I'm holding my baby boy in my arms, and I can hardly breathe. This really happened to me. "Welcome to the world Beckett," I say welcoming my beautiful son to the world. I feel a connection with him unlike with Silas. This is my life. This is what happiness feels like. I hand my son back to Shaleigh who is staring at him in awe. How in the hell did I ever get so lucky? I walk over and lay in the bed with Shaleigh who can't stop smiling.
"Thank you, Ryder," she says looking over me and smiling.
"For what?" I ask a little confused.
"For giving me this. For staying even when I know you didn't want a kid at first. Thank you for just being my loving husband. I couldn't be happier with my life," she says with a huge smile on her face. I married Shaleigh about two months ago, and she's right. I didn't want the baby at first, but when I felt it kick and heard its first heartbeats, I melted and started crying. There was nothing more I wanted with them then to be a family.
"Thank you for giving me this life. Thank you for changing me, and proving to me there's so much more to life than being a player. You and him are my entire world. I love you, so much," I say to her.
"I love you, too." She says drifting off to sleep, and I do the same. This right here, this is what love is.
