Heyyy, I'm back with another chapter! As y'all can see...things are progressing nicely between AJ and Rosie. Let's just say that continues on into this chapter. ie: NSFW! You have been warned ;) Shoutout to my girls JustCherry73, wwechristina and GoldenGirl1920 for your continued love and support! Love you ladies!

I don't own anyone affiliated with the WWE. I only own Rosie and the storyline.

Now let's get this going! ENJOY!


Previously...

AJ POV

"God, I freakin' love you, baby. But you're wrong about one thing, darlin'," I tell her and lean in, pushing Rosie onto her back as I hover over her.

"Oh yeah…and what's that?" She breathes with a happy grin as she reaches up to play with my beard some more.

"I will never get tired of you," I whisper hoarsely, pressing a kiss to her lips, showing nothing but promise.

Rosalie POV

"You mean that?" I ask quietly after AJ breaks the kiss, still having that lingering doubt deep inside. I don't want to have it, but I just can't help it. I'd be broken and devastated if he ever got tired of me.

AJ looks down at me and presses another breathtaking kiss to my lips. I'm pretty sure he saw the look on my face when I questioned him about it. "I do, darlin'. It's sad to say this because I was married to the woman for almost 25 years, but I'd bet my life when I say, you loved and love me more in the 5 short years you've known me than she ever did in the amount of time we were married. I could never get tired of someone who loves me as much as you do. As much as you support me and are there for me.

"You put me before yourself, baby. All the time. I've never met anyone like that before. Even Darcy never did that. I'd be foolish and stupid to become tired of the person who puts their significant other before themselves. And you did that before I even knew how you felt. So no, Rosalie. I will never get tired of you," he tells me, his voice gentle as he caresses the apple of my cheek with his calloused thumb.

A sudden pained look grows in AJ's blue eyes and he hangs his head, resting his forehead against my shoulder, "goddamn it," he whispers, sounding irritated about something.

"What is it? What's wrong?" I asked becoming taken aback by the sudden change in his demeanor. He leans up and looks down at me with regret and hurt in his eyes.

"I don't have any protection, Rose. I wasn't planning on something like this happening. Hell, I never expected this to happen," AJ explains to me and gets up, sitting next to me on the bed with his head in his hands.

Quickly sitting up myself, I straddle his lap, giving him no choice but to look up at me. "I just keep fucking everything up, Rosie. First me keepin' you at arms length and almost pushin' you away, completely. And now this," he gripes and I shake my head at him.

"Would you stop berating yourself for every little thing. You didn't fuck up anything, sweetheart. If you're willing to…we can go without protection. I'm on birth control and I'm clean. Besides, I trust you, AJ… implicitly," I tell him and his eyes dart up to meet mine.

"You do?" He asks as he glides his large hands up and down my thighs, sending a shiver throughout my body from his touch. I can see the small smirk grace his face when he notices.

"If I didn't…I wouldn't be here right now. And I wouldn't be straddling you the way I am if I didn't trust you. Besides, my need for you is so strong right now, that I don't care…if I have to, I'll get one of those plan b pills in the morning," I tell him.

AJ nods his head and rests his forehead on mine. His hands ride higher on my thighs until they grip my ass and he pulls me in until out bodies are flush together. I release something between a moan and a gasp when I feel his member collide with my needy core.

"You alright, darlin'?" AJ asks me, but I can hear the mirth in his tone. I pull back to look at him and the smirk on his face causes me to shake my head at him. But then a smirk of my own appears.

"I'll be even better when I have you buried deep inside of me," I breathe in his ear, licking the shell of it. The growl escaping AJ, causes a delightful shiver to run through me.

Lightly gripping my upper arms, AJ pushes me back some and I know he can see how strong my desire to have him is. "Raise yourself up onto your knees for me, beautiful," he orders me, his voice rough, but gentle and I obey his command without hesitation. "That's my good girl," he praises me and grabs his erection, aligning it with my core.

It's been a while since I've done this and AJ is thick, so I brace myself by gripping his shoulders and slowly begin to lower myself down onto his girth. "Oh my god," I release a shuddering breath as I continue to take all of AJ inside me.

"You're doing so well, baby," AJ tells me quietly until I finally bottom out around him. After more than a few moments of letting me get accustomed to him, AJ asks softly, "are you alright, darlin'? You haven't started moving…I just wanna make sure you're okay," he says, pushing my hair out of my face.

