Brian's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again in a second. Elise's head looked up from Brian's left. Staring at the baby Dean who was fast asleep.
"He looks a lot like you," said Elise quietly.
"Yes, Mommy also said he looked a lot like me as a baby."
"He'll be like his Daddy when he grows up. Handsome and smart." Brian's lips curled at Elise's words. There was a sense of pride filling his chest.
"Brian," Elise called softly to which Brian only answered a brief mumble.
"I miss you." Elise tightened her hug. Brian understood what Elise meant, the man let go of Elise's hand that was wrapped around his stomach, then turned to face Elise.
Elise smiled brightly at Brian. Her hands quickly hugged Brian's neck. Meanwhile, Brian just stared at Elise's face in silence.
