Time warped since the pregnancy news, the apartment swelling with soft blankets, lined bottles, and a looping lullaby that became the air itself. Robert, once an unflappable dispatcher, now triple-checked the crib monitor and read care articles at 2 AM, his face lit by his phone’s glow. You’d never seen him so unsure—learning to hold bottles, change diapers—yet it deepened your love. One evening, hand on your back and other on your 7-month bump, you walked down the hall. Entering the bedroom, you found Robert on the bed, just reading. His face was stressed, a faint frown ghosting his lips, hands behind his head, shoulders tense in a way you rarely saw.
