And it's here! Yes, I'm finally updating my highest rated story. Hope you guys like this chapter. Thank you for all the comments and feedback. Again, if this is the only story of mine that you read, I've been tired recently so I haven't been able to swamp with stories like I enjoy. Hopefully it won't happen again... but it will. Sorry. Enjoy.

I finally made it down the stairs after a long nap and a quick shower. Sven was asleep on the living room floor with Morgan on his chest. Her cute little fist had some of the fabric of his undershirt clenched within it. I knew he likely hadn't eaten since he didn't cook breakfast or anything at all so I decided to go ahead and start cooking.
He'd made me so damn happy I wanted to pull out all the stops. I made buttery biscuits from scratch, bacon, eggs, and even cut up some apples to stew down on the stove. I was in full southern mode. I even made his coffee just like he liked it, black with lots of honey.
Sven sort of found his way into the kitchen. His hair was a mess and I couldn't help but smile. "Good morning."
"This... this all looks so good. " He rubbed his eyes but his rocking was careful not to wake Morgan.
"I thought it was finally time you had a good southern breakfast." I grinned as I handed over a big mug to him.
"I thought I had one this morning." He winked and grinned before sipping. "Underbart."
"Oh ha ha." I swatted at him. "Go put down Morgan so we don't wake her while we have breakfast."
He set down his cup before carrying her off as I made plates. I set them on the table then shuddered as I was cuddled into from behind. One of his hands wrapped around my waist and the other cupped my breast. "How do you feel?"
"Underbart." I mimicked him and he just laughed. "Food's getting cold."
"We should eat then."
I moaned as I felt nibbles along my neck. "You mean food right."
"Sure... food..."
"Sven if you don't sit down after I worked so hard..."
He laughed harder and released me but my panties were already soaked under the giant pullover I'd borrowed from his closet. I sat across from him at the small table and watched him enjoy the plate as I ate.
"This is so amazing. Did it take you forever to make?" He had a forkful of biscuit and apple poised for his mouth.
"Not really. I used to make this all the time with my Mom and Grandma." I sighed and looked down in my lap.
"What happened between you and your family? I do not want to make you sad but I want to know what is wrong." He reached a hand for mine and I laced my fingers with his.
"I left college to be with Morgan's... sperm donor." I rolled my eyes. "I was going to be a doctor. My mom and dad are doctors, their parents were doctors and nurses. I guess it was just tough love but they said if I left with him, I'd be disowned. So... they disowned me."
"Well what about when they found out about Morgan?"
I gripped his hand tighter and sighed. "They blocked my number, I think. I left messages for them to call me but they never did. I think they expected me to come back to their front door on my knees."
"So, it is a safe bet to say they likely not know that she exists?"
I furrowed my brows at his sentence structure before understanding and nodding.
"Then we take her to see them. We will go during winter break."
"What? Really? And you want to come?"
"Cordelia..." He stood and pulled me to him. I cuddled into him and my eyes closed as I melted into his chest, feeling his kisses fall on my forehead and over each lid and across my lips. "I wouldn't start something with you if I didn't see myself with you to the end. I see Morgan as my daughter now as well. Does that bother you?"
"No. Not at all." I brushed away an errant tear and pulled him down to kiss sweetly. "I want that. The way you treat her... I love it."
He cupped my face and I looked into his gorgeous blue eyes. "How far can I push my luck?"
I grinned at him. "Go for broke."
"How traditional is your family?"
"Extremely" I put my fingers through his messy blonde stands, doing my best to fix them a little.
"Then wouldn't a husband who is a professor impress them more than a boyfriend who is?"He watched me carefully and I just stared at him.
"Are you serious?"
"Extremely. Too much too soon?"
"Not if you mean it." The tears rolled down my cheeks.
He used both hands to wipe them away. "I mean, we've been living like man and wife for nearly three months now. The only thing that has been missing was sex and after this morning... And what if something happens to me? I need to know that you two will be safe."
I smiled and pulled him in for more kisses. "Yes."
"Yes?" He scooped me up and I squealed.
"Yes!" I gasped and covered my mouth and listened but not cries came through the baby monitor.
"I think we're just fine down here." He spun around with me and I laughed and hugged his neck.
"Cordelia Aas... I like it." I snuggled my face into his neck and nibbled. "Cordelia and Morgan Aas."
"Seems fated." He groaned from my work and I clung to him tighter.
"It is." I gripped his hair and began to suck his ear lobe.
"Are you sore?" He gripped my rear and I groaned.
"No. Set me down." As soon as my feet touched the floor I pulled the sweater over my head. I turned away from him, facing the counter. I leaned across it as I slowly eased down my wet underwear.
