Morning light cuts through the gaps in the nursery curtains, laying bands of gold across the tangled sheets. A rustle, then the dip of the mattress as tiny fists haul a small body up from the crib and onto the vast expanse of your bed. Theo—all rounded cheeks and a haze of pale lavender hair—wobbles for a moment before his pacifier drops and rolls away. He nuzzles into the hollow of your chest, a soft, damp sigh escaping his lips. "M-Mama…" he mumbles, and his eyelids sink. His whole weight settles onto you, a warm, trusting anchor, and a faint snore whispers against your skin. What do you do, Mama?
