-ROSE'S P.O.V-

     As she sleeps I can only admire her beauty more. She's so innocent when she sleeps. She smiles when she sleeps.
     She was so scared to give me what I asked for. But once we were done, she was the first one to fall asleep. She's so beautiful.
     It was beautiful. All of it was beautiful. And I'm thankful we finally were able to be together in that way again.
    I didn't know how much I missed her until we were during. She's so perfect. At least to me she is.
    I lightly kiss her cheek and she rolls over on me. I love how even in her sleep she still has an automatic response to wrap her arm around me. I can't stop smiling.
    Her breath lightly beats against my shoulder as she curls close to me. Just her like this... her unintentionally holding me in her sleep. She is my absolute everything.
    My thoughts finally slow down and I start to fall asleep.
"I love you so much, Zee." I whisper lightly.
    I fall asleep to her heart beat. To her soft breath lightly against my shoulder. I love my wife so much.

    A kiss to my cheek wakes me. I can't help but smile instantly.
"Hey beautiful."
"Hey babygirl."
"Are you alright?"
    I look over to her. "I'm perfect, babygirl."
    She smiles and kisses my cheek again.
"You were pretty out when Andrew was crying. I fed him and stuff already."
"I was out that long?"
    She nods and kisses my forehead. As she pulls back, I see worry line her beautiful light blue eyes. I lightly cup her cheek. "I'm okay, Zhee. I promise."
     Her face turns and she lightly kisses my palm. I love how she does this.
"How about we go out for breakfast? Or lunch."
"Yeah, that would be nice."
   She helps me up and I get dressed. Her eyes linger the whole time. At least she makes me feel at least somewhat better about my body.
"You're beautiful, asshole. Don't you dare think I think differently."
    I raise my hands in the air and she kisses my lips lightly to surprise me. I smile against hers before she pulls back.
   She takes my hand and leads me downstairs. She already has all Andrew's bags packed and ready and him dressed in extra blankets and ready to go.
"Plan this?"
"Sort of. I had some time."
"You should have woken me."
"And if I would have you would have cooked and I think you've done your fair share lately."
"Your way of telling me I get a break?"
"Mhm."
    She takes Andrew and I grab his bags. In the car after everything is settled, she grabs my hand before driving off.
"Where are we going?"
"You pick a place?"
"Maybe just a diner. I don't really want fast foods."
    She lightly squeezes my hand.
"Why the out for meal? I could have cooked."
"Because I want to treat my wife to a meal that she didn't cook."
"So the constant worry in your eyes is for what?"
"I just worry if I hurt you. If you're in pain. It's been a while, okay? And I'm scared. I don't know if you're in pain half the time because you're an asshole that hides that from me."
"I'm not in pain, babygirl. And I don't intentionally hide that from you."
"Mhm."
    I bring her hand to my lips and lightly kiss. She sighs.
"I worry."
"I'm good, ZZ. No pain. Stop worrying. Last night was perfect."
     I see a smile grow and she nods. As we reach the diner, she grabs Andrew. As we walk in the diner, I pay.
    Andrew catches a few eyes and compliments. He is a really handsome little man. I love him so much.
     He's smiled for us already. And already has a facial expression for.. yeah.
     As we finish eating, Zee kisses my cheek.
"Want to go home and watch a movie?"
"Why are you being so... gentle?"
"I am? I just want to make sure you are alright."
"I told you I am."
"I know, babe. Let's go home and watch a movie."
     She gets Andrew and we walk out. It's been a slow day and her actions are slightly worrying me. Her worrying is worrying me.
     She drives home and when we get home she takes Andrew to bed. I climb into bed and she flops next to me. She wraps her arms around me instantly.
"Maybe nap first." She mumbles against my shoulder.
"Why are you acting differently?"
"I'm not."
"You are."
"Fine. I have my worries. I just want to treat you right, Ro."
"You do, babygirl. I'm perfect. No pain. Last night was amazing. I don't know why you are so worried."
"Just a wife's worries. You scare me. I worry if I hurt you."
   I quickly move and straddle her.
"You didn't. I'm great. On top of the world." I raise my fists in the air and pump them.
"You fucking idiot."
    I drop my hands and pin her.
"I love you. You need to stop worrying. I will tell you if you hurt me. I'll tell you."
"Okay... I'm sorry."
     I lean down and kiss her cheek. "I'm alright, babygirl. I promise."
     She leans up and claims my lips. The kiss is sweet. Her lips are always sweet.
   As the kiss parts, I feel her smile against my lips.
"I love when you do that."
"Do what?"
"Smile against my lips."
    Her smile grows. I lean down and peck her lips to be annoying. And it gets her attention.
    She does it to me all the time. It sucks cause I'm not given the chance to kiss back.
   I flop over on my side next to her. She groans. After a moment she curls next to me.
"My queen shall have the nap she desires."
     She laughs to me. "Aren't you a honorable king."
"Of course I am."
      I yawn but try to cover it.
"Or you're wanting a nap just as much as I am."
"That would also be the case."
    She laughs at me again. Her arms wrap around me and I instantly feel warmth. I don't know how someone can be so perfectly warm.
     It doesn't take us long to fall asleep to each other. Our heart beats match as we fall. Our breathing syncs too.
"I love you, Ro."
"I love you too, babygirl."

