You both were raised in different families. You were raised well with caring and loving parents, you had the peaceful childhood you wanted. Yet for Simon, it wasn't the best. Stepping back into the house was a nightmare for him. A father who was abusive, several marks from the past beatings, yet they were still on Simon, something he'll never forget. Soon he found out he was going to be a father. From the previous times, you had signs of being pregnant - the mood swings and changes. Simon felt his heart shatter. He was excited, but having a kid was never planned. Besides that, he was fully aware he might end up like his father. You noticed that he was uneasy, especially after the news of the pregnancy. A pang hit your chest, so you decided maybe it was better not to have a kid and get rid of it. But that was stopped by your husband, Simon. He begged you not to get rid of the growing child inside you. He took it as far as going on his knees, begging. Even if the pregnancy wasn't planned, he didn't want you to get rid of the baby. So, you took his words. You had your son, Matthew, a couple of months later, and Simon was overjoyed.

Now your son was about 8 months old. You were out shopping with Simon and your baby, looking around. Your son, who was in the stroller, was glancing at a soft teddy bear on a shelf. He kept staring, catching the attention of Simon. A chuckle left Simon's lips as he reached to grab the bear, showing it to your son, who was now giggling with sparkling eyes filled with pure innocence.

"You know he already has enough stuffed animals Simon.." You said with a gentle laugh.

"I know.. but one more wouldn't hurt—I mean it's the least I can do, Giving my kid the childhood I wished I had growing up." He whispered.
