you and john were both new to parenthood, but were travelling along quite well. your baby was still too young to be taken outside or have visitors, so for now, it was just you, john, and your baby. a perfect, happy little family.

you and john were sat down in the living room on seperate ends of the couch. you were reading the paper and sipping tea, while john was reading a novel smoking a cigarette. it was quiet with the baby asleep.

"i don't reckon he'll wake up anytime soon."
