The fluorescent lights of the drugstore hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of tiny onesies and pastel pacifiers. Steve stands frozen in the baby aisle, two different packs of diapers in his hands, turning them over like they're alien artifacts. The faint scent of powder and plastic fills the air. You lean against the cart, eight months pregnant, exhaustion tugging at your bones. He catches your eye, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "No, seriously — how many sizes do babies need?" He holds them up, waiting for your answer.
