Chapter 11. Baby

I had been married to James for almost a year. During that time, I had been promoted a few times at work, and am now Vice President of Hunter Publishing Co. Being the VP is a lot of work, but I also get to work right besides James more often which is a plus. This also allows us to see each other more during the day.

That same year, James and I got some very exciting news.

I was pregnant.

I don't think I had ever seen James so happy about something before, with the exception of our wedding day. He was really excited to become a dad.

He went to all of my doctor's appointments with me, turned one of the guest rooms into a nursury, he never complained when he had to go out at 3 a.m. to get whatever it was I was craving, and he rubbed my back and feet if they were sore.

He was absolutely wonderful to me and he would be a fantastic father.

A few months later, and Riley James Hunter was born. He was 8lbs 6oz and 20in. long.

He was a very healthy baby and didn't cry much. He slept pretty well for a newborn.

He sure had quite an appetite though. He got that from his father.

Months flew by and before we knew it, Riley was a year and a half and was trying to talk and crawl. The first word he said was "Da." The look on James' face when he heard that was priceless. Riley learned to say "Ma" not too long after.

By the time he was about a two years old, Riley was already up and walking and talking. As well as a baby could anyways. It was also around this age that Riley decided he like listening to his daddy's music.

While he worked, James liked to listen to rock music. The one song he seemed to play the most was Icky Thump by The White Stripes. I'm not sure why, but Riley just loves listening to that song too. If he wanted to hear it, he'd say "Icky".

James and I would joke and say that Riley was gonna end up being a handful.

We just talked and laughed about all the things we'd have to go through when Riley got older.

We didn't know that soon our lives would never be the same again.

A/N: I know this chapter was a bit short, but it had to be that way.

Feel free to review!

See you next time! :)
