I sighed against his chest and nuzzled closer into his embrace. He was so warm and just felt and smelt just how home should feel. God i was so thankful for this man in my life, maybe he was my karma. For all those terrible years in high school, this was the compensation.

Just 3 years ago i would have run if i saw him anywhere, even in school and now here i was, so in love with this man who gave me the love from romance books, he used to tease me about reading.

"God I could stay like this forever" he smiled and kissed the top of my head which made me giggle in return. We were still young; I had just turned 21 but i already knew this was it for me. This was how I wanted to spend the future and this was with whom.

I had never felt like this with Lucas. Yes, I had thought I was in love which in retrospective was silly but God i never felt anything even slightly comparable with him that i did with Travis.

He might have been my first but Travis would be my last, even if we didn't end up together i didn't want anyone after him. I'd stay single if i had to but no one would ever live up to him and i didn't plan to let anyone tarnish his memory.

I looked up at him and immediately caught his eye which made me giggle like crazy. Remembering how feral he went the last time i brought it up i took one of his big strong hands and moved it to lay on my still flat stomach, just beneath my belly button.

I leant in and whispered into his ear, knowing no one could hear us either way but wanting to make the moment more intimate. "You know there could already be a mini-Travis in there"

I saw as he bit his lip and looked up to meet my eyes and suddenly there was lust incorporated into the endless barrels of adoration.

"Maybe we should make that could into an is" he smirked and pulled me into his lap, kissing me deeply and with so much want and need it made my head spin and limps turn into Jell-O.

God his kisses were something else. Nothing like anything I had ever experienced. And i was an addict to them, a moth to his flame, a sinner to his prays. And I needed more.

I snuck my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, entangled my tongue with his while one of his hands wound around my waist, the other moving up to cup by breast.

We got lost in each other's top and ended up making love, ending the day on an emotional not as it had started. What a birthday.

-----

I woke up early in the morning of the 23rd, an immediate smile on my lips. My baby was turning 1 today. God how time flew, it was incredible. I checked my phone quickly but had no messages from Travis, which was kind of strange for him but i brushed it off. It was still so early after all, he was probably still asleep.

I slid out of bed and went over to my daughter's little bed. It was by my side and I knew she should sleep in her own room but i didn't really have the time or means to make her a nursery so this was the best solution.

Abby was still asleep peacefully, her little curls cascading like a halo around her head. She was suckling on her sucker and her eyes moved beneath her eyelids. I couldn't help but hum to myself as i reached into the cradle, softly stroking a finger over her soft chubby cheeks.

She looked like a little angel like this. God I could recall what i had seen just over a week ago like it was burned into the inside of my eyelids. The image of Travis cradling her and holding her closely, able to calm her down.

Usually, she was a bit shy and fuzzy when strangers were around especially when she was held by them but she had trusted him immediately, had put herself into his arms faithfully and even slept on top of him.

I could really see him as her dad at this point, like a real parental figure, something Lucas could never be.

He had tried to call me twice since the call we had had but i never answered. He could go to hell for all I cared. He didn't deserve my Babygirl. No one did. The only one close to deserving her were mom, me and now Travy too.

Her little eyelids started to slowly open and her blue met mine. My eyes. Her eyes. "Good morning baby" I whisper smiled and reached in to scoop her up in my arms. She rubbed her little eyes adorably and blinked a little trying to imitate me. "monin"

I grinned widely barely able to contain my excitement "Happy birthday!" Abby looked up at me with a little frown, not quite sure what a birthday was but just from my tone and the look on my face she must have been able to tell it was something good since she started to grin ear to ear and clapped her little hands together in front of her and well my face.

I grinned widely and smothered her little cheek in kisses which made her giggle softly. "you're turning one year old today, Babygirl, Mommy had you in her belly 1 year ago and then she got a tummy ache" I proceeded to explain and immediately Abby reached out to my belly with wide eyes.

God she was just the best baby anyone could wish for. I smiled softly and nodded. "Yes, Baby but then the tummy ache stopped and the nurse in the hospital brought me you because you came out of me."

Her eyes were wide as I explained and God she just looked too cute. "And now you're one year old! And we will have the best day ever! Nana is gonna come" she grinned widely repeating "Nana!"

I nodded giggling "and mommy's gonna be there" again she squeaked and clapped and imitated my voice "Mommy!" i kissed her cheek gently nodding and bit my lip slightly nervous as i continued, hoping for a good reaction.

"And mommy's special friend will be there, Travis" Abby took a moment before her little eyes lit up with joy and she clapped, maybe even harder than before. "Twaviis!"

A relieved smile washed over my lips and I nodded grinning widely "yes baby exactly! So how about we get ready for when they arrive?"

She nodded grinning widely clapping her little hands together so I grinned and walked over to my closet with her. It had taken over to hers by now. Only one row was for me while the rest was baby stuff, diapers, bottles, whips, all my little girl could need. I walked over to the changing table and started to changed her grinning at her little air kicks she did.

I helped her into her new diaper and blew a raspberry onto her tummy before picking her back up and going to the little pieces of clothes she owned. "Which one would you like pretty girl?"

This was our routine if anything fancy or important was occurring. She like to pick her own outfits and i did my best to pair them with something that matched. She pointed to a blue dress and i smiled softly.

I had bought it while still pregnant, spent the money i had left for the month for it. It was very cute, light blue and lacy with a little bow in the back. I took it off the rack and laid her back down, helping her to put the dress over her little head.

She grinned and played with the expensive rich fabric, pulling at it lightly to feel it. I put some white warm tights on her and a tiny white cardigan and afterwards helped her untangle her little curls before adding little snowflake hairpins of mine she had chosen, in awe of the sparkling little rhinestones.

I got myself ready too, choosing a little black skirt over some illusion see through tights and a light blue cropped cardigan, matching the shade of her little dress. While i did my makeup I let her play with her teddies for a while, before i head my phone buzz twice. Travis.

Excitedly I grabbed it and unplucked it from the charger before opening the message that had popped up on my screen.

"I'm so sorry Babygirl. I completely forgot it was Abbys Birthday and now I have a training set for today. Hope you can understand and the three of you have a great day, I'll see you tomorrow.

Love, Travis"

My heart sunk. He forgot.
