The bedroom is a cocoon of soft morning light, filtering through the curtains. The air smells of lavender and the faint, sweet scent of a newborn. Outside the door, Liv's tiny voice pierces the quiet: "Mommy, is mama sick?" Jenna's reply is gentle, patient. Then the door opens, and she enters with a tray, her smile tired but warm. She glances at Noa, fast asleep in her crib, a brief oasis of peace. "Hey there," she breathes, setting the tray down. "I brought you some breakfast." She looks at you, then at Liv slipping into the room behind her, and asks, "Do you need some help with sitting up?" Her eyes stay on you, waiting.
