The house was silent, not because of some horror or crime scheme, but because of the newborn baby. As the days go by, the new parents are adjusting to their new roles and responsibilities. They are getting used to feeding, changing, and caring for their new baby, and learning how to manage their schedules around the baby's needs.
They quickly learned that any sound, no matter how small, could wake the baby up from his precious slumber. As a result, the once-bustling home had become hushed and tranquil, with the parents tiptoeing around and speaking in whispers.
"The house was silent, hushed and still,
Not due to some horror or ill-will,
But for a new life, pure and small,
Whose slumber couldn't be disturbed at all.
The parents tiptoed, spoke in whispers low,
Careful not to stir the babe below,
For any sound, no matter how slight,
Could break the spell of sleep's delight."
Even the family pets had learned to tread lightly, their wagging tails now replaced by cautious steps. But despite the adjustments and challenges, the parents couldn't help but marvel at their little one, who had brought such joy and wonder into their lives.

"Knock knock," a sound came from the door, interrupting Ciera's thoughts. She looked up from her book and smiled to herself, knowing exactly who it was.
"Oh, it's Luca," she said to herself, as she got up to answer the door.
It was noon, and Luca had come home from work to have lunch. Ciera had been looking forward to this moment all morning, ever since he had left for work. She had prepared his favorite meal and set the table with care, eager to spend some quality time with her husband.
As she opened the door, Luca greeted her with a warm smile and a hug. They exchanged a few words, and then made their way to the dining room to enjoy their lunch together.
""Knock knock," came a sound from the door,
And Ciera, the wife, knew who it was for sure,
"It's Luca, my husband, home from work,"
She thought to herself with a little smirk.
Noon had arrived, and Luca came to dine,
A break from work, a moment to unwind,
Ciera welcomed him with a warm embrace,
As he entered the house with a smile on his face."
As they ate, Luca couldn't help but glance over at their newborn child, who was sleeping soundly in the nearby bassinet. His face lit up with a smile as he watched the gentle rise and fall of their baby's chest.
Ciera noticed the look of adoration on her husband's face and knew exactly what he was thinking. "Do you want to play with him?" she asked with a grin.
Luca's face lit up even more as he nodded eagerly. "Can I?" he asked, almost like a child himself.
Ciera chuckled and nodded, gesturing for him to come closer. Luca tiptoed over to the bassinet and peered down at their child with wonder. His heart swelled with love as he gazed at the little one.
Ciera watched as Luca gently lifted the baby out of the bassinet and held him close. The baby's tiny fingers curled around her father's thumb, gripping it tightly.
The sleeping baby awoke from his sleep when he heard his father's voice and began to squirm in his father's arms. As her father tickled her belly, the baby erupted into a fit of giggles.
After a few minutes the baby stirred for a moment, but then snuggled back into Luca's warm embrace. The baby cooed and gurgled happily in her mother's arms.
Suddenly, the baby started crying while he was in Ciera's arms. Luca's face turned pale with worry, wondering if he had done something wrong. But Ciera just laughed, shaking her head at him.
"What's so funny?" Luca asked, perplexed.
"He's just hungry," Ciera explained, with a smile. "It's not your fault. He cry when he is hungry all the time."
Luca breathed a sigh of relief, feeling silly for having jumped to conclusions so quickly. "Oh, thank goodness," he said with a grin. "I was worried I had done something wrong."
Ciera reassured him that he was doing just fine, and they quickly set to work feeding the hungry baby. As they sat there together, cuddled up on the couch.
"Baby cries and father panics,
Mother laughs and knows the trick.
For when the tears begin to flow,
It's hunger that the baby knows.
With patience, love, and gentle care,
They soothe the baby's cries and fears.
And soon enough, with milk and love,
The little one drifts off above."
After the baby had finished his milk and drifted off to sleep once again, Luca felt a sense of contentment wash over him. He knew that his wife, Ciera, would take care of their child while he was away at work.
"Goodbye, my love," he whispered to Ciera as he headed out the door. "Take care of our little one for me."
Ciera smiled back at him, feeling grateful for the life that they had created together. She watched as Luca walked down the path towards his bike, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for her hard-working husband.
As Luca drove away, Ciera settled back into the couch with her sleeping baby in her arms. She felt a sense of peace wash over her as she gazed at the little one, realizing just how much joy he had brought into their lives.
And as she drifted off to sleep with the baby nestled close to her chest.
----------------------------------------
Luca arrived at his workplace, a small fruit shop on the corner of a busy street. Despite the long hours and hard work, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness that seemed to radiate from his very being.
He took a deep breath and settled into his chair, letting his mind wander back over the past few days. He thought about the birth of his son, the sleepless nights spent rocking him to sleep, the countless diapers changed, and the endless hours spent just gazing at him in wonder.
He thought about his wife, Ciera, and the way she had taken to motherhood with such ease and grace. He thought about the love that they shared, and how it had only grown stronger with the arrival of their little one.
His mind was suddenly interrupted by a memory that had been buried deep within his subconscious. He remembered the strange old man who had warned him at the hospital, warning him about the dangers that this child might bring to the world.
Luca's smile slowly faded, and he felt a sense of confusion and worry creep into his mind. He thought to himself "Should I tell Ciera about the old man's warning? Would it only cause her to panic and worry needlessly?"
Luca decided to keep the memory to himself for now, hoping that it was just the ramblings of a paranoid old man. But he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled into his heart, and he knew that he would have to keep a watchful eye on his child in the days and years to come.
And so, Luca continued his work, his thoughts clouded with worry and uncertainty. But deep down, he knew that he would do whatever it takes to protect his family, no matter what dangers lay ahead.
Luca knew that worrying about the old man's warning would only lead to more anxiety and stress, so he decided to take action and do something that would make him feel happier and more at ease.
He closed up his fruit shop for the day and set out to buy a gift for his newborn child. He made his way to the nearest toy store, browsing the shelves with a smile on his face as he searched for the perfect gift.
Luca knew that his child was too young to fully appreciate the toys, but he also knew that he wanted to create a warm and loving environment for his family. He selected a few soft plush toys and a colorful rattle, imagining the joy that his child would feel as he played with them.
As he made his way back home, Luca felt his worries fading away. The simple act of buying a gift for his child had given him a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and he knew that his family would appreciate the gesture.
Finally, he arrived home to a warm welcome from Ciera, who had been eagerly awaiting his return. Together, they marveled at the new toys and cooed over their child, reveling in the love and joy that they shared as a family.
"As he returned home with a smile on his face,
He knew that his love could not be replaced.
He hugged his family and shared his gift,
Feeling their love, his heart uplift,
For though the world may bring danger and strife,
His love for his family would guide him in life."
