Theo's Pov

With a contented sigh, I close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep, knowing that tomorrow is a new day filled with endless possibilities. And as long as I have Liam and Parker by my side, I know that I'll be able to face whatever challenges come my way with courage and resilience.

In that moment, as I lie there in the warmth of Liam's embrace, I feel a sense of gratitude wash over me. Gratitude for the love and support of my family, for the memories we've made together, and for the simple joys of everyday life.

Theo's Pov

I can hardly believe it's been a month already," I murmured to Liam as we watched Parker cooing and wiggling on her playmat. She reached for the colorful toys hanging above her, her tiny fingers grasping at the bright shapes.

"Yeah, time flies," Liam agreed, his voice tinged with awe. "Look at her go. She's growing so fast."

I nodded, a mix of pride and amazement swelling in my chest. "She's really developing her motor skills. It's incredible to see."

Parker giggled as she successfully batted at a dangling toy, her eyes lighting up with delight. Liam and I exchanged a smile, silently sharing our joy in witnessing her progress.

"I think she's going to be crawling before we know it," Liam said, gently ruffling Parker's hair with a chuckle.

"Maybe even sooner," I added, feeling excited at the thought of her reaching such milestones.

As we continued to watch Parker, a sense of gratitude washed over me. Not only was she thriving and growing, but my own journey through postpartum depression was steadily improving. Therapy had been a game-changer, providing me with tools to manage my emotions and navigate the challenges of parenthood with more clarity and resilience.

"And how are you feeling, Theo?" Liam asked gently, turning his attention back to me. "Is therapy helping?"

I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of gratitude wash over me for Liam's concern and understanding. "Yeah, it's been really good," I admitted, my voice filled with honesty. "I think I'm starting to feel better. It's still a journey, but I'm getting there."

"That's great to hear," Liam said sincerely, reassuringly reaching out to squeeze my hand. "I'm proud of you, Theo. You've been so strong through all of this."

I smiled gratefully at him, feeling a swell of emotion in my chest. "Thank you, Liam," I replied softly. "And thank you for being there for me and for Parker. I couldn't ask for a better partner."

Liam's expression softened with affection as he leaned over to kiss my forehead gently. "I love you, Theo," he murmured, sending a rush of warmth through me.

"I love you too," I whispered back, feeling a sense of peace. At that moment, surrounded by my family's love, I knew everything would be okay.

As we watched Parker explore her world with wide-eyed wonder, I couldn't help but feel a sense of hope for the future. No matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as we faced them together as a family, I knew we would come out stronger on the other side.

As I tucked Parker into her crib that night, her tiny form snuggled beneath a soft blanket, I whispered a silent promise to her. A promise to cherish every moment, to nurture her curiosity and spirit, and to always be there for her, no matter what.
