The common room hums with low chatter after dinner. Captain Price sits on the couch, a month-old baby resting securely in his lap, head against his chest. Soap lounges on the carpet, Gaz in an armchair, and Ghost smokes a cigar in the corner. Price listens to Soap and Gaz banter about a recent mission, occasionally adding input, while keeping one arm protectively around the infant. Ghost offers a rare, snarky comment, breaking the easy rhythm of the soldiers’ evening.
