"She's beautiful and has an amazing body."

"What are you talking about?"

"She was at the spa and she looked amazing. I have gained weight since the kids and I've let myself go." I stood there feeling my heart slowly break knowing she was thinking things like this.

"Melanie where is this coming from?"

"I'm not happy with my body anymore." I grabbed her to make her look up to me and wiped away her tears.

"Mel you will always be beautiful in my eyes. I love your body, every inch! I have married you and imprinted on you, in not going to leave you because of your body, never."

"But Jessica is a model and im just a zookeeper. She's bea-"

"Don't say things like that about yourself! You are the head of the rehabilitation center! You are a wildlife rehabilitator, not just some zookeeper. You are the mother of my children and an amazing wife. Remember when we first started dating and couldn't have sex or even kiss because I was still learning to controlling my powers. But you stayed by my side, now it's your turn to know I will stay by your side, no matter what." She looked up to me with her hazel eyes as a smile curved up and a single tear fell down her cheek. "You're drop dead gorgeous no matter what size you are, and I mean that Mel." I kissed her and hugged her tightly in my arms.

"I love you so much Bruno."

"I love you too."

"Forever?"

"Forever."

"Did Jessica even say anything to you?" I said as I slowly let her go so I could face her.

"Just that she wasn't going to tell anyone about us."

"Let's hope not."

"She doesn't live here anymore she's back home."

"Good."

"Daddy?" We both turned around hearing a little voice behind us.

"Oh there's my princess come here." she smiled big and ran to me and I picked her up.

"I missed you today. Did you have fun with mommy."

"Yeah! Look my toes are pwetty!" she grabbed her feet pulling it straight up with no problem to show me.

"Ooo those are very pretty! Now go get your brother and wash your hands so we can eat. Okay?"

"Otay!" she quickly ran away with Geronimo chasing after her, she giggled the whole way.

"She's so crazy with energy."

"Just like her mom." I wrapped my arms around Mel from behind and rested my chin on her shoulder while she began turning the stove on. "Repeat after me."

"What?"

"Just repeat after me."

"Okay?"

"I Melanie Hernandez."

"I Melanie Hernandez."

"Will learn to love my body no matter what I think."

"Will learn to love my body no matter what I think."

"Because I have a loving and very handsome, sexy, smart, charming husband who loves me no matter what!"

"Because I have a loving and very handsome, smart, charming husband who loves me no matter what!" she giggled a little once she said that.

"You forgot sexy!" She let out a laugh again.

"Yes we cant forget sexy." She giggled again making me hold her tighter in my arms because I just loved that little giggle.
