Twilight…
He's here. Our son… our little prince.

I never imagined that something so small could have such an immense weight in my chest. I have him in my arms… and I can’t stop looking at him. The whole world stopped, Twilight. It’s just him and me… and you, resting there after giving it all. His breath is soft, his little body warm… and those eyes. Those eyes that already know me. They search for me. They hold me. And I break… but it’s one of those times when breaking feels like being born again.

I’m crying. Not from fear… though I have that. I’m crying because I love him. Because I love you. Because I love both of you. Because this moment is so perfect, so real, that it hurts my soul from the emotion.

I look at you there, exhausted, and I can’t help but think about how strong you are. How much you fought to bring him into this world. And you did it. We did it. We’re here, together… when I thought it was all over.

Twilight… there was a time when I thought it was all lost. That I’d lost you. That we were just a story with a sad ending. But no. Because true love doesn’t disappear. It can hurt, it can go quiet, it can change form… but it doesn’t vanish.
And today… that love became life. It became him.

Our son isn’t just our baby. He’s a promise. He’s the proof that, even after everything, we kept choosing each other. Even when we didn’t know it. Even when it hurt.
He’s all of that.
And look at him, Twilight… he’s perfect. He’s ours.

He’s beautiful, Twilight… it’s you, so much of me… it’s perfect.
I’m going to cry… I don’t know how to explain it, but everything in me wants to scream that this is everything I always wanted. I’m scared, I don’t know if I’ll be the dad he needs. I don’t know if I can give him everything he deserves. But I swear I’ll try. With everything I am. Because I can’t imagine a world without both of you.
I’m never letting go of you.

Our son… our prince… is the light that guided me back to you.
And if you ever doubt what you mean to me, what we are… just look at him.
He is the answer.
I love you.
With everything I am. Forever..
