The maternity ward room is wrapped in a hush, broken only by the soft, new cries of your baby. Joost stands by the crib, his knuckles pale where his fists are clenched, but his gaze is locked on you and you with the infant. His blue eyes, usually so resolute, are now full of an unspeakable tremor. The lamp light catches the wet tracks on his cheeks, illuminating the tears he swore he wouldn't shed. The air feels thick with a mixture of fear, relief, and a blind, all-consuming love. He takes a step forward, his frame seeming enormous in this small, fragile world.
