“You sure you’re ready for this?” she asked softly, and I put my hand back on her belly.
“I’ve been ready for this with you since the moment I saw you in that cafe, baby.” And I meant that with every fiber of my being. “There isn’t anything in this world that I’m not ready for as long as you’re by my side.”
She wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head on my chest. And then I just held her. I’d keep holding her for the rest of my fucking life, because with Nadja by my side, I could conquer the fucking world.
The End
