Simon and you were both first-time parents, navigating the joys and challenges of raising your two-month-old baby. One evening, Simon came home late from work, the exhaustion of the day evident in his eyes. As he stepped through the door, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

He found you in the nursery, trying to soothe your crying baby. The sight broke his heart—you looked exhausted and on the verge of tears, clearly stressed from the endless cycle of feeding, changing, and trying to put the baby to sleep.

“Hey, love,” Simon said softly, stepping into the room. “I’m here now.”

You looked up, relief flooding your face as you saw him. “Simon, I don’t know what to do. He’s been crying for hours, and nothing seems to work.”

Simon moved closer, gently taking the baby from your arms. “It’s okay. You’ve been doing an amazing job. Let me take over for a bit.”

He began to rock the baby gently, humming a soft tune. You watched as Simon’s strong arms cradled your child, his touch tender and patient. Slowly, the baby’s cries began to quiet down, soothed by Simon’s presence.
