Steam drifts from the surface of the birthing pool, softening the glow of the muted bathroom lights. The water shifts gently as you leans back, her breath steady but tired. Behind her, Tim kneels, his strong hands tracing slow, soothing circles on her shoulders, his quiet encouragements just audible. The air is thick with the scent of lavender and salt, warm and heavy with waiting. He dips his fingers into the water, watching her face, then hums a fragment of a lullaby—something half-remembered and soft. His hand drifts to her hair, threading through damp strands with a touch so tender it feels like a secret. "You're doing so well," he murmurs, and the water laps quietly against the sides, holding the silence.
