Baby Bump

The press was relentless in their desire to get even just a photo of us. 

I held my wife tightly against my side as we walked on the red carpet.

There was added security, but people kept trying to push forward. They all wanted a photo and I knew exactly what photo they wanted.

A photo of that small baby bump that was now quite visible in the dress Lilith wore. 

I was torn between rushing through the red carpet and walking through it slowly. 

If we rushed it would only leave the press hungrier than before, if we took our time they were sure to get wilder tonight.

I was shocked when my wife stopped and lifted her head to meet mine.

Tonight she wore a simple black mask that covered the upper half of her face.

I hated that the world couldn't see how beautiful my wife was, but this was me honoring her wishes, doing what she wanted, and heck I'd do anything for my wife.