Looking up into his eyes, I see the true concern burning in them as he looks back at me and it makes me fall in love with him even more. "Yeah, I'm okay. It's…it's been a bit for me and you're big," I explain to him and a small understanding grin grows on his face.

"You want me to take over for now? Then when you're ready for it, you can have your fun with me," AJ replies. I raise my eyebrow at him for his choice of wording, but I shake my head. Instead, I raise myself back up to my knees until only his head is still buried inside me, before I slam myself back onto his length. "Fuck, Rosie," he cries out.

"No. I want to have my fun with you, now. I just needed to get use to having something large inside of me again after so long. My toys have nothing on you, baby," I tell him and the change in AJ's eyes as they darken at my admission causes me to grin wildly at him.

"Did you…shit…did you think about me when you used your toys on yourself, baby?" AJ grunts out when I begin rocking my hips against his. The way his eyes never leave my face and the intensity of his stare stirs something deep inside me. Now knowing how this man feels about me, gives me a power I didn't even know I possessed. Not a power to control him or have him do what I want…but a power to love him passionately and unconditionally the way I've always wanted to.

"I think you already know the answer to that," I breathe in reply before roughly grinding my hips into AJ's, taking in the look on his face. A primal look develops there and his hands return to my ass. The grip he produces on it is painful, but it's a welcoming pain. He squeezes my ass cheeks while pushing me further onto him, assisting my actions to help create more of that friction we both want.

"Such a dirty girl…getting yourself off while thinking about a married man," he groans out with a snarl and the look on his face rips a whimper from me.

"I think that point is moot, baby. You're mine, now and that's not going to change. I can have you whenever I want and I won't feel guilty about it, either," I tell AJ and a satisfied growl escapes him at my statement.

Suddenly, within seconds, I'm on my back and AJ is hovering over me with a possessive look in his eyes. Almost like something in him had snapped. A lick of fear consumes me as he continues to stare down at me with such intensity, the look in his eyes unchanging, until I slowly begin to see the AJ I know coming back to me.

"Say it again," he tells me, sounding almost desperate as he grips my thigh to raise it higher around his waist. The new angle AJ creates when he drops himself onto his forearms, but bends his knee that forces my leg up higher, causes me to cry out my approval. The new angle causes me to lose all train of thought except the feelings coursing through me as he continues to roughly thrust up into me. "Say. It. Again…please. I need to hear you say it," AJ grunts in my ear.

I have to think about what it is he wants me to repeat until I remember the words I said moments ago. With the tone in his voice when he asked it, has me thinking that he hasn't been told that in a while. Towards the end of their marriage, Darcy made him feel unwanted…unloved. Made him feel useless as a man when she cheated on him. And that's when I realize that he needs that reassurance. The reassurance that he's not alone and that he's actually wanted.

Reaching a hand up, I cup the back of AJ's head and gently thread my fingers through his silky strands as I hold him against me. "You're mine, Allen Jones. And that's not going to change. I will never not want you for as long as I live. You're mine and I promise to love you unconditionally for the rest of my life. You'll never have to think twice about how I feel about you, baby," I whisper in his ear.

AJ's thrusts become more at ease, but the power of them do not falter as he buries his face into my neck. I hear his whispered words that he loves me in my ear. My hold on him tightens as I feel him bring me closer to release. The fact that he so desperately needs this reassurance breaks my heart, but it also encourages and challenges me to love him like he's never been loved before.

"AJ, baby…look at me," I gently order him as my lips caress his cheek with my words. I feel his body lift up and his face removed from my neck, as he allows his eyes to land on mine. When he looks at me I can see I have my AJ back, but I can still see that small lingering of doubt clouded there…the raw emotion is painted on his face.

Oh baby, how badly did she hurt you?

"I love you, so much. So much that it scares me because you have the power to destroy me if you ever decided you no longer feel the same way," I confess to him and the look in his eyes change once more.

"That's not going to happen. I know what that feels like and it sucks. I felt like giving up, but then I remembered I had you, Rosalie. I had my one constant in life…my one friend that I knew wouldn't give up on me even if I wanted to give up on myself. But to learn that that one constant in my life loved me as more than just a friend…I knew I couldn't lose you. So please, don't be afraid…I know my actions spoke differently, but that was before I knew how you truly felt about me. Never doubt my feelings for you; I love you, Rosie and like you told me…that's not going to change," he tells me before leaning down to press a kiss to my lips.

