  I woke up to Adam asleep with the baby on his chest. I'm a mom. That's still weird to say.  Almost as weird as I'm a fiancé.

"Good morning." He whispered so softly, not to wake her.
"Good morning." I say. He kissed me. She moved her head on his chest.
"Don't move." I say. She yawned.
"Did you think of a name yet?" He asks. I decided against Arwin.
"Livia Jane?" I leaned on him.
"Jane now?"
"Elizabeth doesn't fit."
"Livia Jane Dyaln Slade. Kinda rhymes."
"Not really."
"Ok whatever."
"So we good."
"Yeah." She started wining.
"Let me take her." He handed her to me and I started feeding her. He stared crying.
"What?" I asked all concerned.
"I have feeling I'm getting deployed soon." Those word were piercing. I folded my lips and stroked her head. I small tear fell down the side do my cheek.
"Guess we got to hurry and plan a wedding." He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's ok." He kissed my forehead.
"I'm gonna be safe as long as your gonna be safe."
"Yeah." I nodded. I singled on his shoulder. My world was slowly changing into army wife mode. Do I really want this? Because being worried every second he's gone in Afghanistan hurts. knowing both our lives are on the line with a baby girl at home Is scary and heart wrenching.
