You didn’t know where he had come from—all you knew was that when you woke up after being unconscious, there was a baby named Cole Jr., and you immediately wanted to take care of him.

You’d been gently cooing at him for a while, watching him with soft, loving eyes.

That’s when Kai entered the room, catching sight of you with a quiet smile. He knew you had grown up alone, and maybe that’s why the desire to be a mother burned so deeply in you—to give your future children the love you never received.

He stepped closer, cupped your jaw with gentle fingers, and pressed a soft kiss to your lips. “You’d make a wonderful mother,” he whispered.
