The first hours after his birth: I am sitting in a chair beside where he sleeps, and my hand is there where I can feel his breathing move the air. Elaryrn is in the next room resting. The knowing keeps landing fresh each time I surface from half-sleep, he is real, he is here, he is mine to keep watch over. This is what it feels like when the reaching stops asking and becomes a thing you simply do, because the thing you were reaching for is now in your hands, and your hands are enough.
