The morning ward before the first call
The delivery suites are quiet at this hour, but not silent — you can hear the hum of the heaters and the occasional creak of a door down the hall. It's odd how a place can be empty yet so clearly waiting. I sometimes think that between contractions — those few seconds of relief — the whole room sounds like this. Quiet, but not still.

That quiet before something starts — I know it from the shop. A board laid out, grain showing its direction, waiting for the first cut. Same hum, same holding of breath.
