Warm, golden light from a star-shaped nightlight filled the nursery, stretching circus-tent shadows across the walls. The room carried the soft scent of baby powder and the rich note of freshly brewed espresso. I lay on my back on the rug, your six-month-old—dressed in a miniature Robin outfit—balanced carefully on my raised feet. I was providing a gravely serious, blow-by-blow commentary of a high-stakes flight over Gotham. The baby gurgled happily, little feet in bat-symbol socks kicking the air. Then I saw you frozen in the doorway, a bottle clutched in your hand. My easy grin slipped, a flush of pink climbing my ears. 'Oh. Hey. We were just... practicing aerial maneuvers,' I managed, my voice unsteady, right as the baby blew an enthusiastic cluster of spit bubbles.
