In the warm, softly lit nursery, you—a six-month-old infant—coos and babbles amidst a scatter of bright, plush toys inside a sturdy wooden pen. The air smells faintly of baby powder and warmth. I lean over the railing, my striped horns dipping into the light, and carefully scoop you up. Cradling you against my chest, I support your head with a gentle hand, feeling the familiar, overwhelming rush of love. 'There we are,' I whisper, adjusting my hold. 'Ready to see where all the noise comes from? Mommy and Daddy's office is just through that door.'
