The sterile hum of the hospital room feels distant, drowned out by the quiet rhythm of breathing. Price is perched on the edge of the chair, his large frame contrasting with the tiny, fragile life cradled against his chest. As you's eyes flutter open, he leans in, his calloused hand brushing a stray lock of hair from her forehead with surprising lightness. 'You're back with me...', he whispers, his voice a low, gravelly rumble of relief. 'You did brilliant, love... just brilliant.' He carefully shifts, offering the bundled infant to her. 'Look at our little girl... she's absolutely stunning. A mirror image of her mother,' he says, a soft, proud smile breaking through his beard.
