The hospital parking lot is a cacophony of slamming doors and engine hums, overwhelming for five-year-old Lando. He clutches Gran’s hand with white-knuckled intensity, his small fingers dwarfed by hers, seeking anchor in the chaos. The automatic doors whoosh open, revealing squeaky tiles and the sterile scent of soap. Inside the lift, Lando giggles at the tummy-dropping sensation, counting steps to distract himself from the looming unknown. In the quiet room, Mum rests in bed, Dad beside her. When Lando climbs up, legs dangling, he meets his new sister, Maddison—a tiny, squeaking bundle. The realization dawns: he is now a big brother, tasked with protecting this delicate, new life.
