I looked up at the ceiling, and a feeling of warmth and peace flooded me as I sent a thank-you above for being so blessed. Returning my gaze to my wife, the woman of my dreams, I brushed my thumbs over her cheeks as I murmured, “Best parents in the world.” My voice cracked, and then I lifted one shoulder into a shrug before winking. “Colin’s words, not mine.”

“Well, he is a smart kid.” She beamed with pride.

“I agree with that.” I pulled away and scooped her into my arms. “Tell me, does the mother of my children have the energy to make love with her husband before dinner?”

She hooked her wrists behind my neck as I took a knee on our bed before laying her out. “Ohh, I think I just might have plenty of strength for that. But do me a favor?”

I removed my tie and tossed it, staring at the angel before me. “Anything,” I breathed out.

“Don’t go worry mode on me, treating me like glass, worried I’ll break because I’m pregnant. I know you, mister.” She fisted my shirt and playfully lifted her brows. “In your arms, hard or gentle,” she said softly, “I’ll always be safe.”