AJ deepens the kiss and reaches down to grab my thigh, again. He repositions my leg over his shoulder and begins to pound relentlessly into me. Breaking the kiss, I cry out into the room at how good he feels as he fills me over and over again.

"Let me hear you, Rosie," AJ groans out, his voice rough as he continues to pound his hips into mine. Our bodies becoming slick with a sheen of sweat despite the room temperature being on the colder side. My hold on him tightens as I feel my release rapidly encroaching in on me.

"AJ…baby, I'm so close," I whimper, but it turns into a loud cry when he changes the position and angle of his hips that allows his dick to rub against me the right way.

"Then come for me, baby. Come for me, darlin'," he grunts out, intensifying the power of his thrusts, not taking his eyes off me. "Give me everything you've got, Rosalie," AJ rasps out.

Reaching up, I tuck AJ's hair behind his ear before gripping the side of his neck. Leaning in, I press a kiss to his lips, whispering against them, "I want you to come with me." I squeeze my walls tightly around his girth and it spurs him on because AJ picks up the pace of his thrusts to an almost punishing speed.

I'm helpless against his movements as I cry out his name. The only thing I can do is hold onto him as AJ continues to pound relentlessly into me. Moments later, I can't even voice my release because I'm coming all over him with a loud cry of his name.

"Shit…babe, I'm gonna," AJ groans out before his thrusts falter and his body stiffens as he releases into me with spurt after spurt into my tight channel. I tighten my hold on him even more as I feel his body shake from the intensity of his orgasm before he collapses on top of me in a giant heap. I grunt at the impact of his large solid body landing on mine, but I welcome his weight.

I rub one hand up and down AJ's back in a comforting manner, while my other sneaks into his hair as I hold him to me. My fingers lightly massage his scalp on the back of AJ's head and I can hear the quiet rumble come from him. "Hmm, go up a little higher," he grumbles out as his hold on me tightens.

I obey his demand and begin to massage the crown of his head and the sounds escaping him, causes me to smile. "Just like that, baby?" I ask, keeping up with the ministrations I have going.

"God, yes. That feels really good," AJ praises and I can't help but smile big when he tells me this.

"Good, I'm glad. Y'know, it's one of the reasons a lot of the superstars like to come to me for their hair. They love it when I massage their head when I shampoo and condition their hair," I tell AJ and he lifts his head from my chest to look down at me.

"Really now?" He asks and I nod my head with a grin as I begin to stroke his beard. "And where the hell have I been? I'm comin' to you from now on and not just because your my girl. I need you to be spoilin' and pamperin' me. Not all those other lackey's," AJ tells me completely serious and I can't help but giggle at his choice of wording.

"Oh baby, don't tell me you're jealous of them," I reply as I let my other hand join in on my ministrations. AJ closes his eyes at the feeling before he reopens them and looks down at me with narrowed eyes.

"No. I'm not jealous," he retorts, "I'm just angry at myself for never comin' to you before," he gripes out and lays down on his side next to me. I follow AJ's movements and continue to massage his scalp.

"Well…I can tell you now. If you ever did come to me before today, I would have given you extra special treatment just because of who you are. Because you mean so much more to me than they do," I tell him and AJ closes his eyes and I hear the small growl that escapes him. I frown at his reaction to my response and remove my hand from his hair, instead, cupping his jaw. "What is it, baby? Was it something I said?" I ask.

When AJ opens his eyes, his stare penetrates mine and I can see regret swimming in his blue orbs. "No…it wasn't anything you said. It's just…I hate myself and it's makin' me realize how stupid I was when it came to you. How I couldn't see it even then, but thinkin' back on it now and all of our interactions…I can see now what I meant to you back then," he retorts and my frown deepens.

"AJ…you weren't meant to. And I'm glad you didn't. It would have changed things between us and besides, you were married, so nothing would have come of it anyways," I tell him and AJ shakes his head, wrapping his arm around my waist to pull me in close.

"I don't care, Rosalie. My marriage even then was on the rocks. It was taking everything to keep us together and even that wasn't working. If I'd have known…I would have come to you for comfort," he tells me and I look at him with hurt in my eyes as I push a hand to his chest, trying to create distance between us.

