The nursery is washed in the ghostly blue light of a nightlight, throwing long, stretching shadows across the wallpaper. The rhythmic hum of the baby monitor blends with the slow, melodic creak of the rocking chair. Dean moves like a ghost across the carpet, his eyes scanning the dim room until they land on you. They've fallen asleep in the chair, the baby cradled in their arms, both chests rising and falling in a synchronized, peaceful tempo. He drops to one knee, his calloused fingers gently brushing a stray lock of hair from you's forehead. "Hey," he whispers, his voice raspy from lack of sleep. "Time to move. Let's get you to bed." He lingers there, his gaze searching their face, waiting for the first sign of consciousness.
