I nod and then her words sink in. I sit up quickly, grunting when my head swims. I wait for it to stop and then I whistle, stopping her diatribe against anything and everything that might befall me.

“Wait a minute! Baby, are you telling me that we’re having another baby?”

She grins and then slides our joined hands down to the small swell of her belly. “Yep, you’re gonna be a daddy again, Vic. That’s three in two years. You’ve really got to stop knocking me up. My agent is getting really pissed that I have to stop going to shows for awhile after the baby’s born. She wants you snipped.”

I grunt and pull back. “Not gonna happen. She needs to find something else to talk about too. I don’t want her talking about my dick. And if I see her coming at me with scissors I’m gonna shoot first and ask questions later.”

She throws her head back and laughs, her caramel curls dancing around her head. “I promise I’ll protect your junk, baby.”

“I don’t think you want something to happen to me.”

“Hell no!” She leans over and whispers, “You know how much I love that particular part of you!”

I smile wickedly. “Dammit! I wish I could fuck you right now.”

She sits on the side of the hospital bed and her hands caress my face, holding me steady while she kisses me, making my heart race out of control.

The nurse runs in the door and both of us groan and slide away.

She wags her finger at us. “You better stop that. I don’t want to have to call the doctor.”

She steps out of the door. My wife leans over and slides into the bed, her head resting on my shoulder. I kiss her lips quickly then groan.

“You are damn tempting right now.”

“I’ll be tempting later too. Get some rest, Vic. I want you well-rested when you get out of here.”

She cuddles closer and my eyes close, content and happy beyond anything I ever thought I could be.

I’ve got the family I never thought I would get. And this woman is why.

I lean over and draw her closer. “I love you,” I whisper, soft and gentle.

She brings out that side of me that I didn’t even know I had.

But she’s always known it. Saw something in me that even I didn’t know existed.

She called me her hero when I saved her. But really she’s my hero. She saved me from a life of loneliness and isolation. And like the superwoman she is, she keeps giving more and more back to me. Giving me the world in her arms. A world that I barely knew existed but now I know it’s mine for all time.

Just like she is. God, I fucking love this woman. From the top of her head to the tips of her little pudgy toes.

She’s mine, I’m hers. Until the end of time. I hug her closer and close my eyes, breathing in the sweet honeysuckle scent that fills my heart with love.

That fills my life with light and happiness. Surely, there is no better place to be than here with my love. No matter where here is.
