Kasen POV
I stare at my beautiful sleeping wife, grasping her hand in desperation. The doctors have told us that premature babies born at 33 weeks have a 95% chance of living a normal, healthy life, but it's my child, I can't help but be worried.
Adeline's face when the nurses took our baby to the NICU earlier haunts me every time I close my eyes. I want to lose my cool, but I know I have to be strong for her. Especially with this dumbass lawsuit coming up. The thought of the lawsuit pisses me the fuck off, I can't believe that son of a bitch thinks he can sue my wife for custody of OUR child.
That motherfucker thinks he deserves to be in Jack's life, what a fucking joke. He doesn't deserve that, he deserves absolutely nothing.
Adeline starts to stir in her sleep, fluttering her eyelids before those gorgeous eyes look into mine.
I smile, "Hey baby, how are you feeling?"
She softly clears her throat, "how's our baby?"
I chuckle gently at her quick reaction.
"He's doing good babe, he's in the NICU. Doctors say he's extremely strong so far."
She nods her head and takes a deep breath.
"We still need to pick a name," I remind her in hopes of cheering her up.
Thank god my tactics work and I finally see her smile.
"What about Kane? It means warrior in Gaelic." She offers.
A huge grin comes across my face, "Kane King, our little warrior. Our little survivor. I love it babe."
Her smile brightens her face and I reach down to kiss her hard.
"Middle name?" She asks when I finish kissing her.
"What about Andrew? It was my great grandfather's name." I suggest.
"Kane Andrew King. I love it!" She claps her hands in excitement.
"What did I ever do to deserve a beautiful, amazing, strong wife like you?"
"The better question is, what did I do to deserve you?"
I smile and kiss her again.
"Ready to meet your baby boy?" The nurse interrupts us. We both nod enthusiastically.
"Follow me." She instructs, helping Ads into a wheelchair and leading us towards the NICU.
*One Month Later
Adeline POV
"Kasen! I need some help!" I yell over the sounds of our screeching newborn. It has been a month since his birth and we finally were allowed to take him home two days ago.
Kasen sleepily stumbles into the nursery, rubbing his eyes before holding out his arms.
I hand over Kane and instantly Kane falls back asleep.
I frown, frustrated, "how do you do that? I swear our children love you more than me."
He chuckles and shakes his head, "no they don't baby. I've read newborns like skin to skin contact. I must be that I never wear a shirt when I'm in the house."
"Well, I mean..." I pause, biting my lip and checking out his hot, toned, muscular body, "I like skin to skin contact with you too...so I guess I understand that..."
His eyes flare with lust, and I giggle at his reaction.
"Baby, don't tease me. I'm dying to be back inside of you..." He trails off.
I drop my head, feeling guilty.
He picks up on my mood change so he reassures me, "baby, I know the doctor said after this birth to wait four to six weeks before having sex. I'm not blaming you, I'm just letting you know how excited I am."
Biting my lip nervously, I nod my head.
He grabs my chin softly, lifting it up so we make eye contact. "Babe, I promise you that I'm not trying to rush you into anything or make you feel bad."
I turn away from him and cross my arms.
"Ads, what's wrong?!" He turns me back to face him.
I crack my knuckles nervously before I start explaining, "it's not anything to do with you babe. I know you're not trying to make me feel bad or anything. And I really want you to be inside of me again soon. It's just.." I pause, feeling a little foolish at my reasoning.
"It's just...I feel really insecure right now about my body. I know part of it is my hormones that are all out of wack after the birth, but I just feel gross about myself right now."
Kasen grabs my shoulders, "look at me Adeline."
I drop my eyes to my feet and gulp before meeting my eyes with his.
"You are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful babe. Not only are you strikingly gorgeous and have a hot tight little body, but you have an amazing heart. Everything about you is beautiful..."
"Thank you babe, I just still feel really insecure about this," I point to my tummy that still holds the baby weight.
"Ads, first of all, don't ever feel insecure about that. You gave me a child baby. You and I made a HUMAN LIFE, and you grew it inside of you and brought it into this world. We created a miracle, and that is just proof of that. Second of all, I adore and worship you no matter what size you are. To me you are just perfect and always drop dead sexy, you always turn me on, no matter what."
I smile, tears dripping down my face. I sniff and wipe them away.
With a small smile, I joke, "damn hormones."
Kasen chuckles before pulling me into a hug and kissing the top of my head.
"I love you," I say.
"I love you too. Always." He promises before we leave Kane's nursery and head to our bedroom.
Cuddling up tightly into him, I fall asleep, feeling secure and safe in his strong arms.
