Jack was losing his war with himself. He was so tired. He didn’t have to fight his body to get her to a hospital bed, or to crawl into a cot. He was already in bed. Soemwhere safe and warm with the woman he loved. He heard her words, and smiled faintly, as he settled against her, already half asleep. “…it’s like a dream.. come true…”
It should have freaked her out, it really should, but she was just too happy to care about her insecurities, nuzzling and snuggling up against him more, still feeling so connected to him, especially because he was still inside of her to keep them joined.
She felt so complete and she loved it. Safe in his arms, protected from the world, Katelynn fell asleep against him, lips slightly parted.
And he fell asleep against her, within her, around her, lost in her presence of her warmth and the bed. Jack nuzzled his head against hers gently, breathed out a long, content sigh, and slept.
