The crib I had purchased, after spending hours researching safety features and studying recall notices of cribs, stood against the wall instead of in the box as it had for the past two months. I should have put it together as soon as it had arrived, but my baby bump had been so big by the time it arrived I had little energy to figure out how to put it together. The instructions had made no sense, and I admitted to feeling a little defeated each time I walked into the nursery to see the large box standing as a sentinel to my incompetence as a parent.

My plan had been to hire someone before the baby came to rescue me from the million parts that made up the crib. A plan I never followed up with because I thought I still had time. What is it they say about the best-laid plans? Well, that one wasn’t even close to a good plan. Procrastination had obliterated it, making me think I had already failed as a parent.

Thinking I had everything under control when I first started this journey to have a baby was completely different to actually doing it on my own. The reality of it was crushing me in a way I hadn’t expected and the only thing I wanted was to have someone wrap their arms around me and tell me everything was going to be okay. When Ryan did just that, I turned, dropping my head into the crook of his neck, and breathed in the scent of him. His alpha pheromones washed over me and calmed me in a way nothing else ever could. In his arms, I found a strength I didn’t have on my own. I didn’t know if that made me a bad parent or a failure, but I knew I no longer wanted to walk this path of being a single parent anymore. I needed my alpha, and I wanted him to stay with me.

“Can you stay? Move in with me and Esme?” My arms tightened convulsively around his waist, as if I might lose him if I let go. “I know this relationship is new and I have no idea what I’m doing or what fated mates or soul mates really means. I only know I want so much for you to be here with me.”

“Staying would make me so very happy. You have no idea how happy it would make me.” I felt Ryan’s lips as he kissed the top of my head. “I’m not completely sure I know what all this means either but we’ll figure it out. Together.”

I turned and surveyed the nursery and noticed the other touches Ryan had added to the room. The crib’s mattress was dressed in sheets with cute little lambs and rainbows. The lamp I had purchased still sat on the dresser near the crib, but where there had been an empty space, a new changing table to match the crib now sat next to the dresser.
