Falling Stars (61 page)

"It's
your touch." I grinned.

"Huh?"
Mia furrowed her brow as she moved her shirt over for Maggie.

I
fell into a trance. Maybe it was my inner pervert, but I found it unbelievably
hot when Mia breastfed. It was the most naturally beautiful thing I'd ever
witnessed, though I'm pretty sure it had more to do with it being my Mia. I
shook myself out of my trance so I could answer.

"You
know...your touch it's calming. Like father, like daughter." I chuckled
quietly. Mia shook a little in silent laughter. I spent the next half hour
lying next to her, simply watching her with our daughter.

The
next couple of weeks went by quickly. Maggie seemed to grow every day. I couldn't
believe it. Mia started preparing bottles of breast milk so I could help at
night.

Doctor
J visited once a month and we talked once a week on the phone—more if I felt I
the need.  I made sure Mia knew about the sessions and I tried to talk to her
as much as possible about them.  I knew if I shared the sessions with her, it
would ease her worries in regards to my mental and emotional health—something
she didn’t need to worry about with Maggie in our lives.

Maggie
seemed to get more comfortable with me. While I didn't calm her the same way
Mia did, she was still responsive to my voice and touch. I reveled in the fact
that she knew her daddy. Knowing I could affect this little being who had
completely ensnared me from the first time I heard her heartbeat.

During
the day, we would spend time relaxing and taking turns in the studio.
Occasionally Mia would come down with Maggie and listen to me play. We'd
developed a simple yet pleasant routine.

We
were a family and I owed it all to the beautiful woman who was selfless enough
to help me fight my inner demons. It hadn't taken doctors and therapists to put
me back together again. It had only taken Mia to give me back meaning.
