An arrow pointing…

“A girl,” Hazel whispered. “We’re having a little girl, Atlas.”

I grabbed the ultrasound picture from her hands and stared.

It’s a girl! Congrats!

I leaned forward.

I forgot how to blink.

“A girl,” I finally said.

“A girl. Looks like Rome was wrong, huh?”

“I’m going to be a father to a little girl. I’m going to be agirl dad.”

“Yes, you are, Atlas.”

I sat up straight and looked at Hazel.

I dropped the ultrasound picture and moved for Hazel.

I kissed her.

Soft, slow, gentle.

My hands touched her body the same.

My right hand rested on her stomach for a few seconds, just taking in the news.

Then I moved my hand up over her breast.

My left hand touched her back and I pulled Hazel closer to me.

The kiss grew hotter.

Deeper.

My heart slammed inside my chest.

I took her shirt off.

She took off mine.

We moved slow and calculated.

Taking each second to enjoy one another.

I carefully unclasped her bra and took it off her body.

My right fingertips grazed her tender nipple.

Hazel groaned into my mouth.

I broke the kiss and dipped my mouth down to her left breast.

Hazel grabbed the back of my head and pulled me closer to her.
