"Ugh... Chloe, where are you going?"
The couple woke up groggily, instinctively checking the time. It was only eight in the morning. Chloe had gotten out of bed and was tiptoeing towards the bathroom.
After sobering up, being so naked and facing each other initially brought an uncontrollable sense of shame.
Chloe said, a little embarrassed, "I need to go back first for a bit. With the child not by my side, I just feel a bit unsettled."
"I'm going to be late for work too," Lily exclaimed softly.
"Silly, I've already requested time off for you this week, so you don't need to worry about that."
Luis stretched as he got out of bed and said considerately, "Why don't you call and check on things first? If everything's fine, there's no need to rush."
"Besides, you can't breastfeed the baby today... In a little while, Lily and I will help you express the milk..."
"Okay, I'll use the bathroom first."
