Jordan's POV
•€•
January 4th

This will always be my best view.

Watching him lay so comfortably against her chest. I know she loves it. Her face is brightly lit as she watches mine in disbelief.

It's a feeling I can't explain. It's like nothing else in this world matters. The world could be on fire and as long as they were okay, I wouldn't fret.

Not for a second.

"If you're ready, we can try nursing him," the nurse suggests. A wave of what looks like fear travels through Gabby's eyes.

It catches me off guard. I expected her to be excited but that's the least of what I'm seeing in her uneasy expression.

"Umm...I- You think he'll be ready?" She asks the nurse. I can't help but make a face when her eyes travel towards me.

"We won't know unless we try," she says. Gabby nods hesitantly. The nurse explains the process and then leaves the room to get a few things. I'm left with the opportunity to find out what has her mind in a funk.

"Baby," I call and she hums softly, her eyes not meeting mine.

"Look at me, Gabby," I say and she does. Her soft brown eyes meet mine and she bites the inside of her cheek.

"Whats the matter? Why I do I feel like something is scaring you?" I ask her.

She sighs and looks down at a sleepy Justice.

"What if he's not ready? What if we try and he doesn't like it. I don't want to feel like I couldn't-" she starts but looks away out of...embarrassment?

I understand her concern and in no way should she blame herself.

I kneel before and take her hand.

"Baby," I chuckle not meaning to. "It's gonna take some time for him- for us all to adjust but we're gonna take it slow and just wait for everything to happen on its own time. There's nothing wrong with trying and he'll let us know if he's ready. You don't want him to grow up too fast anyways, right?," I say taking her face in my hand. A smile work it's way onto her face.

"Your words are always like music to my ears," she says sweetly.

"As it should be. You're too pretty to be worrying and it's my job to make sure you don't," I tease and she playfully rolls her eyes.

The nurse enters the room.

"Ready?" She asks. Gabby smiles and nods.

The nurse gets them both situated. I watch with curiosity occupying my mind.

She's still a bit hesitant but she watches calmly and follows every step perfectly.

A few minutes later, he's latched on. He's drinking like his life depends on it.

She jumps slightly from the excitement trailing in her body. He fusses a little until she's still. A soft chuckle escapes her as she watches him.
