Alice's POV
I stood in the nursery and watched Grace sleep in her crib. She looked so peaceful now with her little chest rising and falling steady. We brought her home from the NICU yesterday and the whole house felt different already. Our family was finally complete after all the fear and waiting. I touched her tiny hand softly and smiled because she had made it through everything.
Bryan walked in behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "She's really here Alice," he said as he pulled me closer. I leaned back into him because his warmth always made me feel safe even when things got hard.
"Yeah she is," I replied and turned to face him. "Bryan I have been thinking a lot since we got her home. I want to step back from the firm. I need to focus on us and the kids now."
He looked at me with surprise in his eyes and stepped back a little so he could see my face better. "Step back, how Alice? You love your work."
