“Hi love.” He kissed me on the lips and wrapped his arms around me. “Are you okay love, you’re sweating?”

“I’m fine, I’ve just been cleaning,” I said. “Come sit down for a minute.”

“What’s wrong? Is something wrong with you?” he asked as he sat down and I face him on the couch. I grabbed his hand, squeezing it before I spoke. “You’re scaring me, Sophia.”

“Oh sweetheart, don’t be scared,” I said. “I’m pregnant.” A grin crept across my face as I watched him for a reaction.

His beautiful eyes grew wide and his lips parted, his teeth shining from the smile. “Really?” he asked. I shook my head yes and his eyes glisten from newly formed tears. “Oh my God, I can’t believe it.” He reached out and placed his hand on my belly. “We’re going to have a baby.”

“I still need to make a doctor’s appointment, but I’m late and the pregnancy test I took today said I am.” I placed my hand upon his and leaned forward kissing his lips.

Kayden wrapped me in his arms smothering me with the kiss. His lips broke from mine as he held my face between his hands. “A baby, you’re giving me a baby. You’ve made me the happiest man in the world. I love you, Sophia.”

“I love you too, Kayden, you’ve given me the greatest gift in the world,” I said staring into his eyes. Kayden still had the ability to steal my breath like he did the first time he kissed me. Navy blue had been wiped out and replaced by a rainbow of colors. Kayden had filled my world with the color that I’d lacked and now a piece of us would be entwined forever in the form of a child.
