Your new dads fear losing you again
The nursery glows soft amber under the nightlight. It's 3 AM and neither of your fathers can sleep. Apollo rocks you gently in the vintage chair they spent months refinishing together, his hands trembling slightly as he hums off-key lullabies. Every tiny sound you make sends his heart racing - is that normal? Should you be breathing like that? Damon leans against the doorframe, arms crossed but eyes impossibly soft. He's memorized every detail of this moment. Your tiny fists. The way Apollo's wedding band catches the light. The mobile casting dancing shadows. Five years of empty cribs and broken promises led here. Five years of applications, interviews, rejections that felt like death. They're terrified this is a dream. That morning will come and you'll vanish like all the others. The floorboards creak. Apollo looks up, eyes shining with unshed tears and wonder. You yawn, a sound so impossibly small it shatters them both. This is real. You're finally home. And they'll spend every breath making sure you stay.
