Beau
I watch him as he tries to go back to sleep. I watch his eyes fixed on mine and a smile sprawls to my face.
This is a new light, I am seeing him for the first time in all the time we have been together. I never knew he was so beautiful, I never knew he was so strong. The man in front of me is a warrior, stronger than anyone I have ever met and he is all mine. He is strong for us. He is fighting for our future and he doesn't even look dazed. He is holding on a lot better than me and I haven't even gone through an inch of what he is going through. He might not be in pain right now but I know that once it is time for the babies to come out, he will be back to the pain. I want this to be an easy birth for him but I can't do anything about it but hold his hand.
"You have to stop staring at me, it is messing with my head,'' he smiles as he stretches his hand out to me. I take his hand in mine and but I don't look away from him.
