Ryder - Caveman Insticts Book Three(67)

We were growing, not just in family but in our relationship. Don’t get me wrong, we still fought, but damn, I loved her fire. She never gave up.

My son Quinten gave a little cry and I rocked him, trying to get him back to sleep rather than wake his mum. Divinity had only gone to sleep two hours ago. I was hoping my son could last at least another hour, but I didn’t think he would. My son was greedy and loved his milk. The doctor at his checkup the day before even commented on how well he’d kept his weight.

His cry turned into a wail and I knew I had to quiet him before Divinity’s Mummy sense alerted her and she awoke. Taking him downstairs, I went to the play room and went through everything, but feeding him. Sitting on the sofa, I stared down at my son and started singing in off key. “My baby, baby, baby boy, please stay quieter for just a little longer. My baby, baby, baby boy let Mummy have a little longer sleep. My baby, baby, baby boy, Mummy and Daddy love you, but we need sleep. My baby, baby, baby boy.” I sang over and over and for a while Quinten stayed quiet. My voice dried out and I was sure with everything I’d done and the singing, more than hour had gone by.

I slowly eased up, cradling my son and as I looked up I saw my beautiful wife staring at me with adoration and love shining through. “Thank you.”

Shrugging, I shook my head. “You have nothing to thank me for. He’s my son too. You can’t do everything. We’re a team.” My son stopped crying at the sound of his mum.

Divinity came to me and wrapped her arms around me. “That right there is one of the many reasons why I love you.”

Going back to the sofa, we sat and I snuggled Divinity against me and helped her settle Quinten. I stared down in wonder as my son drank. At that moment, I held my whole world in my embrace. I closed my eyes, content. I was forever grateful to fate for giving me the perfect mate in Divinity. She was strong, loving, forgiving and a wonderful mother.
