Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark. Pierce Brown, Golden Son
I stood up from the chair, carrying Kelsie back into our bedroom. Sitting down between Bruce’s legs, I leaned back against him. I was still feeling a little sore, but after spending a month doing basically nothing, I was glad that I was feeling more normal.
Most of all, I was glad that we were able to bring her home. She was safe and healthy, and that’s all I could ever ask for.
She opened her blue eyes, looking right at me. I smiled, taking a deep breath as Bruce gently wrapped his arms around me.
“She has your eyes.” I whispered, as I gently touched her hands with my fingers, letting her cling on to me.
“I think she looks more like you.” He kissed my shoulder.
I looked up, noticing that the news was on. “Has something happened?”
“No.” He turned it off. “I was just keeping up to date while you were feeding. Are you going to put her to bed?”
“In a minute. I just want to look at her a little while longer.”
She yawned, and I realised that I should be letting her sleep. I got up, placing her in the bassinet. She held tightly to my fingers, and I softly started to sing. I didn’t really sing lullabies or anything like that, just quiet songs I enjoyed listening to. She seemed to like it, and quickly fell asleep.
I heard the quiet beep as Bruce turned on the monitor, and we both crept outside of the room. Closing the door, I turned straight into his arms.
“Do you have to go out tonight?” I asked.
He shook his head. “Not unless I’m called out.”
“Good. Because we have a few hours until she wakes up, and I just want to sit in front of the fire with you.” I stood on my toes to kiss him. “Also, I pumped while you were still asleep this morning, and there’s enough in the fridge for another couple of feeds tonight.”
“Is there anything more I can do to make this easier for you?” He kissed me softly.
“I’ll tell you if I think of anything.” I took his hand, gently pulling him towards the small library on that floor. “Just keep being amazing.”
I sat sideways on the couch with my feet up, watching as he started the fire. Once it was ready, he gently lifted my feet and sat down, pulling me into his lap.
“I love you.” I whispered, resting my head on his shoulder.
“I love you too, so much. We’ve been through so much this year, and I wish I could have protected you from it all.” He wrapped his arm around me.
“I got myself into a lot of that trouble.” I laughed a little. “Somehow, we managed to get here. We survived all of that, and now we’re parents. I never expected our lives to go this direction.”
He gave me a thoughtful look, his fingers drifting up and down my back. “Marry me.”
“What?” My eyes went wide, and I was certain I’d heard him wrong.
“I know we went about things in a slightly backwards way, having a baby first, but I love you, and I think we can do this. So, will you marry me?”
I nodded. “Yes, of course I will.”
He kissed me, pulling me close. “I don’t have a ring yet, but I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks now.”
“We can sort that out later, I don’t care.” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I love you, and…”
I was interrupted by the sound of crying coming through the monitor. Standing up, I smiled at him.
“But maybe we’ll wait until I’m recovered, and she’s a little older.” I laughed.
“Do you want me to come with you?”
“Might be a good idea.” I walked back to the bedroom, gently lifting Kelsie out of the bassinet.
Sitting down on the bed, I held her close and checked her diaper. It wasn’t full, and she’d just been fed and burped. She was clearly fussy, and I figured she might just want us around.
“Do you want to give her the pacifier?” Bruce asked, picking it up from the bassinet.
“I completely forgot, thank you.” I nodded, feeling anxious and a little upset.
He handed it over, than sat down beside me. I offered it to her, and she took it, immediately quietening down. I was relieved, thankful that she just needed some comfort.
She fell back asleep quickly, and I placed her back in the crib. I was realising just how tired I felt, and I yawned quietly.
“I’m exhausted.” I whispered, changing out of my clothes and climbing into bed.
“I bet.” He wrapped his arm around my waist. “I’ll take all of the feedings tonight so you can get some rest.”
I rolled onto my back to look at him. “Are you sure? I can still take half.”
“No, I can do it. I’m not healing from major surgery, let me take a little more of the work.” He kissed me softly. “Go to sleep.”
“Thank you for being so patient.” I touched his cheek. “I know that none of this has really been easy.”
“Shh, Eve.” He played with my hair. “I just asked you to marry me. I wouldn’t have asked you if I wasn’t committed. I can wait for as long as you need, just as long as I still have you with me.”
I curled up against him, resting my head on his chest. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep, but my dreams were the happiest they’d been in a long time.
