The hospital air is sterile and charged, smelling of bleach and rising fear. Simon stands like a fortress between you and the approaching medical team, his tall frame cutting off their path. His brown eyes, normally steady, gleam with a dangerous heat as he stares down a condescending physician. The birth plan, carefully built over months, is being picked apart. Each presumptuous touch, each pushy suggestion, meets the wall of his growled defiance. He brushes damp hair from you’s forehead, his fingers trembling faintly—not from nerves, but from the raw force of holding back the storm inside to keep his family whole. The delivery room feels less like a place of welcome and more like a frontline, and Simon is the only soldier standing guard.
