pregnancy/birth with evgeni
we were robbed at the end of the movie (spoilers) of not getting to see his face when she tells him that she’s pregnant. so i have thoughts about this.
this sweetheart lost his first wife, and he still grieves that loss. so when you come along and bring joy to his life he is happy and content and doesn’t ask for more, but when you become pregnant it’s a joy he wasn’t ever expecting. he lost his wife at such a young age i don’t think he thought having a baby was in the cards for him anymore.
his smile would be SO SOFT. it would light up in his eyes. he’d whisper the russian word for ‘baby’ and he’d hug you tight then give you the sweetest kiss ever known to man.
he’s gentle by nature and he’d def help you in any way he can during the pregnancy. there’d be a lot of piano playing to lull you to sleep when you sleep on the couch cuz your back hurts.
lots of tender touches and warmth. a soft hand on your back quietly asking if you need anything.
he’s very aware of your moods and how to respond.
he admires your strength so much, but also you admire his. he’s very steady throughout the whole thing and has been a gentle shoulder to lean on during your fears of bringing a child into the world. he’s very calm about the whole thing.
he’s ready to go when you have the baby, whispering soothing words and being a good coach while your body works so hard.
you’ve never seen him more tender than when he holds your baby, he’s very quiet and very still but you see that soft smile in the corner of his mouth. his eyes fixed on the little one :’)
