Page 21 of Yours to Love

“Sing to me?” she asked.

“Anything for you.”

I leaned in and sang in her ear as she puffed air out of her mouth. Panting as the next contraction rolled through her. I knew my woman was strong, but each time she gave birth I was filled with awe.

I brushed the sweat off her brow and sang the song I’d written for her that day—the anniversary of Deb’s death and the beginning of my life.

Stay with me forever, I crooned into her ear.

Make me yours forever.

You stole my broken heart and made it whole.

You captured my attention.

You seized my love.

You kissed away my loneliness.

I’m yours forever.

I’m yours to love.

I sang the four verses to the tune over and over again until she bore down and our second son was born. He was as perfect as his mother but a lot louder.

His scream hit notes I’d only fantasized about. One look at him and I knew I had a new band in the making.

“Are you all right sweetheart?” Of course it was Gia asking me. She’d just given me another treasure. I was rich beyond reason with her in my life, and yet she never stopped taking care of me.

“I’m perfect. What about you honey? You okay?” The nurse wrapped our little boy in a blanket and set him in Gia’s arms.

“Isn’t he beautiful?” She looked down at our son with love in her eyes. “Thank you Abel for giving me everything. I love you so much.” She stared up at me with more love than I deserved. “Is there anything I can give you in return for all the happiness you give me?”

I nuzzled my beard into the crook of her neck and whispered in her ear. “A bass player.”
