I'd Rather Not Miss Out On Us

I wake up to crying. And it sounds like Miles. I quickly sit up, but notice there wasn’t another human body to move off my chest. I look to my side, and Jess isn’t there. I slide out bed, check the time, 3 in the morning. Mile’s doesn’t do this anymore. I hope he’s not getting sick. Maybe he’s not used to the environment. I walk towards Mile’s room, but I start to hear singing. That beautiful voice that I instantly fell in love with. Jess is singing? I walk closer to his room, and poke my head through the doorway.
The sight I see is beyond perfect.
Jess is standing in front of Mile’s bed with her back turned to me. She’s singing Instant Karma by John Lennon softly, holding miles in her arms, with his sleepy head rested on his shoulders. I think he’s still awake, but won’t be for long. She keeps singing and I just watch her. I haven’t as happy as I am in this moment in so long. It’s beautiful. Once the songs over, she gently leans Mile’s head off her shoulder to make sure he’s asleep. She leans down and kisses his forehead and lays him back down. She stares down at him for a second with a smile on her face before turning around.
She jumps when she sees me, a hand going over her mouth to hide her almost scream. She walks towards me and quickly closes Mile’s doors, leaving it crack.
“You scared the shit out of me.” She whipers.
I just smile at her a moment, her face softens, and then words fall out of my mouth. “I love you.”
Her mouth curls up into a huge grin and she leans to gently kiss me. When she pulls away she melts all my fears away. “I love you.”
I grin back and kiss her again, this one lasting longer. We eventually split apart and go back into the bedroom.
Jess goes to sit on the bed, while saying “I didn’t wanna wake you. You looked at peace.”
“I’m glad you did, though.” I say. Hoping she sees that I didn’t mean that in any bad way.
She smiles at me, silently telling me she understood. I lay back on the bed, and Jess curls up to my side. He leg draped over my thighs, her head rested on shoulder, one hand on my abdomen, the other hand in my hair. We lay like that, in complete silence. Her running her fingers along my belly, and my hand going up and down her back softly. And in this moment, I realize the only people I will ever love more than Jess are my kids.
We stay in complete bliss until we eventually fall asleep, smiles on both our faces.
