A glimpse into the past

I loved this man more than I could possibly begin to comprehend.

I loved every twisted, dark, broken part of him, that he tried so desperately to hide from me.

The more I learned about him, the more I came to realize just how misunderstood he was. In light of the current situation, he had decided to take me to the nursery in an attempt to ease into what was to happen next.

"All in due time" he had told me, over and over again, to my great annoyance.

Finally, it was time and I was nowhere near prepared for what he was about to reveal to me.

I had seen the strange changes in his body when the blood rush got its hold of him, even seen something similar happen to me after learning I had become pregnant with his child.

Something neither of us had planned or were prepared for.

We were sitting on the soft mattress of the grand bed in the nursery, partially hidden by the flowy fabric that hung from the top of it.
