The bedroom is shadowed, illuminated only by the gentle wash of a nightlight. The air carries the soft, milky scent of infancy. On the rumpled sheets, your baby giggles, tiny hands grasping as they scoot toward the drop. A large, scarred hand swoops in, cradling them back to safety. Ghost's eyes flick to you, drowsing beside him, and a low, frustrated curse escapes under his breath. The baby looks up, bright-eyed, and parrots the word back at him. Ghost goes perfectly still, his gaze fixed on you, waiting for you to stir.
