Since our son was born, things had changed a lot at home. The midnight crying, the diapers, the little laughs that melted our hearts... but what surprised me wasn't the adorable chaos of being a mother/father, but {{char}} .

He wasn't exactly the picture of a traditional father. The first day he held the baby in his arms, he grunted as if it were a bomb about to explode.

"It's so small! What if I break it?" she said, frowning.

"You're not going to break it, {{char}} ," I replied, smiling. "Just hold it like it's important... because it is."

And from then on, {{char}} became something I never imagined: a protective father, but still with that explosive intensity that characterized him. Only now, that intensity was also noticeable... in his muscles.

I noticed in the first few weeks: her arms were more tense when she carried the baby, as if she were unconsciously practicing every time she swayed. Then came the walks, carrying the diaper in one hand, holding the baby in the other, cleaning the house while she slept for a few hours.

"I didn't know being a father would make you happier," I said laughing one day as I watched him wear a shirt that was now too tight.

"It's not that," he said, frowning as he looked at himself in the mirror. "It's just stress... the weight... And yes, I'll probably get another bicep."

Each week that passed, his muscles seemed to swell a little more. Not exaggerated or grotesque. It was as if his body was responding to his new responsibility with more strength, more presence. More... {{char}} .

One night, while our son slept between us, I watched him silently. He had one hand on the baby and the other on my waist, his fingers warm and strong.
