“Do you want another baby?”
I think about it.
Cody is the best thing to ever happen to me outside of Willow.
“Yeah,” I answer her, then grin, “fuck yeah.”
“So soon?”
“I missed Cody bein’ born, Willow. I won’t miss it again. I want kids, heaps of them.”
“Jagger?”
“Yeah baby?”
“I love you.”
I grin at her and kiss her soft, full lips. “Love you, more.”
“I can’t believe we’re finally a family.”
I cup her cheek and look her dead in the eyes. “Best fuckin’ thing that’s ever happened to me. I wouldn’t change a damn thing. You changed my life, Willow, and you changed me. You’re my moment, you make me who I am. Having this with you is just an added bonus.”
“But...”
“What?” I urge.
“We have had such a hard time. We fight a lot and, we’re just so broken sometimes.”
“You’re right, we are,” I answer her, “but I’m goin’ to spend the rest of my days slowly piecing us together until we’re as perfect as we can be. It’s our time now, Willow. It’s our chance.”
She beams at me, and her cheeks swell with color. Fuck she’s beautiful. She takes a shaky breath and reaches for the rest, turning it over. She looks up at me, with those beautiful green eyes that are smiling and those full pink lips that are parted with joy and says, “We’re having a baby.”
I grin and grip her face, pulling her in and pressing my lips against hers. Finally, everything is perfect, and I have only one thing to say about that.
“That’s one piece back together, we’re on our way, baby.”
Indeed, we are.
Here’s to freedom.
THE END
