For those who wanted a happy ending...
Kim touched every inch of him. His skin was warm and soft beneath her fingertips and it was so addictive; she loved feeling warm skin, she loved waking up next to warm skin and the feeling of having warm skin pressed against her never ceased to calm her. When she needed comfort, his warmth gave it to her.
Now this was like a drug, her drug and never wanted to come down from this high. It was intoxicating and she couldn't get enough. She wanted this moment to last forever.
Adam's arms were wrapped around her and when she looked up at him, the love of her life, the reason she made it this far, the tears that tumbled down his cheeks were beautiful to see. And pure, he was a pure man and he was her man, he always had been. His hold on her heart was vice like. Whatever the highs and lows they'd endured Adam was always right beside her, he never let her fall very far.
An angry cry interrupted their moment and they dragged their gaze away from each other and looked into the pale grey eyes of their newborn son.
He came into their world in a hurry after a two-hour labour, three weeks early and full of piss and wind. It was like he knew that he couldn't keep them waiting. He was screaming blue murder, his arms and legs splayed as Dr Sanderson lifted him up for them to see and it was the sweetest sound they'd ever heard.
Leo's baby brother wanted everyone to know that he was here but he was not particularly happy about it.
His parents didn't care. He could protest all he liked nothing was going to change how perfect they thought he was and how much he already controlled their hearts. They tried not to get too attached throughout the pregnancy, which had been an emotional rollercoaster but the reality was from the moment that line showed up on that stick they craved this baby. It was love at first sight and they were completely overwhelmed by him as soon as they heard his cry and felt his skin, his warm skin against Kim's chest and beneath their fingers.
He had the same dark hair as Leo, he had ten perfect fingers and toes and a wicked set of lungs. He was smaller than his brother and that made him seem all the more precious. He curled his hand around his father's finger as he nuzzled around, grunting and squawking until he found his mother's breast. They were totally in love.
Archie Ruzek was here and he was full of life.
Thanks for reading. It was certainly an emotional story and it even made me cry a few times writing it. I hope you enjoyed it despite the heaviness of the subject. Many thanks for the likes and reviews, it's much appreciated. Until next time.
