She walked into Sophia's nursery, smiling as she immediately spotted her husband's large frame leaning over their daughter's crib.
He watched her walk towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing a kiss to his back. "Baby, what are you doing?" she whispered ever so quietly. "Did she wake you up? You should have woken me."
Shaking his head, he whispered back, "No, she hasn't woken up since we put her to sleep."
He turned in her arms, drawing her in tightly. "I just wanted to check on her, make sure she was ok."
"Honey, did you sleep at all?" she asked as she pushed a lock of hair from his forehead.
He looked everywhere but at her, he was a terrible liar and she could read him instantly like a book.
She guided his face to meet her eyes, looking at him knowingly, "Damon, it's her first night at home. You've got to get some sleep while you can, baby."
He brought his lips to hers, kissing her softly. "I know. But I just couldn't help it. She's so beautiful and perfect and I can't believe she's finally here. I love being a daddy already."
Emily 's heart melted at the words of her big, tough rockstar husband who deep down was really just a teddy bear and the best husband and father she ever could've dreamed of having.
The past, almost six years, of having him in her life had completely changed the path of life she thought she would be traveling down. Marriage they just had their three year wedding anniversary and a family weren't really in her short term plans after winning the Olympics, but that had all changed the day she met Damon Young at the kegger and later at the pizza shack.