"So what you're saying, is you would have made me the other woman?" I question him, fighting when he tries to pull me back into him, but ultimately he wins and I let him pull me back into his arms.

"No, Rose. I would never do that to you. I'm not that kinda man," AJ says with conviction before continuing, "I would have sought out comfort in you because I know you would have never judged me. I would have had someone by my side through everything…who woulda been there for me no matter what. I loved you as a friend then, but I saw you in a different light than I did all the other girls. There was something about you that drew me in. Some about you that I wanted…but I'd never act on it. And now that you're mine without anything holdin' us back, it makes me want to love you so much harder because I know now that I had your heart even then. I was just too blind to see it.

"I love you, Rosalie Ann Bennett and there's not a damn thing in this world that I wouldn't do for you because I know you'd do the same for me. Now, please tell me I haven't pushed you away because I can see that look in your eye. Please tell me I haven't lost you," AJ whispers, searching my eyes as he reaches a hand up to caress my cheek.

Framing his own face, I lean in and press a kiss to AJ's lips. "No, you haven't lost me. I'm not going anywhere. I just wish you would have confided in me, instead of you going through this all on your own. But we're together now and that's what matters…right?" I ask as I let my fingers lightly graze against the side of his face.

"Most definitely. I'm never letting you go. Not as long as there is a breath in my body. You're mine, Rosie and I'm yours. I can promise you that," AJ tells me and presses a wet, but passion filled kiss to my lips. I whimper into it when he goes to pull away, but I bring him back in, keeping our kiss alive, only ending it when breathing becomes necessary.

AJ POV

"Take me, AJ. Make me yours again. Claim me like you've never claimed anything before. Do with me what you want…I trust you, baby," Rosie whispers to me. I let out a happy groan and press my lips to Rosie's again.

"Who are you, you perfect woman…I swear. God, I love you," I rasp out against her lips and pull back fractionally so I can look into her eyes. "Somehow I know, you've fantasized about me taking you from behind. Am I right?" I question Rosie and just as I suspected, her cheeks turn red and she breaks eye contact with me. "Come on, baby. Don't get all shy on me, now. After what we've been through in the short time we've spent together and the things we just did…not to mention our confessions of love to each other, I don't want you bein' shy with me.

"You've put up with my stubborn ass for this long and you never backed down then…don't back down on me now. Talk to me, Rosie. What do you want me to do to this gorgeous and sinful body of yours," I ask, grabbing her thigh and hoist it over my hip, pulling our lower bodies flush together.

I know she can feel my newly hardened member grazing her still very wet and sensitive pussy because the shiver running through her body is very prominent, even though she tries to hide it. "Come on, Rosie. Don't hide from me, baby…please. Tell me what you want," I whisper and begin to caress her thigh and ass cheek. I slowly trail that hand towards her wet entrance, but avoid it altogether save for a subtle graze of my fingers every few seconds.

The small gasps that escape her from my teasing I know are slowly pulling her out of her shell she put herself into moments ago. To encourage her, I dip my finger into her hole and begin to stroke her top wall with it's pad. I never once take my eyes off her face as I gauge her reaction and wait for the sign I've been wanting from her for the past couple of minutes. To give me the go ahead to take her from behind like I know she wants…like I want.

Rosie pulls me into a rough kiss and presses her body flush against mine as her body responds to my touch. "Yeah, there is my little wildcat. Tell me what you want, Rosie," I growl out as I begin to kiss my way down to her neck, lightly sucking the skin into my mouth, marking her as my own.

The gasping moans of my name spur me on and I suck her skin more harshly into my mouth, sinking my teeth into her soft flesh, making Rosie cry out. "Fuck me, please, Daddy. I want you to fuck the shit outta me," she moans loudly, but her moan turns into a crying scream when I slap her ass.

"How many times do I gotta tell you…watch that pretty little mouth of yours, darlin'. Now be a good girl for Daddy and get on your hands and knees for me and I'll give my babygirl what she wants," I order her gently, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

Rosie doesn't hesitate to obey my command and sticks that sexy ass of her's up in the air for me. She wiggles it back and forth as she looks at me from over her shoulder, taunting me with her eyes to do something about her teasing. "I'm sorry, Daddy. You just bring out this naughty side in me and I can't help it, you make me wanna misbehave," Rosie retorts with a moan as she sticks her ass even further up into the air.

