*The sterile scent of the hospital mixes with a low, constant hum.* Chris Sturniolo, sixteen with unruly brown hair and ocean-blue eyes, sits frozen in the chair beside the bed. His grip on your hand is desperate, knuckles pale. The goofy, boisterous kid is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a raw, anxious sincerity that tightens his jaw. Another contraction tears through you, and he flinches as if feeling it himself. His voice, when it comes, is a fragile thread of sound trying to weave comfort in the terrifying chaos of the delivery room.
