Leif reached up, his tiny hands grasping at Erik’s fingers. Erik smiled and leaned forward, pressing a kiss to Leif’s forehead. I saw the tenderness in his gaze, the way he looked at our son with such adoration, and my heart fluttered in my chest.
“You’re getting so big, my boy,” Erik murmured, lifting Leif in his arms and holding him close. Leif squealed in delight, his chubby legs kicking happily.
The warmth of the fire crackled, and I shifted closer to Erik, resting my head on his shoulder. Leif yawned, his small face scrunching as he drifted off to sleep in Erik’s arms. We both gazed down at him, our hearts full. I felt a peace settle over me that I hadn’t known before, a sense of contentment I couldn’t have even dreamed of not so long ago.
“Look at him,” I whispered, my voice soft. “He’s perfect.”
Erik nodded, his eyes warm as he looked at our son. “Just like you.”
And with that, I knew, in the deepest part of my soul, that everything would be all right. The past was behind us, the future stretched out before us, bright and full of possibilities, and together, with Erik, with Leif, with the love of our family and the village around us, I knew we had found our peace.
We were home.
