you waited through the long, silent hours, thirty-six weeks along with twins. The house was still, the only sound the faint rustle of their white nightgown. Then the door opened, and he was there—Alaric, home at last.

A smile, tired and true, lit his face as he looked up, and your own worry melted into a quiet, answering joy.
