Celeste finally opened her eyes. She felt a little better now that the anesthesia had worn off. Her incision still hurt, but overall, she was okay. As she stirred, she realized that Peter had fallen asleep with his head resting on her hand. His curly hair tickled her fingers, which had gone slightly numb from the weight. Carefully, she slid her

She took a moment to admire the man beside her. His face boked peaceful, relaxed–without the usual furrowed brows he had while sleeping. Today, he seemed at ease. She smiled softly and reached out, gently running her fingers through his thick curls.

The moment he felt her touch, he grinned. Celeste noticed and quickly pulled her hand away, but without opening his eyes, Peter grabbed it and placed it back on his head.

“Keep going… I was enjoying that,” he murmured.

Celeste let out a small laugh and continued playing with his hair for a few more minutes. Then, a light knock on the door made them both turn toward the entrance.

The nurse who had been attending to them walked in, carrying a breast pump.

“Good morning, sleepyheads! I hope these new parents got some rest. I’m here to check on this beautiful mama,” she said, smiling warmly.

“Good morning! When can I see my babies?” Celeste asked kindly.

Celeste chuckled lightly.

“Alright, I need you to uncover your chest. I’ll show you how to massage yourself first, and then we’ll use this pump for now. Your little ones don’t need much milk yet, so don’t worry if it seems like a small amount. That first milk is essential for them.”
