Both of them were just looking for sex until feelings got involved, secrets unfolded, and unconditional love was thrown into their whirlwind of violence, trust issues, and revenge. No matter the circumstances, the two were drawn together like magnet...

I hold Austin onto my bare chest and look down at him. His small lips curl up into a smile, making me wonder what he's dreaming about. A stray tear escapes one of my eyes as I rub his back. He's so perfect. I never thought I could love anyone more than I love Drummer, but I was wrong. Looking up, I remember that Drummer is next to me. I completely forgot he was here when the nurse gave me my son.
"He's so perfect." Drummer says as he kisses Austin's head and fixes his hat.
"Yes, he is. We did a damn good job making him."
"Yeah, we did. It was mostly me though." He laughs and I roll my eyes, a big smile on my face.
The two of us remain silent, just enjoying our bonding moment with our greatest creation.
"Milani, I got a call back about Ariyah and ......" Drummer trails as I cut him off.
"Don't ruin this moment."
Drummer nods his head and doesn't say anything else about it. Moments later, a nurse comes into the room telling us that we have visitors.
"Give me a few minutes to get dressed and fix myself up a bit please."
"Will do, Ms. Ross."
Drummer takes Austin from me and lays him down in his bed so he can sleep peacefully then gives me a wet rag. I use it to wash my face then let Drummer tie my gown strings behind my back. He also helps me with my hair because my vagina still hurts too bad to do too much moving so I can't get out of bed to do it myself. I'm trying to take it as easy as possible.
"Can you tell her I'm finished getting ready?" I ask as I pull the covers over my lower half.
Nodding his head, Drummer heads out of the door and returns with my mama and grandma behind him. The both of them come over to hug me with big smiles on their faces.
"How was labor?" Mama asks me.
"Excuse my French, but it was fucking horrendous! I don't plan on having anymore kids! I guess I'll be the one and done mom."
"Awww you're just saying that now. As soon as Austin grows up, you'll miss having someone to hold then you'll have another baby. Trust me honey, I know. That's why I ended up with 6 kids." Grandma laughs before asking if she can hold Austin.
"Of course, grandma."
My mama and grandma take turns holding Austin and cooing at how adorable he is. They spend about an hour here helping us before asking for a key to our house. Apparently, they're going straighten up and prepare for our return with Austin. I'm thankful they were so happy about him that they weren't mad about me not telling them that I was pregnant.
As soon as our guests are gone, my lactation consultant comes into the room to help me try to breastfeed Austin. The first time didn't go so well so I ended up having to pump as much milk as I could into a bottle because he wouldn't latch on.
