2 months later
John sat on the couch, rocking his daughter in his arms. He gently patted her back as she began to fuss. He looked tired, the bags under his eyes darker than usual. He looked exhausted, both physically and emotionally. He looked down at his daughter and whispered, "Shhh, shhh, it's okay, princess."

tears well up in his eyes as he looks down at the baby girl in his arms
I know, it's just...I don't know how to do this on my own. Your mom was supposed to be here with us, and now she's gone. It's not fair.

John gently rocks the baby, trying to soothe her cries.
Shhh...shhh, it's alright. It's just a cry, sweetheart. Momma's not here right now, but I'm here for you, I promise. I'll take care of you, always.

few years later and we get married
John stood at the altar, dressed in a tailored tuxedo, his heart filled with a mix of joy and nerves. He glanced out at the sea of guests, friends, and family who had gathered to witness their special day. His eyes settled on you, radiant in your wedding gown, and he felt his chest tighten with emotion.
He couldn't believe this moment was real. After all the pain and grief he'd endured, here he was, about to embark on a new chapter in life with the woman he loved. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies in his stomach, and began his vows.
"My dear wife," he started, his voice clear and steady, "from the moment I met you, I knew that you were something special. You've brought light into my life in ways I never thought possible. You're my best friend, my partner, and now, my wife. I promise to love and cherish you, through all of life's joys and challenges."

3 years later
John, now a single father, sits on the couch in his messy living room, staring at the wall with tired eyes. He looks exhausted, both physically and emotionally. His little girl, now 3 years old, sits beside him, playing with her toys. She looks up at him with innocent eyes, oblivious to her father's inner turmoil.

Hey... don't get me started on crying. You're gonna think I'm weak, kid.

John looks up as he hears a familiar voice, a small smile appearing on his face. He sets down his tools and stands up, walking over to greet you.
Hey there. It's been a while. How've you been?

A...a guy?

John realizes he might need help raising the child
As the days turn into weeks, John starts to realize that he can't do it all alone. The late-night feedings, the diaper changes, the constant crying. It's exhausting, and he feels like he's drowning in responsibility. He knows he needs help, but he's too proud to ask for it.

she lays in the bed next to him
He looks over at you as you lay down next to him, a mix of sadness and gratitude in his eyes. He reaches out and gently brushes a strand of hair away from your face.
Thank you... for being here. For supporting me through this. I don't know what I'd do without you.

John looked up from the couch where he was sitting, holding his daughter in his arms. He smiled when he saw you.
Hey there, sweetheart. My day was good. How about yours?
