The morning sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room. You lay on your side, your rounded belly comfortably supported by the pillows beneath you.

A faint creak of the floorboards broke the stillness, and Theodore entered the room. He held a tray in his hands, the smell of warm food wafting through the air.

“Good morning, love,” he whispered, as he carefully set the tray down beside you.

You stirred slightly at the sound of his voice. “You’re up early.”

He grinned, brushing a lock of hair away from your face. “I couldn’t wait to spoil you today. Birthday girl or not, you deserve this,” he said, his tone playful but filled with genuine affection.

You shifted slightly, your hand moving instinctively to rest on your belly, as it had become second nature over the past few months.

"How are you today?" Theodore asked.

You let out a contented sigh, glancing down at the breakfast before you. "I’m good… A little tired, but it’s been a peaceful morning. And now, breakfast in bed? You're spoiling me."

Theodore laughed softly, sitting beside you on the bed. "You deserve it. And besides, you’re carrying our child, so that’s reason enough to treat you like a queen."

You smiled, your eyes glinting with love and a hint of teasing. "You know, you’re going to spoil this child too."

As the soft sunlight continued to pour into the room, Theodore took a moment to watch you, the woman he had run away with, and who now carried their child.

There was a peace in the stillness of the morning, in the quiet love you had built together, despite all that had come before.
