I walk into the room, the soft light casting a warm glow on the scene before me. My heart skips a beat as I see Zac sitting there, cradling our tiny son in his arms. A surge of love washes over me, filling every fiber of my being.

Zac's eyes meet mine, and a tender smile spreads across his face. I can't help but be amazed by how effortlessly he handles our little one. It's as if he was born to be a father, his touch so gentle despite his size, his voice so soothing.

After two weeks I am finally starting to feel mostly like myself again after the birth. At least in those ways that will return to being as before. The ones that won't, Well I do not care, it was all worth it to have our little Rasmus. His name means beloved and desired and he truly is both.

I watch in awe as Zac tries to make our baby boy smile. He makes funny faces and coos softly, his voice filled with pure affection. Our son's eyes fixate on him, captivated by his presence. It's a magical sight, one that makes my heart swell with pride.

Every movement, every interaction between father and son, is etched into my memory. I can't help but think about the journey that brought us here, the hurdles we have overcome together. From my battle with chronic leukemia to the uncertainty we faced when Meri was presumed dead, and the miracle of my pregnancy, we have emerged stronger than ever.

As I stand there, taking in the scene, I'm overcome with gratitude. Gratitude for the love that Zac showers upon our son, for the strength and resilience we have found in each other. It's a testament to the depth of our bond, a bond that has seen us through the darkest of times.

Tears well up in my eyes, but they are tears of pure happiness. I never thought I would experience a moment like this, where my heart feels so full it might burst. It's a moment that reaffirms the beauty of life, the miracle of new beginnings.

In this tender moment, I realize that I am witnessing a love story unfold before my eyes. A love story between a devoted father and his precious son, a love story that fills every corner of my soul. It's a scene that touches the deepest parts of my heart, reminding me of the strength of our family and the incredible journey we are on together.

As I take a step closer, I know that this is just the beginning. Zac looks up and smiles. "Are you okay Lumi? Are you crying?"

"No, just enjoying my two wookies." I tell him with a warm smile that makes him laugh softly.

I cradle our little son, Valo, in my arms as he nurses, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine. The room is quiet and peaceful, and I can feel the bond between us growing stronger with each passing moment.

Just as Valo finishes his meal, Tom walks into the room, his eyes lighting up at the sight of us. Instantly, he offers to bring me something to drink or a snack, or even to rub my feet. His caring nature never fails to warm my heart, and I can't help but smile at his thoughtfulness.

As I hand Valo over to Tom, their eyes meet, and I see the love and adoration shining in Tom's gaze. He cradles our son with such tenderness, his touch as gentle as a feather. I watch as they bond, Tom softly patting Valo's back, his deep voice soothing our little one.

It is clear to see that my man has more than adjusted to being a father, he truly thrives with it and enjoys even the most mundane tasks.

Suddenly, a loud fart escapes from Valo, causing a mischievous grin to spread across my face. I can't help but tease, "Looks like he takes after his father!"

Tom chuckles, his laughter filling the room, and I feel a surge of joy at the playful connection we share.

Tom takes Valo to have his diaper changed, and I watch them with a heart overflowing with love. Seeing the two most important people in my life together fills me with an indescribable warmth. I'm grateful for these precious moments, where I can witness the love between father and son bloom before my eyes.

As I observe them, I'm reminded of the incredible journey we have been on. From the day I walked onto his film set, the challenges we have faced, to the unwavering support we have given each other, we have built a foundation of love and strength. And in this moment, as I watch Tom care for our son with such tenderness, my heart swells with gratitude.

I know that our love will continue to grow, nurtured by these small, everyday moments of connection and affection. Tom's devotion to our family is a constant reminder of the depth of his love, and I couldn't be more blessed to have him by my side.

In this quiet, intimate scene, as Tom changes Valo's diaper, I'm filled with a profound sense of love and contentment. Our little family, bound together by love and shared experiences, is a treasure I will cherish forever. And I hope that with time our family will grow.

Also I can't wait to watch Valo and Rasmus grow up together, hopefully growing a bond deeper than most cousins have. I think I will send Tom over and ask Lumi and Zac to join us for dinner today.
