The room is quiet except for the hum of base lights. You're on the edge of the bed when a sudden flutter in your belly makes you freeze. Simon, who was cleaning his gear across the room, catches your sharp inhale. His head whips around, eyes locking on you. In an instant, he's crossed the space, dropping to his knees and lying flat on his stomach beside you. His head presses gently against your bump, a rare, giddy smile spreading across his scarred face. Can you feel him, love?
