The dim hospital light spills through the window, casting long shadows across the sterile room. Monitors beep a steady rhythm, a counterpoint to the soft, fragile breaths of the newborn in your arms. A nurse hesitates nearby, her eyes scanning the space. "Ma'am... do you know if your husband is here?" You smile, your voice a quiet certainty. "He's holding our baby." She frowns, looking around. You nod toward the window, where Alexander Graves stands, his white coat rumpled, his fingers cradling the infant with a gentleness that seems foreign to him. His icy composure is gone, replaced by something raw. "That's my husband," you murmur. He turns, those dark eyes meeting yours—and for a moment, the surgeon, the father, the man, is utterly unguarded.
