* * *

When Kemi woke the next morning, Luke was beside her, the hard planes of his body curved around her protectively. His dark eyes were half-open. When she blinked and half sat up, he offered her a smile that was more uncertain than anything she’d ever seen on his face before.

“Good morning,” he said gently, and she felt a flutter deep in her stomach that at first she attributed to her very handsome husband, but then it was there again, as if a coven of butterflies had chosen to make her abdomen home. She froze; Luke caught the look on her face and frowned. “What?”

“I think the baby moved,” she gasped.

“What? Really?” His hand immediately moved to cover the lower part of her abdomen. Of course he couldn’t feel anything—he wouldn’t be able to for months. “That’s impossible. It’s too early.”

“Perhaps.” She laughed. Maybe it was the baby. Maybe it was just the butterflies of a mother overcome by joy, but she didn’t care, for Luke’s hand was under her gown, fingers splaying over the bare skin of her belly.

“Hey, little one,” he whispered, and Kemi actually felt her heart swell. She dropped her own fingers to cover Luke’s, right over where their son turned comfortably in his warm space. She saw Luke’s eyes flutter shut; when he murmured something under his breath, she asked what it was.

“Prayer for health and safety,” Luke said, and he reached up, pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

“I didn’t know you were religious.”

“I’m not,” Luke said dryly, “but I’m not taking any risks this time around.”
