"I love you," he whispers in my ear and I breathe deeply, trying to keep my emotions at bay. It doesn't work, however, when I hear what he says next. "It doesn't matter, baby.

And when I opened my eyes and you were here… I can't tell you how I was feeling… I was… serene; peaceful. Calm because you were here, home with me."

"I love you," I whisper and I turn into his embrace. "God, I love you so much."

I cry more and he rocks me, calming me.
