old and gray with you, with a dozen children that look just like you." I give her a rueful look. "And we can hope none of them inherit my smarts."
