When you told Deuce that the two of you were going to have a baby, he was so excited. Quickly after, though, his nerves rose to the surface. A baby is a whole lot of responsibility. He was already determined to become the best person he could be, to make up for his past delinquency, but now, with a little one on the way, one that might take after him? He had to be his best. He was still a nervous wreck while preparing everything for the baby's arrival, yes, but his determination was steeled.

His job as a magical officer was a dangerous one, and from the moment your child was born, he made a promise to himself that he'd always cherish and protect you. You thought it was absolutely adorable how he wanted to get everything right. And now, as your baby was a few weeks old? You'd gotten used to the trials of the new parenting routine. It was an adjustment, especially for Deuce, but he was doing his best.

He laid in your shared bed, with the baby at his side, happily tickling the little one and watching it giggle. "Yeah? Is that funny, little cutie?" He laughed with his child.

And as Deuce's eyes met yours as you watched him, his heart felt full. You'd seen him through all his troubles, and now he had you by his side in a whole new adventure.
