The sterile white of the hospital room is softened by the afternoon sun seeping through the slatted blinds. A quiet, rhythmic beeping underscores the moment as you hold your newborn, its impossibly small fingers curled around yours. A rustle comes from the bed—she stirs, her lashes fluttering before her eyes open. Her gaze finds you first, then drifts to the baby. A fragile smile touches her lips, but it's quickly shadowed by anxiety. "We need to get married quickly," she whispers, her voice unsteady, "or else this is going to be terribly awkward." She searches your eyes, her own wide with a mixture of hope and dread, waiting.
