Stormy began drawing and painting more after she found out that she was pregnant. I think it gave her the inspiration she needed. We ordered special paints that are safe for her during this time, and she hasn’t stopped. Every day when I get home from work I find her in her studio. She worked until Tracey was able to come back to work then we decided she would stay home. She’s still going to classes but after the baby is born, she will take some time off. She truly wants to be a stay-at-home mother and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I support my wife in all that she does. She’s painted a few cover photos for books that have been publishedthrough Knight Publishing Company and I couldn’t be prouder. She is getting her artwork out there like she always wanted. Right now, she is working on the cover for Lizzie’s latest book. I think this will be the best one yet. I look at the paintings she has on the wall and one of them is me while I was sleeping. She said she knew she had to paint it. It came from a sketch she drew shortly after we got together. She’s also painted both of us together. My girl is so talented. She’s also been working on painting the nursery. She wanted a mural in there.

I hear her singing something to our child and I smile. She has been singing more and more now that she can feel the baby kicking. I haven’t felt it yet. She said it just feels like little flutters, but I can’t wait until I do. I love my wife today more than I did yesterday. Yes, she can still fight with the best of them, and I think the pregnancy hormones have something to do with it. But we’re happy.

She was broken and damaged but somehow she found peace in the fragments scattered across the floor. She’s an artist in the way she puts herself back together to create something powerful and a bit more magnificent than before. She’s a whirlwind, a hurricane, a strong and sexy storm, and she is all mine. I told her during our vows, “Fuck til death do us part, if I ever lose you hell better lock its gates because I’ll be coming for you.” She laughed but I was serious. I surprised her with my new tattoos on our wedding day. I got “Angel” put on my ribs with her initials underneath. She will forever be a part of me. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for that woman. She’s the one just like my father would talk about. It wasn’t love at first sight. More like hate at first sight but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Mylittle vixen is a fireball, and we complement each other perfectly. She needed someone to take care of her and I needed someone to care for. I didn’t know what love was until we were thrust together. Now, they’re both sitting before me, and I feel as though my heart could burst.

Stormy

I smile as I look down at my small baby bump. I’ve never been this happy and content in my life. All the puzzle pieces fell into place making the most beautiful masterpiece I could ever imagine. I can feel Sebastian’s eyes on me, so I sit a little straighter and try to concentrate on this painting that I need to get finished for Lizzie’s new book. I was so pleased when she saw my work and asked if I would be willing to work with her on her book covers. It’s a dream come true, getting my work out there for people to see. It’s what I always wanted.

I was going down a path of destruction until Sebastian saved me from the worst parts of myself. I was broken. Even if I told him I was fine, he wouldn’t believe me. He fought for me. He saved me. I was going toward my lowest point again and he pulled me back from the deep waters. I will forever be grateful for everything he did for me. He believed in me.

Life isn’t always a work of art. It’s messy, chaotic, and sometimes complicated but that doesn’t mean you throw away the canvas. You have to take a step back and look at it from a different angle. It’s not always what it seems and more times than not it can be salvaged. Find your muse and never let it go. Mine will always be Sebastian. He resuscitated my soul, giving me purpose again.
