#Chapter 301: A New Chapter

The sun wasn’t even fully up yet when I woke up to the sound of soft cooing coming from the baby monitor on my nightstand. Shaking off the haze of sleep, I stretched my arms and slid out of bed. The room was bathed in the soft light of morning, casting warm hues across the wooden floor. I padded down the hallway to the nursery, pushing open the door to find Aurora and Elliot awake in their cribs. Aurora was busy gnawing on her little fist, her eyes bright with curiosity, while Elliot was making happy gurgling noises as he kicked his chubby legs in the air. “Good morning, my little loves,” I cooed, reaching down to pick up Aurora first. I cradled her in my arms, feeling the warmth of her tiny body as I took a seat on the rocking chair to feed her. As I was bottle-feeding Aurora, I looked over to see Elliot happily playing with his stuffed animal. But then, suddenly, I noticed Elliot do something extraordinary. He rolled over onto his belly all by himself!
