Family Portrait
Prompt 20 - Writers Choice - Family
~x~
He was their miracle. Jack Carson Bennett. The miracle that saved them. After the initial shock had passed and the knowledge of the pregnancy was known to all, things between Addison and Sam gradually became easier. But it wasn't until the moment their eyes met those of their son that everything changed. Within that moment they became a family, they were no longer Addison, Sam and the baby that forced them to stay together, they were Addison, Sam and Jack, a family.
Watching them together. That was her favourite thing to do. Looking out of their bedroom window and watching Sam try and soothe Jack to sleep as he paced the deck, hoping the sounds of the waves and the sea air would send him into slumber. Hearing Jack's giggle as Sam pulled silly faces at him while he bathed him. Her heart fluttered at the sound. Coming home to find them asleep on the sofa with Jack curled up against Sam's chest, his small hand clutching lightly at the fabric of his fathers shirt.
She still had moments of doubt, where she thought Sam was just going to up and leave them. Moments where she felt like everything was just going to fall apart. But then she'd watch them together. And the doubt would wash away.
They'd get married one day. With no frills or fuss. They'd just wake up, get dressed, and head to City Hall with Jack content in his stroller. Calling in Amelia and Sheldon to be their witnesses. Vows would be said. Rings would be exchanged. And they'd be married. As simple as that.
Addison always dreamed of a family. A husband who adored her and a child to raise. And nothing would ever beat the feeling of waking up knowing her family were there.
