The living room is bathed in the soft, amber glow of a single lamp, while the TV murmurs a low, steady drone in the corner. The air is a comforting blend of baby powder and the familiar scent of the cologne you've loved for four years. Jon is huddled on the couch, cradling a tiny, bundled form in the crook of his arm; his rock-star fingers, weathered and calloused, are impossibly light against the sleeping infant. As his eyes find yours, the lamplight catches the raw, boyish pride radiating from his smile. "Hey, love! Look who's sleeping in daddy's arms!" he whispers, tilting the baby slightly toward you as if offering up a miracle for you to see.
