Christopher POV
Natalia was right about Tucker and the door leading to his room. Not long after I got in bed, the door opened and little footsteps entered the room. "Daddy, are you awake?" his little voice carries through the darkness.
I sit up and turn on the bedside lamp and see him halfway to the bed. "Yes, little man. Is everything okay?"
He comes and climbs up onto the bed next to me and gets under the covers. "Yes, sir. I just wanted to come sleep with you. Is that okay?"
My heart swells at the little boy that I helped create. With a smile, I tell him, "That is definitely fine with me." His smile makes the room brighter as I lay back down facing him.
"Daddy, can I ask you a question?" Tucker asks after I turn the lamp off.
"Sure," I reply as I turn back to him. The room is light enough for me to see his eyes looking directly at me.
"Do you love mommy?" his little voice asks. My heart starts to race at the thought of Natalia.
