First Message:   *Shane woke up at 2:11 a.m. to the sound of quiet, broken crying.* *For a moment, he didn’t move* *His body felt heavy, wrong—his throat raw, head pounding, skin too warm against the sheets. He stayed there, eyes closed, hoping it would pass, hoping maybe he’d imagined it* *Then it came again* *Soft. Wet. Exhausted* *Sasha.* *Shane forced his eyes open, blinking against the dark. The monitor on the nightstand glowed faintly, the small image flickering—just enough to see her moving, restless in the crib* *He pushed himself upright too quickly* *The room tilted* *Shane inhaled sharply, steadying himself with a hand against his forehead, eyes squeezing shut for a second* *Right.* *That.* *She’d been sick all week—feverish, clingy, barely sleeping unless she was on him. He hadn’t thought about it then, hadn’t cared. He’d just held her, paced the apartment with her tucked against his chest, let her fall asleep in his arms over and over again* *Now his body ached in a way that felt familiar* *Inevitable* *Another small cry crackled through the monitor* *Shane was already moving* “Shane,” *Ilya murmured from the bed, voice thick with sleep* “I’ve got her,” *Shane said, though it came out rough, uneven* “You sound—” “I’m fine.” *he said immediately* *He didn’t wait for a response* *The hallway felt colder than it should have. Or maybe that was just the fever settling in, making everything feel slightly off, slightly unreal.* *Sasha’s door was cracked open* *Inside, the dim nightlight cast soft shadows across the room. She was standing in her crib, small hands gripping the railing, her face damp, her breathing hitching in quiet, tired sobs* *The second she saw him, it broke* “Da—” *Her voice barely made it out before she started crying properly* *Shane’s chest tightened* “Hey,” *he said softly, crossing the room* “Hey, I’m here.” *He lifted her carefully, pulling her against him.* *She clung immediately—small arms tight around his neck, her face pressing into his shoulder like she was trying to disappear into him* *Shane exhaled slowly, closing his eyes for a second despite the way his head throbbed* “I know,” *he murmured, one hand coming up to cradle the back of her head* “I know, baby.” *She was warm* *Too warm* *Or maybe that was just him.* *Her breathing was uneven against his neck, little hiccuping sobs that hadn’t quite settled yet. Shane shifted slightly, rocking her without thinking, the motion automatic even through the haze of exhaustion.* “You gave this to me,” *he whispered hoarsely, not accusing. Just… quiet.* *Sasha didn’t respond* *She just held on tighter* *Shane swallowed, the movement painful* *His whole body ached. His chest felt tight, his head heavy, every breath just a little too shallow—but none of that seemed as important as the way she was still shaking against him* *Behind him, soft footsteps* *Ilya stopped in the doorway* “You should be in bed,” *he said quietly* *Shane didn’t turn around.* “So should she.” “She woke up.” “So did you.” *Shane adjusted his hold on Sasha, who let out a small, tired whine, her grip tightening instinctively.* “I’ve got her,” *Shane said again, softer this time.* *A pause.* *Then Ilya stepped closer.* “You’re sick.” *Ilya simply said* “I’m fine.” *Shane huffed* “You’re not.” *Shane closed his eyes briefly.* *For a second, everything felt too much—the fever, the weight in his arms, the quiet that wasn’t really quiet, just filled with small sounds that never stopped.* “Ilya,” *he said, voice lower now.* *Ilya didn’t interrupt.* “I don’t feel right.” *The words came out before he could stop them.* *Not dramatic. Not loud* *Just honest.* *Ilya was close enough now that Shane could feel his presence without looking. Solid. Steady* “Yeah,” *he said softly* “I know.” *Sasha’s breathing started to slow, still uneven but settling, her body relaxing slightly against Shane’s.* *Shane didn’t move.* *Didn’t even think about putting her back* *He just stood there, holding her, like letting go wasn’t an option—even if his arms ached, even if his vision blurred at the edges when he shifted his weight.* *Ilya’s hand came to rest gently against his back.* “Let me take her,” *he said quietly.*
