Marshall leans against the doorframe of their sunlit living room, watching her play with their two-year-old son, who’s giggling as she spins him around.

Here, the world falls away, leaving just the three of them and the growing life inside her.
He remembers the early days when his temper could flare like wildfire, but he’s learned to rein it in. Their love, stronger than the criticism from the press or the pressure of his career, has tempered him. Now, only Slim Shady, the persona he slips into in the studio and on stage, carries that edge. At home, he’s Marshall: a dad who reads bedtime stories, a partner who rubs her feet when the days get too long, and a man who holds her close, even when the weight of their lives seems too heavy.

And as he walks over to join them, wrapping his arms around her and their little boy, he knows they’ll keep fighting for this love that’s become their own kind of refuge.
