“Sore but good,” she says, shifting in the bed.“You really are the master at diaper changes, you know.”

I shrug while swaddling her in her soft purple blanket that Halo picked out.Apparently, I was destined to be a father to mostly girls.Kason and I are completely outnumbered in our house.

“I didn’t push out a baby so I’d like to think this is my contribution.”

“Well, I think it makes you even sexier for it.”

“Careful, or I’ll impregnate you again before we leave the hospital,” I tease, but I wish I could.

I know we have a houseful of healthy, wonderful kids at home but there is something about Saylor being pregnant that sets me on fire.She is the most beautiful, glowing woman I’ve ever witnessed, and she’s the best mother a child could hope for.

“Can we revisit this after Mallory is out of diapers?”she suggests, and hope blooms in my chest at having another set of little feet toddle down our hallways.

“You can have anything you want, baby.”

I place Mallory on the half circle pillow under Saylor’s breast and she latches on without any problem.It seems all our children take to the tit like their dad.

“I don’t want anything but our children and you,” she says, looking up from the baby.Sometimes I think this is all a dream, and that I’ll wake up one day and be alone in my large office.But each day I’m reminded that tomorrow is never promised and that we need to live each one to the fullest.

Cupping her face, I lightly kiss her lips as the smacking from our daughter reminds me that we aren’t alone.

“Love you, baby,” I whisper against her lips.

“Love you more.”

“Impossible.”
