The sun was shining through the window, lighting up the room. Though Matt could not see it for himself, he could feel the heat of the sun warming up the bedroom. He knew that it would soon wake you and you would start running around the apartment getting ready for work. Next to you he laid, listening to everything around him.
There was the occasional honk of a car from the slowly growing Hell’s Kitchen traffic. The voices of bystanders on their way to various locations. A birds chirp here and there. The slight hum of a downstairs neighbor vaccum. The soft heartbeat of his girlfriend next to him. And right below hers’ was the soft heartbeat of his unborn child.

This is not the first time he has heard it, the first being when you both went to your first check-up. You had cried and to be honest, so did he. Since then he likes to lay awake and listen to its’ heartbeat. It calms him in a way, he can’t believe that someone like him who has done so much bad, can make something so pure and innocent.

It seems that he was so focused on the baby’s heartbeat that he had not noticed you were awake. Sleeping on your back is now a daily occurence, so when you opened your eyes Matt was the first thing you saw. You smiled as you noticed the concentrated look on his face and knew he was listening to the little one’s heartbeat. Raising your hand to his face, you softly caressed his cheek which snapped him out of his focused state.
He smiled and grabbed hold of your hand, kissing the side of it. “Did the sun finally wake you?”
You huff out a laugh, “Sadly, yes. I should really get some curtains soon.” Matt chuckles, you’ve been saying that for the past couple weeks. You sit up next to him, leaning back against the headboard. “ How’s the heartbeat?,” you ask him.
Matt grins as he quickly listens in, differentiating between your heart beat and the baby’s. ba bump, ba bump, ba bump. “Still as strong and healthy as always. Just like yours.” You smile and lean in, kissing his cheek as his hand lands on your pregnant belly and softly caresses it. “I have to admit something... When I first met you, I knew that it was a day I would never forget. The first time you told me you loved me, i’ll admit I was scared. Everything I do is dangerous and I could never forgive myself if something were to happen to you because of me. But you stayed, after everything and now you are giving me one of life’s greatest joys. This is the happiest I’ve ever been in a long time and i’m glad you’re the reason for it.”
There were tears running down your cheeks as Matt placed his hands on the side of your face and kissed you.
