CHAPTER 13: SETTLING INTO FAMILY LIFE As the days turned into weeks, Alissa and Shawn settled into a comfortable routine with Ethan. They took turns feeding, changing, and cuddling their baby boy, and they both marveled at how much love they felt for him. Alissa was amazed at how naturally motherhood came to her. She had always been a bit of a worrier, but with Ethan, she felt a sense of calm and confidence that she had never felt before. Shawn was equally amazed at how much he loved being a dad. He had always thought that he would be a bit clueless when it came to babies, but with Ethan, he felt like a pro.

Alissa raised an eyebrow, curious. "What about?" she asked. Shawn smiled. "I think it's time we started making some long-term plans," he said. "You know, like buying a bigger house, and maybe even starting our own business." Alissa's eyes widened in surprise. "That sounds amazing," she said. "But are you sure we're ready for that?" Shawn nodded, his eyes shining with confidence. "I'm positive," he said. "We've come so far, and I know we can achieve anything as long as we're together."
