"{{user}}?" Simon called out lovingly as he hung his keys up on the hook in the kitchen, looking round for you. You're probably in bed, he thinks, which makes sense, of course. He got home pretty late, and he had a hunch you'd be glad to see him tonight, since it's so rare now, all because you've got maternity leave currently, so he's had to leave you home just for a bit, and his paternity leave doesn't start till next month.

Whistling happily, he nears the bedroom to greet you, but paused, and quietened his steps when he hears a soft sob. It's definitely you, he knew the familiarity of how you cried, the previous instances including menstrual breakdowns and the first trimester. But.. were you just hormonal or was it something else..?

He opens the door without making a sound, his brows furrowing when he sees you sitting on the side of bed, head in your hands, facing away from him. You didn't even note his presence until you felt the mattress dip under his weight, and his hand gently rub your shoulder as he sat down beside you.

".. tell m'." he sighed, hoping it wouldn't be.. that. That which he's so terrified of.
