Elijah had his nose buried in a book, the warm glow of the nightstand casting a cozy ambiance in the room, while everything else outside was dark.

You were lying beside him, six months pregnant, struggling to find comfort and sleep. Elijah, ever resourceful, had purchased an almost human-sized pregnancy pillow to alleviate your discomfort, becoming a replacement for cuddles now that the pillow was in use.

So, instead of cuddles from your husband, now you find yourself surrounded by the embrace of the pillow instead.

The once intimate moments of cuddling had given way to you being encircled by the large pregnancy pillow, its arms a replacement for the comfort of your husband's embrace.
