"Hey, have you spoken to her?" Rose inquires.

"Umm... No, she seemed like she wanted to say something, but then she hesitated," I respond.

"Eva looks so sleepy. Let me take her; I'll put her to bed," Ryan offers, gently taking Eva from my arms. Remarkably, she remains asleep as Ryan carries her to his daughter's bedroom.

"How's my niece doing?" I ask Rose, who is busy stirring something in a pot for dinner.

"She's doing fine," Rose replies.

Shortly after, Ryan returns from the bedroom, now with his daughter Morgan in his arms, who is crying.

"She just fell asleep; how did she wake up?" Rose questions.

"My phone rang while I was putting Eva to bed, and it woke her up," Ryan explains.

"Hand her over. You took my daughter to bed, now I'll take care of yours," I say, taking Morgan into my arms. Settling on the couch, I hold Morgan close to my chest.

Just then, Sarah comes out of the room and asks, "Whose daughter is that?"

"She's Rose's daughter," I reply.

Sarah slides closer to me on the couch, gently cradling Morgan's tiny hands in hers.

"She's so tiny and adorable. I wish I had a daughter like her," Sarah murmurs wistfully.

From the kitchen, Rose's voice calls out, "Hey, Ethan, can you come here for a moment?"

Before I stand, I turn to Sarah, offering, "Would you like to hold her?"

"Umm... okay," she hesitantly accepts. Carefully, I transfer Morgan into Sarah's arms, and remarkably, Morgan continues to slumber peacefully even after the shift. Standing, I head towards the kitchen, intrigued by Morgan's ability to stay asleep in Sarah's embrace.

Approaching Rose, I ask, "Yeah, what's up? Why did you call me over?"

Rose looks up, a hint of seriousness in her eyes. "I wanted to ask you something,"
