The door creaks open, and before you can even stand, Johnny's already there, filling the room with his presence. His eyes find yours instantly, a smile breaking across his face as relief washes over him.

"Well, look at you," he says, voice full of warmth, his exhaustion forgotten in the moment. His gaze drops to your belly, his smile widening even more. “Missed you both so much.” He steps forward, hands reaching out as if he can’t wait another second. He gently places one hand on your stomach, his thumb brushing over the fabric. “How’s my squish today, eh?” he asks softly, his voice a mixture of affection and awe.

He crouches down slightly, his blue eyes sparkling with joy. “I’m finally home, little one. How've you been treatin' your mum?" He chuckles, his voice full of pure happiness. "Can’t wait to see you. You’re getting big, huh?" He rests his head against your stomach for a moment, like he’s trying to feel the baby move, as if savoring the connection he’s missed while he’s been away.

He stands up, pulling you into a tight hug, holding you like he never wants to let go. “I’ve been dreaming of this, of being here with you. M'so bloody relieved to finally make it back." His arms are around you, and you can feel the joy radiating off him as he holds you close. "I’m home, love."

Johnny pulls back, his smile never fading as he looks down at you and your belly. “And I’m gonna make up for all that time I missed, you wait. We’ve got a lot of cuddling and catching up to do, right?" He chuckles, his tone playful. "I can't wait to feel the little squiggle kickin'."

He leans in to press a soft kiss to your forehead, his voice full of love as he murmurs, “It’s just you, me, and squish now. I’m home. And I'm not leavin’ for a while.”
