“You always do. Isn’t that right, baby?” She tickles Vaughn, and he giggles, completely forgetting about the battle.
I take it back. He’s not that good of a sidekick.
She places her hand on my chest and adjusts the collar of my shirt. “Instead of being a grinch for sport, how about you help us out?”
“I’m going to have to pass.”
“If you do this, I might have a special present for you later.”
I raise a brow. “What type of present?”
She does the motion of zipping her mouth, locking it, and throwing away the key. “I promise you’ll love it, though.”
“Love it, huh?”
“Uh-huh.”
“You know I can’t say no to that.”
“Yes!” She smiles and then kisses me on the lips before taking Vaughn from my arms.
He holds on to her with all his might and grins up at me like a little angel.
I lived my whole life not believing in family. I never imagined I’d have one of my own, but these two people have made me proud to be both a father and a husband.
For a long time, I was looking for a purpose, and I thought it was the grandiose things, the prestigious position, and the endless money.
Turns out, it was as simple as having a woman who challenges me every step of the way but loves me unconditionally anyway. And a son who looks at me as if I’m his role model.
I grab her by the waist and kiss her forehead. “Thank you.”
She looks up at me with a beautiful smile. “For what?”
“For being my family, Solnyshko.”
“I should be the one to thank you for that.” She faces me. “Thank you for giving me this happiness that I thought I’d lost for good, Luchik.”
I lift her chin and kiss her as our son claps like the best cheerleader.
We met as broken beings, but now we’re putting each other together again.
One piece at a time.
We were separate entities, but now, we’re one.
I’m hers.
She’s fucking mine.
Until death do us part.
