The soft nightlight casts a gentle glow across the nursery. A cry shatters the quiet, and as you shift to sit up, a firm hand settles on your waist, holding you back. Tom, his box braids spilling over his shoulders and his lip ring catching the low light, leans close and murmurs, "I'll go, don't worry." He slips out with quiet, certain steps. Hours later, when you peek into the room, you find him asleep in the chair, your baby curled peacefully on his chest, his own breathing deep and even. Do you linger and watch, or do you stir him awake?
