The following morning, Mason awoke before Maeve and Theo in an air of relief. For the entirety of their relationship, he had gotten used to her company and almost had seen it as normality, the normality he craved Atleast. But the past few months, particularly days, of disagreements and failure to see eye to eye had led him in a new direction of gratefulness. Every moment she was near him he was relieved. Every touch she placed upon him was savoured.

The sun shone through the window, reflecting upon his wife's face as she slept peacefully. He lay with a warm smile embraced across his mouth at her innocent beauty, but this morning she looked somewhat more exhausted than he'd previously noticed. As she slept, her skin was slightly paler than before with redness beneath her eyes, her lips more dry than glossed as her messily plaited hair spread across her pillow. In Masons eyes, she was flawless. Every inch of his wife perfect. But he couldn't help but feel guilty, knowing his absence from her life was the reason behind her exhausted state. Placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, he removed his hand from her stomach and gently sat himself up in bed. In the distance, he could hear a tiny Theo stirring in his cot. And before his tiny whimpers could escalate, Mason jumped up out of bed and placed a tender kiss on his wife's head.
"Rest up, sweetheart," he whispered into her forehead, stroking her head as he did.
"Mmh," she stirred with an innocent smile, acknowledging her Masons presence.
"God I love you. Please don't leave me," he whispered, not expecting her to even hear him in her sleepy state. He was correct, the girl remaining with her dreams. Mason knew he needed to keep her, and he knew to do that he needed to redeem himself from the distance she had faced recently, and the arguments when they were near eachother. But by this point, his son was beginning to cry. So Mase hoisted himself to the doorway and headed along the cream carpeted landing to the nursery.
"Hey little man, what's all this noise for?" He exaggerated his words and actions to entertain the child, who sat upright reaching for him.
"Come on then, mister," Mason placed his hands under his arms and pulled him up to himself. He bounced him round in his arms for moments, hushing the child until he had become once again quiet, apart from the occasional giggle. Mason lay his eyes on his son, his whole heart warming. Whilst everyone always saw a resemblance from Mason in Theo, he couldn't help but see Maeve in him. His caramel eyes, his olive skin with rose flushed cheeks and his already prominent brown hair.

Mason continued to do housework, just little bits and pieces for when his wife awoke with the child held against his hip. He lit a few candles to send a sweet scent through the house, turned on the hob and pulled the pans out of the dishwasher, beginning to correlate ingredients to make Maeve's favourite for when she woke up - pancakes. At the same time, he chattered fatherly to Theo, melting into each giggle, or each time he blew a kiss to him, or every time he used his tiny hands to grab his face.

Eventually, Mason sat down with Theo on his lap, turning on the tv to Theo's favourite channel, content he had prepared the breakfast to this best of his ability and left it ready on the kitchen table for when she was ready to wake. Checking his phone, he realised it was already 10am. The pair quickly snapped a little photo, before Mason posted it to Instagram.

Once Mason had finished being harassed by the boys on Instagram, he suddenly had an idea. Opening up WhatsApp, he began to search for the old group chat from Maeve's birthday preparation - the one with the whole group of friends, minus his wife.
