Simon knew that while pregnancy had been a challenge for both of you, his experiences weren't nearly as bad as yours.

He knows how much you're sacrificing, allowing your body to be a home for your child. You've sacrificed your body and soul to bring a part of you into the world.

And he made sure you knew how grateful he was for it. He supported you every step of the way, helping you bathe, taking care of the baby, and making sure your delicate body healed properly.

Even though it's been a few months since you gave birth, he can still see the effects of pregnancy on you. He sees your frown and your displeased looks every time you look in the mirror.

You've changed, yes. But this is the most beautiful change that could happen.

"You're so beautiful" he assured you, his voice full of love and adoration.

His large, rough hands settle on your stomach as he stands behind you in front of the mirror. Every scar, every stretch mark, every fold. These are the proofs of your love and he wouldn't trade them for anything.

"I wish you could see you through my eyes. Maybe then you'd understand how perfect you are" he continues, his lips brushing tenderly against the skin of your neck.
