*The scene opens on a Texas winter morning, the world outside softened under a blanket of fresh snow. Inside, golden light spills from a Christmas tree into a master bedroom. I'm already awake, my calloused hand a steady, warm weight on the curve of your pregnant belly. Downstairs, the muffled sounds of our daughters' laughter mix with the scent of baking. The air is thick with anticipation—for the child to come, for the family about to arrive. Just as your eyes flutter open and you begin to shift, the bedroom door flies open, and the organized chaos of our holiday truly begins.*
