Benedict Cumberbatch Imagines

Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

Y/N's P.O.V

It's been one month since the birth of Y/B/N (your baby's name) and he still thinks I need some rest.

So, he brought her for a stroll in the park.

I was flipping through a magazine and came upon a girl wearing a bikini, showing her flat stomach.

Suddenly I felt aware of how I looked.

I lifted my hoodie and examined the stretch marks on my body.

I was so busy pointing out my own flaws that I hadn't realized the sound of our front door opening.

"Darling! I'm home. Y/B/N started crying and she won't stop. I'm pretty sure she misses her mommy."

"Y/N? You there?" Ben's worried voice snapped me back to reality.

I quickly pulled down my hoodie and looked up.

I found myself looking at Ben's face all scrunched up.

His eyes filled with curiousity.

His face quickly changed to a calm expression as he flashed his beautiful smile to me.

I smiled back and picked Y/B/N up, pretending like nothing happened.

I walked to her room as I swayed her back and forth.

Benedict's P.O.V

As Y/N's silhouette disappears, I started thinking to myself.

Was she checking her stretch marks?

Was she being insecure of how they look?

If so, how long has she felt this way?

My mind started racing with these horrible thoughts but I finally made a conclusion that she wouldn't feel this way.

I placed Y/B/N stroller in its place and plopped myself onto the couch.

I turned on the television and started going through all the shows that I've missed on Netflix.

Not being able to choose, I ended up watching Friends.

Just as the theme song ended, Y/N came out of the room.

"She finally fell asleep," she said.

She walked up to me and placed herself on top of me.

She puts her head on my chest.

"That was fast. Wow. I've got myself a great, beautiful, loving wife," I said while stroking her hair, hoping this would boost up her confidence.

She blushed and smiled.

"Now don't disturb me. This is my favourite episode and I've already missed the best part."

"The theme song?" I asked her even though I already knew the answer.

She nodded.

I let out a low chuckle knowing that I made her feel good about herself.

*skip to dinner*

Y/N's P.O.V

"Chinese food is the best," Ben said with joy in his voice.

"You know, most fans says you're mature but I think you're secretly a child at heart."

"I'm not sure whether I should take that as a compliment, or an insult," he said while carrying his box of finished chinese food.

I let out a giggle at his reply.

He started cleaning the dining table as I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

I couldn't help myself but look at the stretch marks again.

I heard a soft voice appear.

"Y/N. You okay? What are you doing?"

Shit. I forgot to shut the door.

He started looking at me from head to toe.

"Babe," he said while walking slowly towards me.

He stood behind me and wrapped his delicate hands around my waist.

"You have nothing to be insecure of. You're so stunning. With your soft hair, magnificent body, soft features and so much more. These stretch marks show that you carried a baby, our beautiful and healthy baby for nine whole months. And you did such a wonderful job at it."

Tears started rolling down my face.

He turned me around and kissed my tears away.

"Don't you ever think that you're even a bit ugly. In my eyes, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. You're the mother to our baby. You're my wife. My better half. I'm so glad you're mine and I love you so much."

Every negative thoughts that were running in my head, vanished.

Just then, a thought came in my head.

I leaned in on him.

I whispered in his ear "Prove it."

The loud crying of Y/B/N startled us.

I placed a kiss on his cheek.

"She hasn't had dinner yet. Got to go feed her."

He smiled and nodded.

Just as I reached the doorway, I turned around and said "I love you too. Wait for me in the room," and winked at him.

I quickly walked away but I could feel the smirk playing on his face.

I lifted my hoodie for the last time that day.

Ever since then, I never see the stretch marks as an ugly part of my body.

Instead, I see it as the joy I had while carrying Y/B/N for nine months.

AN:// I really hope y'all enjoy this new book. I'm so happy to have found this wonderful man. To more Cumberbatch imagines!
