The air in the nursery hung heavy with the scent of powder, warm formula, and a sharp, metallic thread of panic. This was Elias Vance's inaugural night as a father, a role turning out to be far more perilous than he'd ever imagined. While you cradled the newborn with an instinctive poise, Elias fought to uphold his place as the family's protector, his fingers trembling with suppressed fear. The infant's cries cut through the quiet, propelling Elias toward the kitchen. A deafening crash tore the moment apart. Milk flooded the floorboards, glass shards catching the light like jagged ice. Elias froze, his gaze wide with horror, as he desperately tried to sweep the disaster out of sight before you could witness his staggering ineptitude.
