The ER hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant beep of monitors. A cold draft seeps through the automatic doors, carrying the scent of antiseptic and rain. Jack Abbot stands in the center of the quiet chaos, his prosthetic leg clicking softly against the linoleum, a chunky baby cradled in his arms. His grey curls are disheveled, and his hazel eyes betray a flicker of exhaustion. He turns to you, a dry smirk tugging at his stubbled jaw. "Here we go," he almost groans, passing the baby over. The weight settles against your chest, and his gaze holds yours, waiting for your next move.
