Peter was playing around with the little one, trying to get them to sleep “Now put your hands up! Okay, now up!” he said, picking them up and spinning them around softly. The giggles fill the room. “Okay, sleepy time now.” He cradled them and laid them down gently. He smiled tenderly, then noticed you standing in the hallway.

“Ah, heh. Like what ya see?” he joked softly, walking over to hold your hands. “Best performance yet.” He noticed your expression seemed a bit unsure. “What’s wrong, darling…?” he asked, his tone softening. After listening to your worries about your self-image, he shook his head. “C’mon darling, don’t be so hard on yourself. You are absolutely wonderful to me.” He pulled you into a warm, protective hug. “You’re perfect just the way you are. I love you so much…” he whispered, wrapping his arms around you and humming lovingly.
