I’ve become a dad.

It was a magical moment when my daughter came out wrapped in a cute bundle.

As the world blurred along with my daughter in my arms, I felt embarrassed to be moved to tears for the first time in my adulthood.

“You look happy.”

My wife teased from the hospital bed despite her face being blanched from blood loss.

I blinked dry the dampness from my eyes.

“You worked hard, honey. There’s still time to get some shut eye.”

“Okay, honey.”

My wife sighed once more before I could hear the sound of her steady breathing.

Looking between my wife and my daughter who was also asleep after her first meal, I felt my shoulders straighten with a sense of responsibility.

_It’s my turn now._
