Anything I wanted or needed…
Except I wanted him.
His presence.
Forever.
Was that really so much for me to ask?
Sleeping felt impossible.
My phone was glued to my hand.
Just in case the hospital called.
Being home without my baby…
I cried more than I wanted to admit.
Hannah left for a little while, then came back.
She wanted to sleep in bed next to me but she snored too much.
It was a little after midnight when I got out of bed and walked around the upstairs.
Room to room.
Wondering what to do with the house.
There was plenty of space for a nursery.
One of the spare bedrooms.
Simple.
Clear it out.
Get a crib and… everything else…
My chest tightened and I felt overwhelmed.
From downstairs I heard the faint echoes of Hannah snoring.
I looked down at my phone.
I need you, Atlas.
Not even a second later, my phone lit up.
A text.
From Atlas.
Not sure if you’re sleeping, love. Thinking about you. Thinking about Juniper Evelyn. I can’t sleep right now. None of this feels right.
I blinked back tears as I read the text.
My fingers touched my phone.
