months. You’re beautiful.” She held her until Angel starting crying. Kay tried to calm her, but it didn’t work. She kept crying. “Jason,” she whispered, “take her.”
    As soon as Jason picked her up and started whispering to her, she stopped crying. He whispered, “Hey, baby, Daddy’s here.”
    The sound of his voice seemed to calm her. Kay stared at him. The wa y he was so gentle with her, caressed and calmed her, made her love him even more.
    He rocked her to sleep close to his heart. “She loves the sound of my heart.”
    She whispered, “She doesn’t like me.”
    “Sweetie, that’s not true. She was just a little fussy. Give her some time. She had a few days to bond with me. Now she needs to bond with you.”
    “You’re so good with her. Thank you for everything,” she said with tears in her eyes.
    He wiped her tears. “Doll eyes, you don’t have to thank me. It’s my duty as your husband and her dad. I love you guys. You and Angel are everything to me.”
    Kay wondered, how did I get so lucky? Why did I waste so much time? She finally had her own family, something she’d never thought possible.

    Two days passed, and it was time for Kay to go home. She was happy to be finally going home to her family.
    “Hi, doll eyes, are you ready to go hom e?”
    She smile d at him. “Yes, where’s Angel?”
    “She is at home with my parents waiting for you,” he answered, helping her get up.
    Kay grabbed his hands. “Can we go somewhere? Just you and me, just for a little bit.”
    “Where would you like to go ?”
    “Can we go down by the lake ? I just need some time, please.” S he said, sitting in the wheel chair.
    “Ok. ” He was a bit confused, but he thought, She needs this.

    He pulled the car around, opened the passenger door, and helped her into the car gently. They drove to the lake in silence. He would wait until she was ready to talk. Finally pulling up to the lake, and she was the first one out. She walked out, inhaled the fresh air, exhaled and sat on the grass looking up at the sky. He c ame up behind her, sat down, wrapping his arms around her waist.
    “Why are we here, Kay? Why aren’t we home with our baby?” he asked.
    She remained silent, and tears started running down her face. She whispered, “Why Jason?”
    “Why? Why what?” he asked.
    “Why do you care so much for us?”
    Her question confused him, but he whispered in her ear, “It’s simple because I love you. I’ve always loved you. Don’t you know that by now? Haven’t I shown you yet you’re everything to me, Kay? And when it comes to Angel, I love my little girl, and I would give my life for her. You’re my family.” He turned her face to look into her eyes. “What’s wrong? Are you changing your mind about us?”
    She stared back at him. “No, Jason, I would never change my mind about you. I love you too much. You’re everything I’ve always wanted in a man. I just want you to be sure.”
    “Sure of what?” he asked. “That I can’t live without you? Do you know the hell I went through when you were in a coma? I would’ve traded places with you in a heartbeat. I’m sure of you, and I’m sure of us. We’re a family now.” He cupped her cheeks and kissed her lips. He had missed her taste. He started nibbling on her bottom lip. This is where he wanted to be, with the love of his life. They stopped kissing. “Let’s go home to our baby.”
    He got up and helped her up and started walking to the car, she said, “I’m scared.”
    He turned to her and asked, “Of what?”
    “Of Angel,” she answered, looking away from him. He started laughing. “Stop laughing at me.”
    “Why are you scared of Angel?” he asked with laughter in his voice.
    “She doesn’t like me; it’s all about daddy,” she said smiling.
    “Stop being so jealous,” he teased. “Look, she will be all about you as soon as we get home and you start breast feeding her.
