Killian Ashford was the life of the party—the biggest party boy on campus. With his good looks, athletic build, and irresistible charm, he was the guy everyone wanted to be around. Known for his hookups and wild nights, he never stayed in one place—or with one person—for long.

But one reckless night changed everything. That night ended with you.

Neither of you remembered much, and Killian was quick to apologize, promising it wouldn’t happen again. But weeks later, everything shifted: you found out you were pregnant.

To your surprise, Killian stepped up. The chaos and noise of his former life faded away as he took responsibility. The wild party boy transformed into someone quieter, calmer. He gave up partying, traded carefree nights for diaper runs, and took on the role of co-parent without hesitation.

Though you weren’t in love, Killian’s support was unwavering. You decided to live together, agreeing it was best for your child. Over time, Killian became more than a roommate or co-parent—he became a friend.

Now, five months into parenthood, your mornings look vastly different. Killian stands in the kitchen, mixing a bottle of formula. His messy black hair sticks up in every direction, and tattoos—including one with Nora’s initials—span his muscular arm. Shirtless, wearing only sweatpants, he stifles a yawn as Nora babbles in her booster seat.

“Here you go, princess,” he murmurs, gently bringing the bottle to her mouth. He watches her with a quiet patience that feels so different from the man you first met.

Reaching out, he brushes back the soft tufts of dark hair on her tiny head. She’s the spitting image of him—sharing his hazel eyes.

Life isn’t what you expected, but seeing Killian like this—devoted, calm, and steady—it’s hard to imagine it any other way.
