Angel of Darkness (STOPPED TEMPORARILY)

Kai

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. As I stirred awake, I became aware of Angelina's weight resting on top of me. A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I realized she had shifted during the night to be closer to me. Her head was nestled against my chest, and the soft scent of her hair filled my senses.

"Are you smelling my hair?" her playful voice broke the quiet of the room.

Caught in the act, I couldn't help but chuckle. "No?"

Her laughter rang out, a melodic sound that never failed to light up my world. "Yes, you are!"

I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her closer to me. "Okay, fine, guilty as charged. But can you blame me? Your hair smells amazing."

She tilted her head back to look at me, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "You're hopeless, you know that?"

I grinned, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Only when it comes to you."

Her fingers traced lazy circles on my chest, and I relished in the intimacy of the moment. These quiet mornings with Angelina were like treasures, moments of connection that felt like stolen time in the midst of our busy lives.

"You know," she mused, her voice taking on a thoughtful tone, "I never thought I'd be in a place like this. Waking up beside someone who makes me feel... safe."

I tightened my hold on her, wanting her to feel every bit of my sincerity. "You are safe with me, Angelina. Always."

Her gaze held mine, vulnerability mingling with affection. "I believe you, Kai. It's just... new, you know? Trusting someone like this."

I brushed a strand of hair away from her face, my touch gentle. "I understand, Angel. And I'll never take that trust for granted."

With every interaction, every smile, every shared moment, I was reminded of how far we had come. The journey hadn't been easy, but the rewards were immeasurable - a love that had grown from the ashes of past pain, a family we were building together.

She sighed contentedly, resting her head against my chest again. "You make it easy to believe in love, even when I thought I had given up on it."

I held her tighter, wanting to convey just how much she meant to me. "We found each other, Angel. And I'm not letting go."

As the morning sun continued to rise, I realized that the simple act of waking up beside her was a gift beyond measure. In her presence, I had found a love that was worth every trial, every challenge. And I was determined to cherish and protect it with everything I had.

As Angelina and I lay entwined in each other's embrace, basking in the warmth of the morning sun, we were suddenly interrupted by the sweetest sound of all - Amora's gurgles and coos. I reluctantly disentangled myself from Angelina's arms and stood up, making my way to the crib where our little bundle of joy was stirring.

Amora's big, curious eyes blinked up at me as I leaned over the crib. She kicked her chubby legs excitedly, her small hands reaching out towards me. "Hey there, little one," I cooed softly, my heart swelling at the sight of her.

I gently picked her up, cradling her in my arms. She nestled against my chest, a contented sigh escaping her tiny lips. "Did you miss your daddy?" I whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her soft forehead.

Turning back to the bed, I saw Angelina propped up on her elbows, a soft smile playing on her lips as she watched the interaction between father and daughter. "She's such a daddy's girl," she remarked with a mixture of amusement and affection.

I couldn't help but grin proudly as I walked back to the bed, carefully settling Amora between us. She squirmed and wiggled, her little fingers grasping at the fabric of my shirt. "Looks like someone wants to play," I observed, my voice filled with adoration.

Angelina reached out, running her fingertip over Amora's cheek. "Hi there, little sweetheart," she greeted softly, her eyes shining with maternal love.

Amora's eyes darted between the two of us, her gaze filled with wonder. It was moments like these that made all the challenges and sleepless nights worth it. We were a family, bound by an unbreakable bond that was stronger than anything life could throw at us.

As the three of us lay together, I couldn't help but marvel at the life we had created - the love, the laughter, and the shared moments that made every day an adventure. With Amora nestled between us, I knew that no matter what lay ahead, we were ready to face it together.
