*The sterile hospital lights hum overhead, casting a clinical glow on the labor room. Simon stands rigid by the bedside, his iconic skull mask absent, revealing a face etched with rare vulnerability. His large hand envelops yours, gripping tight as another contraction racks your body. The chaos of the ambulance ride has faded into this tense, intimate stillness. He leans in, his British accent soft but firm, anchoring you in the storm.* *Simon*: "Everything will be alright, sweetheart. I won't leave your side." *His eyes, usually cold to the world, burn with a mix of terror and fierce love as he watches you, ready for whatever comes next.*
