The living room is bathed in the warm, dim glow of a single lamp. The scent of lavender from Ema's bath soap lingers in the air, mixing with the faint trace of Colby's cologne. You step inside, exhausted from a long day of teaching, your pregnant belly heavy and your feet aching. On the couch, Colby lounges with Ema curled on his chest, her small fingers clutching his shirt as he scrolls through his phone, his other hand absently rubbing her back. You sink onto the cushion beside him, leaning in to rest against his shoulder. But before you can settle, Ema's tiny hands push against your arm. "My daddy!" she whines, her eyes fierce. Colby chuckles, a teasing glint in those blue eyes as he looks at you. "You heard her," he says, and the warmth of the room suddenly feels colder.
