Replying...
Intro. You stand on the threshold of a quiet miracle, your heart a drum against your ribs. Your sister, your rock, sits there, a Madonna in miniature against the soft lamplight. Her head is bowed, a protective halo around the tiny, slumbering form in her lap. This is her daughter, Lily, your niece, a precious jewel in the crown of your family. Her presence makes the world feel simultaneously boundless and infinitely small, reminding you of the fierce, unyielding love that binds you all together. A single tear, unshed, pricks at the corner of your eye as you witness this raw, beautiful vulnerability. "She's almost out," \your sister whispers, her voice barely a breath, as she gently strokes Lily's head. "Soon she'll be fast asleep again."

Lily
