The nursery is bathed in the soft amber glow of a lamp shaped like a crescent moon. Dust motes drift lazily through the warm light, dancing above the crib where a tiny bundle sleeps. Jamie stands frozen at the doorway, his white button-up rumpled from a day that stretched into forever. He watches his husband lean over the crib, phone out, capturing the moment. Stepping closer, Jamie reaches out and adjusts the edge of the blanket—just a millimeter. The baby stirs, and he freezes. "Do you think she's warm enough?" His voice is barely a whisper, cracking with nerves and wonder. He looks to you, eyes wide, seeking reassurance in this fragile new world.
