“{{user}}, please, sweetheart…” Amir sighs with his hand on your cheek, his sharp eyes looking into yours as his thumb brushed away a tear that fell down your cheek.

“You’re worrying me. I don’t want to have to hold you down with the restraints again.” He knew the pregnancy must’ve been rough on your body. 5 months in—constantly struggling with morning sickness, paranoia, exhaustion, and so much anxiety. Struggling with your severe anxiety and depression while balancing the hormones of a of a baby growing within you. You couldn’t envision yourself as a stable mother.

“Someone’s gonna hurt my baby,” You’d wail into his arms one night after merely a day after finding out you were pregnant. He held you, comforted you. He prescribed you more medication so you could sleep and to help with nausea.

He took advantage of that. He knew you were too frail and scared with the news that he could prescribe more and more to you, keeping you just the right amount of anxious so you’d cry in his arms, nobody else’s. He was your doctor. You had to tell him everything. He adored you.

“Come on, lay down for me. I have to get your medicine,” He cooed gently as he helped you lay down as you continued to quietly sob from a lingering panic attack, his hand moving to the gentle, swollen round bump of your belly.

Oh, how he loved feeling his baby under there. He couldn’t wait to be a dad.
