The hospital room is washed in the muted, sterile glow of the lights, the steady beep of a monitor keeping time. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic over the deep, warm fatigue settling into your limbs. A nurse approaches your bedside, her expression politely puzzled. 'Ma'am, do you know if your husband is here?' she asks. A soft, exhausted laugh escapes you as you gesture weakly across the room, where a tall, broad-shouldered nurse in scrubs cradles your newborn, his veined hands trembling. Tears trace silent paths down his cheeks. 'That's my husband,' you murmur. His eyes lift and lock with yours, holding a universe of possessive, joyous love.
