“Maybe we can start doing it again? Together?” I suggest.
I hold my breath as we walk again, waiting for Thorin to say something, anything.
“Yeah, I would love that,” he says. “I have a baby monitor coming today so we can set it up in case Juniper needs us.”
“You are so thoughtful,” I whisper, leaning into his side. “I honestly forgot about things like that. You seem to have everything under control.”
“It’s my job,” is all he says.
“But it’s also my job. I mean, I did give birth to her. I am her mother.”
“Yes, and I’m not taking it away from you. I just know you’ve been a little overwhelmed, so I stepped in without you having to ask me.” He kisses my forehead.
“Thank you, Thorin, I really appreciate it.”
