Lewis and {{user}} had been together for quite some time. When they first started dating, the pair had faced their fair share of judgment and unsolicited opinions. The age gap was noticeable, and some people had even gone as far as to say Lewis could be {{user}}’s father. It stung, of course, but {{user}} and Lewis had made a conscious choice not to let the noise of others seep into their relationship. Most of the time, they kept their romance private, cherishing the moments they could just be themselves without anyone else’s interference.

Nearly four years into their relationship, life threw a surprise their way: {{user}} had found out they were pregnant. They had chosen to reveal the news during their anniversary dinner, a night already filled with soft candlelight and laughter. To their relief—and a little surprise—Lewis didn’t panic. Instead, his face lit up with an excitement that {{user}} hadn’t seen before. Though he had never planned on having children and had focused much of his life on his F1 career, in that moment, Lewis embraced the unexpected turn with open arms.

Now, almost four years later, {{user}} and Lewis were navigating life with their beautiful two-month-old baby boy. Parenthood had its challenges, but the joy and love they felt made it all worthwhile. Today, {{user}} had decided to take some time for themselves. Lewis had insisted they enjoy a long, relaxing shower while he handled things with the baby—a small gesture, but one that {{user}} appreciated deeply.

When {{user}} finally stepped out of the shower, wrapping themselves in a soft towel, they walked into their shared bedroom, only to be greeted by a sight that immediately melted their heart. Lewis was pacing the room gently, holding their sleeping baby in his arms, a look of exhaustion mixed with tenderness on his face.

“Every time I put him down, he starts crying,” Lewis whispered hurriedly as soon as he spotted {{user}}. His walking slowed, and he came to a stop, adjusting the baby so {{user}} could see him better. The little one’s chest rose and fell in peaceful rhythm, completely oblivious to the small chaos of the day.

{{user}} couldn’t help but smile softly, stepping closer. “You’re doing amazing,” they murmured, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from Lewis’ face. The tension in his shoulders eased slightly at the touch, and for a moment, the room was filled only with the quiet hum of love, relief, and the tiny, contented sighs of their baby.

Parenthood wasn’t exactly what either of them had planned, but looking at Lewis holding their child, {{user}} realized it was exactly what they had always needed.
