EPILOGUE
*3 YEARS LATER*
“Happiness”
Aaron
The first rays of sun were passing though the curtains. I moved, wanting to see my wife sleeping, but found the bed empty.
I smiled to myself.
And she was scared of not being good at this.
I chuckled.
Like Maya could be anything but the best at what he did.
I sighed.
I’m a lucky guy.
I rose from our bed and went directly to what used to be our empty room.
We always danced around about what to do with this room, I knew what I wanted to do with it, but my wife was on the fence. Until a year and a half.
I entered my favorite room of the house, trying to make the least amount of sound possible.
My wife was singing a lullaby.
Our little girl in her hands. She was looking at our baby with so much love that I fell in love even more with her.
“I know,”
she said low. “Your dad’s arms are more comfortable. I agree with you, but he needs to sleep too, and I absolutely love having you in my arms. Can you do it for Mom?”
My two girls.
My whole world.
I walked backwards, wanting to give them some time alone, after making sure they were fine.
My wife raised her head. Smiled at me.
“She just ate,”
she whispered.
I got closer, and kissed my wife.
“Did you rest?”
I asked. She nodded.
I kissed our girl on her head.
She made a happy noise, and my wife and I couldn’t content our laughter.
This sleepless nights were making us a bit delusional.
I wouldn’t change it for anything.
