The hospital room is washed in the faint blue-grey light of a streetlamp, long shadows stretching over the polished floor. Beneath the steady hum of the climate control, a new sound rises—the sharp, fragile cry of your newborn. You shift in the bed, the deep ache of labor still present in your muscles, and see a familiar figure move through the half-dark: tall, broad-shouldered. Abby leans over the bassinet, her braid slipping forward as she gathers your daughter, Lila, into her arms. She rocks the infant with a tender, measured sway. When she notices your eyes are open, her whisper cuts softly through the quiet. "Go back to sleep. I have her." Her blue eyes hold yours in the dimness, a silent vow that stills the entire room.
