The Contingency Plan

Hold me here

There's a thunderstorm brewing and Hugo is lying on the couch between me and his Dad. He's covered with a light, crisp, white blanket and makes eyes that sit from Lucas to me and back again. He smiles. Lucas rubs his belly and everytime he does Hugo quickly kicks his legs and waves his arms. His breath becomes fast and he coos with a voice so beautifully fresh, pure and joyful.

We can now hear the outside pitter patter and this moment feels like perfection. My insides implode.

Lucas slowly rises in search of water and Hugo's eyes follow him, wait and look for him until he returns. They already share such a strong bond.
