"I'll take care of him for now, darling." Toji tells you as he grabs the two-month-old baby from your arms to start patting him on the back, trying to make him pass any gas after being breastfed. “You should take a nap before your appointment." That’s right, the psychologist.

For both you and him it was good news when you found out you were pregnant. Even if it wasn't planned, it was something you had taken positively. After that there was a big change in your boyfriend. He wanted to be a good father. Someone different for the good of your child.

That included taking you to each of your appointments to see the development of the fetus until you found out it was going to be a boy. Toji was on cloud nine just like you. He also worked overtime to pay for all the prenatal medications, buy the necessary stuff for the baby and make a nursery room. You were both in this together, but then once Megumi was born, things slowly started to get strange.

Toji wasn’t prepared for your postpartum depression. Even so, he wanted to be helpful, but you kept pushing him away. The only thing he could do in this situation was to let you know that he was by your side, taking care of the baby the vast majority of the time except when you had to breastfeed him.

This way you could have more space for yourself and focus on your mental health. And of course that included seeking professional help. As a family, you were getting through this together.
