  "Yeah, but this one is different. It feels...right. it feels like home."

  Shane kissed her hand and opened the car door. "Let's see if the inside is as perfect as the outside."

  Kaine opened her door and started to get out until Shane rushed to her side and practically lifted her out of the car. "I can walk, you know," she said. "I'm pregnant, not paralyzed."

  He shook his head firmly. "Not taking any chances. Any time I can carry you, I will."

  Kaine rolled her eyes, pretending to be annoyed. Honestly, she loved how Shane treated her and their unborn baby like precious china. "You can carry me over the threshold then. Cause I'm pretty sure we're going to buy this house."

  He gently picked her up and carried her to the door. Kaine snuggled against him, loving his strong arms around her. After high school, her and Shane had both gone to Ohio State University, living at home. The living arrangement was perfect for them. Not too many people wanted to live at home while going to college, but then again not too many people got to live in the same house as the love of their life. Shane proposed to Kaine in front of all of their friends on their graduation day. They were married 6 months later, and Kaine was pregnant 3 months after that.

  Shane had followed in their parents’ footsteps and was working his way to being a lawyer. Kaine had chosen a different direction and had gotten her degree in elementary education. Shane thought it was perfect for her because she was so sweet and loving.

  They never saw Camden again after the police took him away. Kaine found out that the doorknob she had him install came with two keys. Camden had taken one without her knowing and snuck in her room on the wedding day, when nobody would have known that he wasn't a guest there. Kaine hadn't pressed charges on the condition that he get help and never contact her again. He had moved away shortly after.

  "I have to put you down to ring the doorbell," Shane said, interrupting her thoughts. He gently set her down and pressed the button. The second her feet touched the ground she gasped. "Shane!"

  He snapped his head to her. "What is it? Are you ok?"

  She shook her head, clutching her stomach. "It's coming. Holy shit, it's coming."

  "Oh fuck. Ok. Come on," Shane said, scooping her up as the door opened. "We'll come back another time," Shane called over his shoulder. "My wife is in labor!"

  Shane gently put Kaine down in the passenger seat and flew across the car to the drivers seat, hastily starting the engine and peeling away.

  "Careful," Kaine gasped. "If you crash and I have to have our baby in the car I'll kill you."

  "Got it," Shane said, slowing down. "Call our parents. Have them meet us there."

  Kaine called her dad and waited until he picked up. "Hi, pumpkin," he said. "How's the house hunting going?"

  "Daddy," she gasped. "The baby is coming."

  "Shit. Now? Wow. Ok. I'll grab Nancy and meet you at the hospital. You ok?"

  "No," she said, bursting into tears. "I'm scared." Shane grabbed her hand and squeezed. "Just hurry," she sobbed, hanging up. She turned to Shane. "I'm not ready. We're not ready. What if we're horrible parents? What if something's wrong with the baby?"

  "Shh," he said softly, rubbing her hand. The baby's fine. We're gonna be awesome parents. You're going to be the best mom ever."

  Kaine gasped for breath and nodded, clutching her stomach. Shane pulled into the hospital and picked Kaine up out of the car. He stormed up to the hospital and kicked the door open.

  "Hey!" Every head snapped to attention. "My wife is in labor."

  He put Kaine down and kissed her head. Kaine almost laughed at the horrified expression on the faces of everyone in the waiting room. Her 6'3, 220 pounds of muscle husband yelling must have been a scary sight. She forced a reassuring smile at the receptionist. "I'm Kaine Ellery. I called ahead." The receptionist snapped to attention and pulled out a wheelchair. Kaine sat down gratefully and let herself be wheeled to the room.

  8 hours later, Kaine and Shane welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy into the world.

  “He’s perfect," Shane breathed over her shoulder. “He looks just like you."

  Kaine smiled down at her little bundle. He had her eyes but Shane’s chin. Tom and Nancy walked into the room, followed by a nervous Logan. Nancy and Tom eagerly took turns holding the baby, and Logan held him for a minute before deciding the baby was too small and breakable. Nancy rolled her eyes and gently gave the baby back to Kaine. “Did you decide on a name yet?"

  Kaine grinned up at Shane. “He wanted Blaine. You know, to go with the theme of our rhyming names. I said no. But I think we’re settling on Adam Blaine Ellery. It suits him just perfectly."

  Shane watched his beautiful wife holding his beautiful baby boy. He still couldn’t believe how lucky he was. In Kaine, he had found everything he had ever wanted.

  “Shane?" Kaine asked gently. “What’s wrong?"

  Shane realized he had tears in his eyes. Embarrassed, he wiped them away and laughed. “I just can’t believe how lucky I am, that’s all. I love you, Kainie."

  She smiled softly. “I love you too, Shane. So much."

  Shane bent down and kissed his wife. He couldn’t wait to start the next chapter of their life together.

  Camden read the newspaper article for the 10th time.

  Mr. and Mrs. Shane Ellery welcome son, Adam Blaine.

  “FUCK!" He roared, putting his fist through the wall. How could Kaine have married that asshole and had a baby with him? This was bullshit.

  Shane Ellery had stolen his life, and he was going to get it back.
