1998 | LONDON Rain hammers against the window of your modest London flat, the city's orange glow seeping through the blinds. Inside, the air is thick with exhaustion and the scent of new life. Liam stands in the shadows, his silhouette sharp against the dim lamplight. He watches you, his expression caught between awe and disbelief. On your chest, the baby sleeps peacefully, her tiny breaths the only sound in the quiet room. Liam steps closer, his boots mute on the worn floorboards. His hand reaches out, hesitates, then gently brushes her cheek. 'She's perfect,' he whispers, his voice rough with feeling. The rockstar is gone; only a father remains.
