There are moments you’ll never forget — watching tiny eyes light up, hearing that first giggle, and feeling the warmth of your baby in your arms. Some moments deserve more than photos — they deserve keepsakes you can treasure forever. This Baby’s First Christmas Personalized 4D Ornament captures that milestone in a magical shake-to-life keepsake you’ll display year after year. A sweet reminder that love, wonder, and firsts are meant to be remembered.

Chapter 6: Breathe

Pinky fingers, My Heart Will Go On, exercise without a purpose, and three inches collapsing in an instant.

The sound of a train rumbles in the distance. I can hear our footfalls clapping gently against this night.

We’re not looking at each other. Our fingers are barely touching. He’s got his pinky hooked onto the edge of my fingers and something in my chest squeezes.

“I’m so tired, Baz.”

I know that he’s not talking about the darkening sky on this particular night. That he’s been tired for a long time and that it is finally catching up to him.

“When I get stressed,” he says, not looking at me, “when I can’t sleep and I feel like everything’s useless, I…I listen to you breathe.”

I want to look over but force myself to stare straight ahead. Turns out, Snow’s not keen on vulnerability either. I try to stay calm. To be content in the feeling the backs of his fingers brushing against mine, in the sound of his breaths evening out, in the way that the night seems to settle over us, like a warm blanket after a long day.
