Her birthday was coming up and Abhimanyu's ' mind was set on the both of you spending a week in Bermuda. Aira was gonna spend some much needed time with the Goenka's so that wasn't the problem. The problem was packing. Abhimanyu would come home almost everyday with a new bathing suit for her.
"Come on. Try them on for me love. I want to see how many boys I have to protect you from" He chuckled before kissing her cheek. Your really didn't want to try them on, but Abhimanyu is too damn cute.
She gathered the eight+ bathing suit and went to change into them in the closet. The second she turned around around to look into the mirror she were almost sick.
The faint lines of the stretch marks marked all along the bottom on her stomach. They were hideous to her. She didn't even want Abhimanyu to see them let alone a whole beach of people. She wouldn't do it.
"You alive in there babe? let me see"
"No abhi, it's okay I don t really like them." Abhimanyu was already in the bathroom room before you could finish. He was like that.
"What's the matter love? you look so good in this one what don t you like the color?"
"It's not the color Abhi , I don't really like my. . um. . stretch marks." She sighed looking into his brown eyes.
"Do you know how beautiful you are. Look at you c'mon babe." He turned around to face the mirror again. His mouth pressed to the shell of your ear before speaking again.
"These marks, that you seem so worried about" he muttered while his fingers traveled to the translucent lines. "They mean that you had an amazing, beautiful baby girl. You gave me, us, that baby. You should be so incredibly proud of them. I love them because they represent our love and our journey so please, pick what bathing suit you like, and lets try to get excited to go to Bermuda just the two of us."
One month later you proudly wore a bathing suit while holding hands with Abhimanyu , walking down the beach and enjoying your stay
