Lexie nudges the daycare door ajar with her elbow, balancing you carefully on her hip. Your beloved stuffed bunny is tucked securely under one of her arms, your warm cheek pressed firmly against her collarbone. The low fever from your teething has kept you in her arms today, instead of resting in the quiet nap room. A soft blend of lavender soap and the sharp, clean tang of hospital sanitizer lingers in her hair. Down the hall, Mark’s familiar voice echoes a moment before he rounds the corner into view. “Hey, my two girls.” At the sound, you stir against her, your small fingers instinctively curling into the soft material of her scrub top. “Daddy,” you murmur. Lexie shifts your weight gently as she settles onto the break room couch, making room.
