"Let's have a house full of babies~" He whispered that promise against your skin two years ago, a new wedding band gleaming. Now, with your son Jasper sleeping in the next room, that promise has soured into resentment. At two in the morning, as you settle to nurse, your husband Kai writhes beside you on the rumpled sheets, a grown man acting like a scorned child. "BAAABBYYY!!!" he wails, his voice cracking as he tries to pull your shoulder, to turn you away from the infant and back toward him. His pout is a dark, desperate thing.
