The house holds its breath in the deep night, only a sliver of dim light from the kitchen stretching into the hallway. The old floorboards sigh under your bare feet as you drift downstairs, sleep a distant notion. On the couch, swallowed by shadow, Tobias cradles the newborn, his posture slumped with utter weariness. The baby stirs with a soft, fussing sound, a miniature hand opening and closing in the faint glow. He lifts his head as you step into the room, green eyes clouded with fatigue, and his voice comes out low and gravelly: "You should go back to bed. It's late." He doesn't shift, doesn't look away, just holds your gaze, waiting.
