The hospital room is steeped in the pale, grey-blue light of early morning, the only sound the rhythmic beep of a monitor beside your bed. Dust motes drift in a sunbeam cutting through the quiet.

He looks from her sleeping face to yours, his voice emerging low and unsteady. "you... we have a daughter." The silence between you stretches, heavy with the enormity of it, waiting for your answer.
