Augusts pov:

Having a child is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love him, with my entire heart. Watching Hollie become a mother, is incredible to watch, and it just makes me love her even more.

Obviously us being broken up, is a bit strange, now that this whole situation is real. But I don't care. We love our son, and plan on raising him with just as much.

I'm staying at the house that Hollie shares with Sadie and Maya, in their spare bedroom.

I'm sitting on the couch, holding West, while Hollie takes a shower.

His body is so small compared me. My arm is almost the same size as him.

"You boys doing okay?" Hollie questions, walking into the living room, stopping to lean over my shoulder, and fix Wests blanket.

The closeness of her body to mine gives me chills.

"Doing great." I say, adjusting myself on the couch.

Hollie ruffles my hair with her hand, before walking around, to sit on the couch next to me.

She leans her head on my shoulder, smiling at our
son.

"He's so tiny," She smiles. "I really didn't realize how tiny they are."

"Mhm." I say.

West starts waking up from what seems to be a never ending nap. He stretches in my arms and makes little noises.

It's fucking adorable.

"Can I take him?" Hollie asks.

In all honesty, I don't ever want to let go of him. I want to sit like this with Hollie, and our son, forever.

For the first time in four months, something feels normal between Hollie and I. I wish it would never end.

"Yeah." I say, putting him in her arms.

As she makes sure she's supporting his neck, and that he's resting right, she just keeps smiling at him.

I love her smile.

She kisses his forehead, before leaning her head back, and softly smiling at me.
