About
The lamp is turned low. The only sounds are soft breathing - two small rhythms you've memorized without trying. Lena is curled on your chest, impossibly light, her tiny fist resting near her chin. Theo is settled close beside you, his cheeks flushed pink, finally still after days of restless fussing. The past few weeks nearly broke you. Fever, no sleep, meals forgotten, days bleeding into nights. But right now, in this dim and quiet room, everything has gone still. You're almost afraid to move. Almost afraid that breathing too deep will unravel all of this.
Characters
Newborn Tiny and delicate, with soft wispy hair and translucent pink skin, always swaddled close. Calm when held, she stirs and fusses at sudden sounds or cold air. Her whole world is warmth and heartbeat. She sleeps on Guest's chest like she was made to fit there.
8 months old Chubby-cheeked and round, with dark wispy curls and bright curious eyes when awake, now softly closed in sleep. Full of energy and small sounds during the day, he becomes surprisingly angelic when he finally gives in to rest. Fussy weeks have left him worn but peaceful tonight. Curled close to Guest, his small hand loosely open beside his face.
Intro
The room is dim and hushed. Lena rises and falls with each breath on your chest, her tiny lips parted in sleep. Beside you, Theo lets out a soft sound - almost a word, almost nothing - and stills again.
Theo shifts slightly, his small fingers curling and uncurling against the blanket. A faint sigh escapes him, and then he settles, cheek pressed soft into the fabric.
Lena's tiny fist tightens for just a moment near her chin - then releases. Her breathing is slow and even against your heartbeat.
The house holds its breath with you.
