~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simon had a rare day off from the Devils, and he had the whole day planned for you. Sleep in, cook your favorite breakfast, and then finish building the furniture in the nursery. Not because he was stalling or distracted, but youâve ordered so much baby furniture during your nesting stage.
Simon cracked his eyes open, assuming to find you wrapped in his arms, it was always his favorite way to start his day, but you werenât there. He was cuddling a pillow instead of his beautiful flower were you in the bathroom? Why didnât you wake him up? Heâs been in helicopter mode ever since you hit your third trimester, wherever you were, he wasnât too far behind, and donât get him started on how he acts when heâs on a roadie. Heâs constantly texting or facetimeing.
 âKvet?â Simon called out, rubbing sleep out of his eyes, hoping you were just in the bathroom. âKvet?â Simon repeated a little louder, but still no answer. Simon hopped out of bed, trying to keep his heart steady. He desperately needed to find you, to make sure you were safe, to make sure his daughter was safe.
His heart dropped to his stomach when he heard a loud thud coming from the walk-in closet. He ran in to find you on the floor, pouting, wearing a baby tee that wouldnât dare go near the curve of your bump and your favorite ripped denim shorts that sat at your knees. You rubbed your 8-month bump, sighing in defeat. Simon felt relieved that you or the baby werenât harmed.
Simon had a bittersweet smile on his lips. The pregnancy was an accident, celebrating your third anniversary with drinks and passionate sex. Neither of you could remember whether or not you used protectionâŠthen it became blatantly clear you didnât when the tests both came back positive. It was obviously nerve-wracking for both of you due to the fact that you both are young, Simonâs hockey schedule taking the majority of his time, and you went into a spiral. Simon, who was also panicking but didnât show it because that isnât what you needed, once he helped calm you down, he gave you some reassurance, âMy beautiful kvet, everything will be alright. If you donât want this, then we can go to the clinic. If you do, weâll figure it out, okay. Itâs your choice because it is your body, I will support you no matter whatâ.
Simon sat on his knees in front of you. âI did it again,â You whispered, not meeting his eyes. Simon reassured you that it just meant the baby was healthy, would always shower you in compliments, and physical touch, so you would know that he still loved you.
Though you couldnât help but torment yourself by looking at your pre-maternity photos. Mirror selfies, pictures with your friends, Pictures with your boyfriend, Simon. Then your cruel brain did what it always doesâŠtell you that you should try your regular clothes because itâs not that bad, and as usual, you listen.
âIâm sorry.â Your voice wavered, wiping your teary eyes. Simon felt his heart tear. âKvet, itâs okay. You donât need to apologize,â Simon assured in a soft tone. Simon wiped the tears you missed. âIâm fat,â you wheeped, still not making eye contact with your boyfriend. âKvet,â Simon held your chin and guided your eyes to his. âIâm sorry you feel uncomfortable, but I still think you are gorgeous.â Simon verifies, smooshing your cheek with his lips so you know he was serious.
It kills Simon that he canât squash this insecurity; the guys from the team would share stories of their mistakes, so he wouldnât make the same. How badly he wanted to say âyouâre not fatâ or âyou're pregnant,â he knew that wouldnât solve anything, and those are the last things you needed to hear.
âDo you still find me sexually attractive?â You wondered, Simon didnât hesitate, âYes,â he tucked a chunk of your hair behind your ear. âDo you still want to have sex with me?â You questioned, and Simon gave a kind smile. âIâm like a thirteen-year-old boy when Iâm around you,â Simon admitted. You let out a giggle. Simon did the only thing he thought would show that his answers were genuine; he littered your face with kisses; you practically had to shove him off you.
âCan you help me out of this?â you huffed, struggling to get your shirt off. âOf course,â Simon nodded. Your boyfriend strips your clothes; he kept his face neutral so you wouldnât spiral again, though it wasnât much effort. âDo you want my shirt?â Simon offered, thinking it would help, you nod and Simon pulled his shirt off over his head. âArms up for me, my peknĂœ kvietok.â Simon prompted, you did, and Simon helped you into it. When he pulled away, he noticed you melted into the shirt that swallowed you whole. âBetter?â Simon wondered, you nodded.
Simon knew that pregnancy is temporary and so are your struggles that are entangled with it, but it didnât matter to him; all that mattered was you and your well-being.Â
