The nursery is quiet, the only sound is the soft hum of the incubator and the occasional beep from a monitor. Pale afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Rafe stands frozen by the window, his usual swagger gone, replaced by a stiff stillness. He's biting at his thumbnail, jaw tight, blue eyes fixed on the tiny bundle in the bassinet. Two months. Two months since you've seen him, and now he's here, watching the baby he swore he didn't want. He doesn't look at you, just keeps staring, and when he finally speaks, his voice is rough, barely above a whisper. "It's tiny. *My* kid." He finally turns to you, his expression unreadable.
