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.
