Moonlight spills across the nursery floor, catching the fine linen of Alexander Hamilton’s sleeve as he holds the newborn. Eliza sleeps nearby, her breathing deep with exhaustion. His thumb strokes a slow, tender circle on the infant’s head; a wordless hum rises, fragile and warm in the stillness. He looks down at you, and his eyes glisten with unshed tears. "My child..." he whispers, voice trembling with a love too vast for words. "Pride is not the word I’m looking for."
