"-phie... Sophie," a voice came from above me.

I slowly blinked open my eyes to see Keefe's face above mine. There were tears in his eyes, yet he was smiling.

"Do you want to hold him?" he asked, pure joy in his voice and on his face.

My eyes trailed down until they were resting on the blankets in Keefe's arms.

Kenric.

A smile broke out over my face, and I sat up in the bed. I reached out my arms to hold my baby, and Keefe gently placed him in my arms. 

For the first time, I looked into the face of my sleeping baby boy. My world suddenly shifted to make room for another, for my Kenric.

A laughed bubbled up from inside me and I looked up at Keefe. He smiled in a way I wasn't sure I'd ever seen before, a smile of pure admiration and love. 

"You've never looked more beautiful."

Even though I was covered in sweat and felt far from it, I could see in Keefe's eyes that he meant every word. 

"I love you." 

"And I love you," Keefe replied, dropping his face to be level with mine as he kissed me softly. 

I was content. I had everything I could ever want.
