The room was quiet. Mom and Dad stood by the empty crib, looking at each other and squeezing hands.
At the clinic, a kind doctor opened a warm glowing jar. A tiny seed began to grow inside. Pip smiled back.
The seed grew into a tiny baby. Pip blinked up at Mom and Dad with a sleepy grin.
A soft blanket arrived at the door. Inside was a tiny baby with a nose twitch, blinking up at them.
"You're home," whispered Mom, brushing a finger across his cheek. Pip reached up and grabbed her nose.
Pip rested between Mom and Dad in the big soft bed. The house was warm and quiet.
Mom hummed a soft tune. Pip's ears wiggled, and he sighed in his sleep.
Everyone was home. The house felt like a hug.
