ARTHUR

I stood to the side and watched Perry as he tucked Jupiter into bed. He knelt at her bedside, the warm light of the side table lamp glowing off his face. He pulled the covers up to her chin and kissed her on the cheek.

"Goodnight, sweetie," he said.

"Goodnight, Daddy." She turned and smiled at me. "Goodnight, Arthur."

I crouched next to her. "Goodnight, Jupiter." She reached out and hugged me around my neck, and then kissed me on the cheek. I was stunned for a second; it was the first time she'd ever done anything like that.

"I love you," she said.

I smiled, and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "I love you too, Jupiter," I said, and Perry rubbed my back. I couldn't help but be moved by Jupiter's tenderness.

"Isn't there something else you wanted to say, sweetie?" Perry asked her.

Jupiter pulled the covers up to her forehead and shook her head.

"Are you sure? I thought you told me there was."

"It's too scary!" she said from underneath the covers, and I laughed.

"What! Too scary?"

"Would you like me to tell Arthur for you?" Perry asked, and she shook her head again. "Well, come on. You should tell him, then. It'll make him happy."

Slowly, she lowered the covers back down to her chin and looked at me with shy eyes. "I hope you win the race," she said hesitantly, and then with decided commitment added, "I want you to be my Papa!"

My jaw dropped, and I scooped her up into a tight hug. "Thank you, Jupiter. It means a lot to hear you say that. No matter what happens, know that I'll be here for you. And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that you, your daddy, and I will be together. Okay?"

"Okay," she said, and settled into her pillow. She looked content, and I pulled the covers back up to her chin.

"Get some sleep," I said, and we turned the light off and left her room.

Perry wrapped his arms around me, hugging me from the back. He nuzzled and kissed my neck, and I placed my hand on top of where his forearms crossed my chest. It felt so comforting to feel the movement of his breathing against my back, and the warmth and weight of his body on mine.

I'll never get tired of this feeling, I promised myself. What could be better than feeling his affection for me like that? Feeling the tight squeeze of his arms around me, holding me so close, pulling me in as tight as possible, like he was afraid to let me get away. It was intoxicating. It was everything. How could I live without this? I'd sacrifice everything to always have this.

He kissed my hair and rested his chin into the nape of my neck. His stubble tickled me, and I laughed.

"That was sweet," he said. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of the vibrato of his voice being absorbed into my back.

"It really was," I agreed.

"She really loves you a lot.
