She was just behind that door sleeping and Aidan wanted to go right in there and lay beside her. That door was the least of his problems; the barrier she had put up between them was like a solid brick wall. Though sometimes it seemed like there were cracks in her defenses—like today—when he could literally see her giving in. Aidan knew by the time she came back out from her nap that wall would be sealed up tight again. This time he wasn’t going to give her a chance to deny him. Aidan planned to keep her off guard. It was time to step up his game.

“Your mommy is a hard nut to crack,” Aidan murmured and kissed the top of Marcus’s head as he walked over to get his bottle from the warmer. “Were you a good boy today?”

He sat down on the sofa and turned the TV on. He found a baseball game and put the volume down low so that it wouldn’t disturb Cherish. He’d been in town all day and when she woke up he would share his news with her. Aidan put the bottle in the baby’s mouth and looked down at his son. As usual, his heart felt full and ready to burst with love for his child. He never knew a person could love someone so much. How could people throw their children away and leave it to the state to raise them? He would never understand that. He could see himself in his son; his chin and mouth. Aidan could swear his eyes were turning a light green, but Cherish had pointed out that his true eye color wouldn’t be known for a few months. He didn’t care. He saw green eyes. The paternity test wasn’t in yet, but that didn’t bother him. The answer could be lost forever for all he cared. Every beat of his heart told him that this was his son. Anger surged through him when he thought about how much he had missed because of Jose. He hadn’t seen him around base since they came back and he liked it just fine that way. He still owed the fucker a punch in the face for what he did.

Marcus finished the two ounces of mint tea and he whimpered. Aidan lifted him to his shoulder and patted his back until he gave a loud burp. He grinned. “That’s my boy.” He toed off his sneakers and took one of the oversized pillows and moved it to the arm of the sofa before lying back. He settled the baby on his chest and watched the TV. Before he knew it, he felt a tapping on his shoulder. He opened his eyes sleepily and Cherish was smiling down at him.

“You fell asleep,” she said.

He felt for the baby and sat up quickly. “Where’s Marc?”

“Don’t worry. I took him and fed him a bottle. He is dozing in his crib, though I don’t know how long it will last,” Cherish replied.
