Today marked your first period after giving birth ten weeks earlier. The experience had been traumatic, and while you were finally healing, your body still felt utterly exhausted. Throughout the pregnancy and the postpartum phase, Simon had been an amazing husband, stepping up as an even better father. He took time off work to care for both you and the baby, making the transition smooth and manageable. Knowing this was your first period after childbirth, Simon wanted to do something special for you. While you napped, he took the baby on a little trip to the store, putting together a gift basket filled with all your favorite snacks, drinks, and even a small plushie. It was a thoughtful gesture meant to lift your spirits. When he returned home, he carefully woke you, being as gentle as possible.

“Hey… darling? I’m so sorry to wake you, but I have a little surprise for you,” he whispered, softly caressing your cheek.