"Goddamn it, Rosie. Do you want me to punish you? Is that it? Does my babygirl need to be dominated by her Daddy and get put into her place?" I ask, roughly, sidling up behind Rosie. I lean down and bite into her right ass cheek, earning me a pleasured cry mixed with a moan.

Oh…so she does like this. She does want to be dominated…

"You like that, don't you? You like it when I'm rough with you?" I ask Rosie, leaning over her lithe frame as I press wet delicate kisses to her upper back, working my way down. "And what is this?" I question when my eyes zero in on a blue cross tattoo in the middle of Rosie's lower back. It's not like you've seen her naked before tonight, Jones and she's never worn revealing clothes. So how could you have known about it?

"I got it days after I turned 18. My first one and I wanted it, just because," Rosie replies with a shoulder shrug and I press a multitude of hot wet kisses to it, pulling a shuddering breath from her. I grin against her skin, knowing I get this kind of reaction out of her. I love knowing I can make Rosie feel this way. "AJ…that feels nice," she breathes out in a whisper, so I continue to kiss my way around her back and rear end.

When I make it to her entrance and discover that Rosie is dripping wet for me all over again, I can't help but release the guttural and primal growl that was begging to escape me. "Oh Rosie, you're so wet for me, baby. Do I really do this to you?" I groan out and spread her lips wider, taking a languid lick from her clit to her leaking hole. I stick my tongue in Rosie, taking in her essence once more and growl deep in my throat at being able to get a taste of her again.

"Ffffuuu-Mmm…Daddy that feels so good," Rosie whines, pushing her ass further into my face. That little stunt earns her a smack to the butt cheek and Rosie yelps at the sudden impact.

"Behave my little Rosebud or Daddy is really going to have to punish you," I gently scold, rubbing the red spot on Rosie's ass where I just smacked her.

"I'm sorry, Daddy…I just really need you inside me. Please," she whimpers, reaching a hand back to rest it on my thigh as her eyes meet mine. "I wanna feel you again, so bad," Rosie pleads and I can see it in her eyes how desperate she is.

I lean forward, resting my chest against her back and turn Rosie's face towards mine. "Don't worry, darlin'…I've got you," I whisper before pressing a kiss to her lips. Rosie nods her head in understanding and I press one more soft kiss to her lips before disappearing from her sight.

Running my hand up and down Rosie's back, I give her ass cheeks a small squeeze before I align my dick with her dripping hole. With an agonizingly slow pace, I push my way into Rosie's heat until I'm buried to the hilt. Rosie's cry of my name as I penetrate her, stirs something deep inside me. I love that sound and it's one I want to hear on a daily basis.

"Goddamn, Rosie. I almost forgot how good you feel. So tight, baby…so tight," I groan out in appreciation. I slowly pull all the way out, leaving just the tip in before quickly thrusting back into Rosie, but this time I don't pause, I keep a fast, punishing rhythm going.

"Daddyyyy! Soooo good. Oh my god," Rosie cries out with a moan as she creates a death grip on the bed sheets.

"Yeah? You like the way Daddy fucks you and how he stretches out this tight little pussy of yours…my pussy," I growl out in between grunts and groans.

Rosie buries her face into the bedspread when I tilt my hips and my dick grazes her g-spot with every snap of my hips that collide into hers. The whoreish moans she cries out are muffled and I can't have that, so I slap both of Rosie's ass cheeks in rapid succession, causing her to lift her head and scream out. "Don't you dare mask your cries. I wanna hear you and I want everyone on this damn floor to know who you belong to…you hear me, Rose?" I ground out.

"Yesss, Daddyyyyy! Oh god, AJ!" Rosie screams when I grab onto her shoulder and begin slamming my hips into hers. The deafening sound of our skin slapping together fills the room and it mixed with Rosie's cries sends me into overdrive.

I can feel Rosie meeting my thrusts as her walls clamp down around me. "That's it my beautiful girl. Feel me. Feel all of me as I fuckin' fill you up over and over again," I grunt out and release my hold on Rosie's shoulder, returning my grip onto her hips.

"Fuck, AJ…you fuck me so good," Rosie whines as she throws her head forward, resting her head on the bed as she looks up at me from over her shoulder. I can see in her eyes she's close.

