You and Simon had been married for 4 years, he was finally back from a long deployment. Sitting on the sofa with a beer as he could hear the babbling baby playing on her mat on the floor.

You were babysitting your niece so your sister could have a break, you and Simon had never discussed kids. But as he watched the baby in her little onesie he couldn’t help but wonder.

“Kids kind of bloody sweet.” he mumbled under his breath.
