“Christian, is he okay?” Kinley questioned, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
I brought him to her, laying him on her chest. “He’s perfect.”
Everything that happened next was in slow motion. I watched Kinley hold him close to her heart with tears in my eyes as they streamed down her beautiful face.
This day changed our lives in ways I never saw coming.
We were finally a family.
I kissed Kinley all over her face, feeling so fucking proud of my girl. “You did amazing, baby. You’re such a good girl.”
“I can’t believe he’s finally here. We’ve wanted this for so long.”
“I know. I can’t believe it either.”
“I’m so sorry, Christian. For everything. I never wanted to get a divorce, I just didn’t want you to not have this. I know you’ve wanted to be a father since we were kids.”
“We’re long past that. We got him, baby. We got our boy.”
She smiled, kissing his head. “You have no idea how loved you are and how long we’ve waited for you. We love you so much, Asher.”
“Asher,” my RN repeated. “What a unique name, Dr. Troy. I love it.”
I nodded, smiling. “It means a gift of hope.”
Which was exactly what he was.
—Kinley—
Our lives had done a complete three-sixty in the matter of a week. I had everything I'd ever wanted, and it felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from.
“Okay, Asher. Dad’s here now. No more crying.”
I listened to Christian, grabbing him out of his bassinet in our bedroom. It was well into the night, and he’d woke up for his feeding. Our little man had quite an appetite, practically living on my boob.
I laughed at the thought.
He cooed and kicked his chubby little legs. He listened to everything his daddy was saying, like it was the most important thing in the world. He looked exactly like Christian, making another dream of mine come true.
I couldn’t help smiling at the life we’d created together. He was so fucking perfect.
“Hey, when are you going to share him?” I teased, watching as he rocked him around the room.
“We’re having our man time.”
“Man time, huh?”
“Yeah, I’m teaching him about all the ways of the world.”
“Oh, are you going to teach him everything you know?”
“You mean how to make a woman beg for his coc—”
“Christian!”
He chuckled. “Your mom doesn’t have to know about our man chats. It can just stay with us.”
“That’s not fair. I want to know too.”
