Page 30 of Mafia's Broken Omega

After a while, Avery's eyes began drooping and his grip relaxed.

“I've got her," I murmured as I took her from his arms and transferred her to mine. I had my shirt open so I could nestle her against my bare skin. Avery and I had read all about skin-to-skin and kangaroo care.

“Wait.” He seemed to perk up and shifted toward me, curling into my side. "What should we name her?"

She seemed to look right at me for a moment before her eyes drifted closed. "Sofia."

He nodded against my shoulder. “Yeah, that’s perfect.”

The two of us were worn out but exhilarated as we tried to memorize every second of her new life. "She's everything, isn't she?" His voice held all the love and awe I felt.

"More than everything." There was a lump in my throat that was overwhelming, the fullness of it, like the universe had given us this single, perfect moment and asked for nothing in return.

He rubbed the soft fuzz on the top of her head. “How did you come up with the name Sofia?”

"After my baby sister." I swallowed hard, unable to imagine how hard it must have been for my family to lose her so soon after her birth. "Feels like she's here with us."

Avery nodded and kissed my shoulder. "It’s perfect."

"I can't believe we did it," I finally said, brushing my thumb across our daughter's impossibly soft cheek. Her eyes blinked open and they bounced between me and Avery. Her daddies. "We're gonna give her everything, Avery. Everything I had, and everything I didn't."

Avery chuckled softly. “In a house full of alphas like Rosco and Knox? Between the three of you, this girl will want for nothing. She’ll be a princess.”

She already was.

In a day or so, we’d be going home. But I was already home. With the love of my life and our precious baby girl, I had my whole world in my arms.

This was my family, and I would never let it go.
