“Language,” I remind him, not opening my eyes.
He chuckles and kisses me on my temple.
“Sorry, baby. I’ll be better at remembering.”
I nod. I know that he will. There is nothing that this man wouldn’t do for me. I might have snapped at him a hundred times in the last eighteen hours, but he’s never complained once, and I know that if he could, he would do anything to take this pain away.
“Another big push,” Dr. Barnett says and I grip the hospital bed rail tighter and scream as I push again.
I’m out of breath, drenched in sweat, and so freaking tired, but I know that it has to almost be over.
“One more big push,” the doctor says and I nod, turning to meet Wild’s mismatched eyes.
“I love you,” I tell him and he grins.
“I know. I love you too.”
The contraction hits and I push one more time, trying not to focus on the pain.
And then… our baby boy is crying.
I collapse back against the bed, tears in my own eyes as I wait with Wild while they clean him up and weigh him.
“Ready, Mama?” Dr. Barnett asks and I nod, reaching my hands out for my son.
Wild crowds me on the bed and I laugh as we both stare down at our baby boy.
“He’s perfect,” I whisper, in awe of his tiny face and body.
“Just like his mommy,” Wild whispers, kissing my forehead and then my cheek.
“What should we name him?”
“Hmm. How about Wild?”
I laugh, staring up into my husband’s beautiful face.
“How about Weston?”
“Weston?”
“Yeah, because I headed west. If I hadn’t moved out here, we may never have met.”
“Weston Wilder. I love it.”
“Me too.”
We stare down at our son’s face and I finally have what I’ve always wanted.
A family.

Ten Years Later…
I park my bike next to the minivan and grin as I hop off. Bristle and I are about to head off on a two week vacation. Nothing but me, my wife, and my bike.
