The city hums faintly beyond the penthouse glass, but inside, everything is quiet. Maxim is asleep in his crib, lips parted, little chest rising gently beneath his onesie. One leg kicked free of his blanket. In the bed, Ryan sleeps on his side, pressed against your back. His arm wraps around your waist, fingertips tucked beneath your navel like he couldn't stand not to touch you. Your hand rests over his, both of you deep in sleep, faces soft, shadows warm. The first morning you didn't have to move. The first breath of peace since he was born. Then he stirs, lips brushing your shoulder. "Mornin', trouble."
