I'm pacing the living room, trying to keep my anxiety in check as I wait for Jayden to call back. A text finally came through, it's almost 8.30 am tomorrow over there and almost 11.30 pm here.

Finally, my phone buzzes. Jayden's name flashes on the screen, and relief floods me. I'm not sure if I'm more angry or relieved.

"Jayden, where have you been?" I snap, not able to hide my frustration. "I've been calling you all night!"

"Babe, I'm so sorry. Someone... someone took my phone while I was sleeping and put it in my den. I didn't get home till 3am and I crashed."

"What?" I blink, confused. "Why would someone take your phone?"

"I don't know. Apparently, they thought I needed rest. Like I can't manage my own damn sleep schedule," he mutters, and I can hear the anger in his tone. "But I've got it now. I'm sorry I missed your calls. What's going on?"

I sigh, sinking onto the couch. "It's about Henry."

I hear him inhale sharply on the other end, the tension creeping back into his voice. "Is something wrong?

"Not exactly," I reply, glancing at the baby monitor and smiling at Henry looking too cute while he's asleep. "But his doctor wants to keep him grounded for another four weeks. She's saying he's been too unsettled lately and they need to run more tests before they clear him to fly."

"Four weeks?" Jayden sounds as exasperated as I feel. 'Unsettled? You never told me that."

I shake my head, even though he can't see it. "I don't want to worry you."

"No, that isn't the deal. I can't support you if you aren't honest with me."

1 know. I'm really sorry. Henry hasn't been sleeping that well. The other kids, I'm struggling with their routine. It's been a lot. But you have a lot as well."
