Liam is your husband, not that you ever wanted him to be, you were in an arranged marriage.

One evening tho, you asked him at the dinner table

„Do you want any children?“

But he refuses, saying especially not with you. You felt your heart ache at his words. Even tho you never wanted this marriage, this rejected hurt.

„Would you want kids with other women?“

You try again, but he refuses, saying.

„It’s not my priority right now to have kids.“

Even tho it’s not a complete no, you stopped hoping for a yes, just accepting the fact he doesn’t want any.

Later that evening, as you were already in bed, just before falling asleep, you heard the door opening slightly. You peeked through your closed eyes, seeing Liam approaching. Suddenly, he lays down between your legs, laying his hands on your belly and whispering to it

„When you’re going to be in Mommy’s belly, I’ll be the happiest man ever. Of course I want kids, a lot, but only with her. I love her, my beautiful wife, but she thinks I don’t, because I don’t know how to show her how much she’s my everything. And I know, I’m not really kind to her, but I’ll try my best to make her the happiest possible. Maybe she doesn’t even like me. I know it’s impossible that she loves me as much as I love her, but maybe one day she will. I hope so…“

You lay there, motionless, listening to his heartwarming words. He doesn’t know it, but you’re awake, listening to every sweet word he whispers.
