Spencer stood in the kitchen pouring a cup of coffee when something slammed into his knee causing him to nearly spill his hot drink.

"Whoa, careful," he said reaching for a napkin to wipe up the small drops that escaped the mug.

"Amornin' daddy!"

Spencer smiled down at the little messy-haired brunette who stared up at him, her large chocolate eyes staring up at him. Right behind her was Sky, who never let Sadie out of his sight.

"Good morning princess, did you sneak out of your bed again?" he asked chuckling.

"I climb," Sadie said.

"I see that. I guess, Mommy and I will have to bite the bullet and get you a bed," Spencer said as he bent down to pick Sadie up.

"Sadie is a big girl. I sleep in big bed," Sadie said smiling brightly.

"Sadie is a big girl. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?" he asked her, before pressing his lips to her chubby cheek.

"No, I want down," she said wiggling in his arms. "Come here," she said running off.

Spencer placed his drink down and followed her to the living room. He found her pulling something off the bookshelf and carrying it to him. Spencer smiled at his daughter's love of reading. She handed him the book and ran straight for the couch. He watched as she struggled to get her tiny legs up on to the couch. He went behind her and gave her diapered tush a small shove. He sat down next to her and opened the book, Sky plopping down in front of Sadie.

As usual, she picked a fairytale about princesses, but it had little to no pictures in it. Her imagination was so vivid she didn't need pictures to follow the story. Molly was sure that she was showing signs of having Spencer's IQ. She was only 2 years old and she spoke more words than most children her age, she was able to write her name – messily, but still legible, she could read small words, and she remembered everything Spencer and Molly taught her.

As they read the book together, Spencer felt someone's eyes on him. He turned to glance behind him and saw Molly leaning against the doorframe smiling at him.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said.

Sadie sat up to look over the couch and began bouncing with excitement.

"Amornin' mommy! Come read wiff us!" she called out.

Molly walked over to the couch and sat down next to Spencer. He leaned over and gave her a quick, gentle kiss, before placing his hand on her swollen belly.

"How's the little prince this morning?" he asked.

"Doing acrobats as usual," Molly said as she ran her hand over Spencer's.

"Daddy, read," Sadie said pointing at the book.

Spencer smiled and went back to reading, while Molly sat nearby rubbing her moving belly. She flashed back to the days when she thought she'd be alone forever. She remembered meeting Spencer for the first time and how she promised herself she'd never fall in love. Now here she sat with not only the man of her dreams but her amazing daughter and a son on the way. She thanked God that after all the years of suffering she finally understood true happiness, true love, had a true family. Her heart was finally whole and complete.