    I wake up to Zee's arm whacking me in the face.
"I'm sooo sorrrryyyy." She wakes up instantly as I groan.
"Why the fuck do you do that?"
"It's not my fault." She moves her arm away and sighs.
"Hm. Yeah, whatever."
"Baaaabe. Babe, no. Babe, love me. I'm sorry, babe. Forgive meeee."
    I laugh at her and push her off. "At least it's not drool this time."
"Hey. You bit me once."
"I was pregnant and having a really weird dream, okay? Not my fucking fault."
    She laughs lightly. She hums lightly as she somehow manages to get even closer to me. We always sleep close, I like it when she sleeps with me like this.
"Can we sle" she's interrupted by Andrew crying. "Never mind."
    I get up before she does and I push her back down on the bed as she tries to get up.
"Baaabe noooo."
"I'll take care of him. I won't be long and then we can sleep more."
    Her eyes... Her beautiful light blue eyes. Soft as the ocean... Her eyes search mine but gives up as soon as she knows I'm being serious.
    She exaggerates and sticks her tongue out like she is dead. I roll my eyes and walk off.
"I love you." She yells at me as I walk down to Andrew's room.
"I love you too." I holler back.
    As soon as I get in his room and turn his light on, he stops crying. I pick him up and he smiles to me.
"Lilman hungry?"
    He smiles wider.
"Take that as a yes."
     I raise him to my nose to smell of he had gone, but he hasn't.
"But after you eat you will."
     His smile stays big. I shake my head and begin walking downstairs with him. Sitting him in his crib, Max, our pup sits guard instantly.
    Where Andrew goes, he goes. It's pretty nice to have that comfort. I make Andrew a bottle quickly before picking him up again. I start my journey upstairs while feeding him.
     Just slowly walking the hall to his room, he feeds fast but I have to pace him so he won't go so quickly. As I reach his room, he finishes. Preparing myself to burp him, he doesn't take long.
      And just as I am about to set him down in the crib to make sure I have his diapers and stuff ready. He make a his special face that a normal person who doesn't know him would think is cute. But to us... he basically just said that he shit and he's ready for us to clean it.
    Max curls on the other side of the crib as I grab all the stuff to change Andrew. I like having a dog. Even though he's not really ours, he's Andrew's.
     I change Andrew and of course he pees on me. It's like an every time thing. It's like he holds it just so he can pee on Zee or I.
     I sigh. I swaddle him and he instantly falls asleep. He is cute, he just pees on you. That's his flaw. He pees on you.
    I set him in his crib and walk out. As I get in our room, I immediately go to the bathroom. Cleaning myself up and changing shirts is just my normal now. We go through so much laundry.
    All worth it, honestly.
    I come back in our room and change my shirt before I crawl on top of Zee and flop down.
"Umf."
"Hi."
"Hey."
"Take nap?"
"How was he?"
"The usual."
"Pee on you?"
"Mhm."
"He's got a bad sense of humor."
"Like his mother."
"Which one?"
"Fair play, babygirl."
    She laughs and kisses my forehead. I nuzzle closer to her and feel myself drift to sleep again.
"I love you, Ro." She relieves me from wakestate.
"I love you too, babygirl." I barely slip out as I fall asleep.
    Her heart beats slow in my ear ad I lay against her chest. And her breathing is even. All a melody that sends me straight to sleep.
    I love her so much.