"You close, baby? I can see it on your face and I can feel you squeezing me so tight. C'mere, darlin'. I want you up here with me," I groan out and lean down to wrap an arm around Rosie's waist. "C'mon, use that strength I know you still have in you. Up on your knees, Rosie," I tell her. "That's my good girl," I praise quietly in Rosie's ear when I have her back up against my chest.

"You feel so good, Allen," Rosie whispers against my cheek as she clutches onto my forearm that's wrapped around her tiny frame, anchoring her to me. Turning my head towards hers, I capture Rosie's lips in a messy kiss as she holds my head in place.

Reaching my free hand down, I begin to play with Rosie's clit, using our combined arousal as a lubricant, providing her with just the right amount of pressure. Crying into the kiss, Rosie's body convulses against mine as I continue to play her body like a fiddle.

"Come for Rosie; I know you're close, darlin'. I can feel you squeezin' me tight," I rasp out against her lips. Rosie's eyes open to meet mine and I can see the look in them, begging for release.

"I–I need…I'm gonna. It's too much, Allen," Rosie whimpers and I begin to feel her bucking against me, needing to find that release…and fast.

"I've got you, darlin'. Just let go for me," I tell her, tightening my hold on her waist as I begin to fuck her harder and faster. My fingers create a punishing rhythm on her clit as I rub her in time with my thrusts.

"Oh my god, AJ!" Rosie squeals out at the top of her lungs and that's her only warning to let me know she's about to come because before I know it, Rosie's release hits her and hits her hard as I feel her juices drip down both our legs and all over my fingers.

The intensity of her orgasm triggers mine and I bellow out a roar of her name as I come violently into Rosie's tight channel, shooting every last drop of my seed deep into her, coating her walls. We both collapse to the bed as we try to catch our breath and I carefully pull out of Rosie before pulling her into my arms.

We lay there for a few moments and when I feel Rosie's body is no longer trembling, I press a kiss to her forehead and untangle myself from her. "I'll be right back," I whisper to her, pressing a chaste kiss to her lips and Rosie nods her head in understanding.

As I clean myself off, I can't think of the last time I had sex that intense…that powerful before. I know it's been a while, but if it's like that for me and Rosie every time…I grin to myself thinking how phenomenal our sex life is going to be…and yes pun intended.

I grab a wash cloth and soak it completely with water before wringing out the excess liquid and return to Rosie. Her eyes are closed, but the second she hears me, her beautiful brown eyes open and land on me. The smile she sends my way, stops me in my tracks. She's never looked at me like that before…like the world…her world begins and ends with me. Seeing that look on her face, I know I can't fuck this up.

"Hey handsome," Rosie greets me quietly, her voice hoarse from all the screaming, her eyes following me as I make my way back onto the bed and to her side.

"Hey beautiful. How're you feeling? I didn't hurt you, did I?" I ask quietly as I begin to clean her up, being careful when I wipe at her tender folds. She flinches a little, but I knew that was inevitable with how rough I was. "Sorry, baby," I whisper and continue to clean her up, until I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Tossing the rag to the side, I get under the covers with Rosie and pull her into my arms, even though she tucks herself into my side willingly. Resting her head on my chest, Rosie looks up at me with a big grin. "It's alright and no, you didn't hurt me. I'm throughly fucked and sated," she tells me and I can't help but laugh at her choice of wording. "But I feel good. A little sore, but I know that comes with the territory since I have myself my personal and phenomenal sexy caveman," she jokes, pressing a kiss to the underside of my jaw.

"I love this dominant side of you. Keep him in the bedroom when it comes to us and you'll have yourself a very greedy cavewoman." I look at her with a shit eating grin and I know I just literally and metaphorically hit the jackpot.

"Oh darlin'…you just keep stroking my ego more and more. Well this phenomenal caveman loves his gorgeous cavewoman and he's going to do every in his power to make her happy," I reply, turning onto my side so I'm face to face with Rosie, but not before pulling her up flush against me.

She reaches a hand and strokes my thick beard before pressing a soft, but loving kiss to my lips. "You do make me happy, Allen…so much and I love you more than words can describe," Rosie whispers back before a yawn escapes her as her eyes grow heavy.

"Go to sleep, baby. I'll be here when you wake up," I said, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before tucking her head under my chin.

I feel Rosie subtly nod her head as she settles into my arms. She presses her hand flat over my beating heart as she nuzzles my chest and right before sleep takes her, I whisper that I love her one last time.
