Third person
As Nick and Charlie emerged from the specialist's office, a heavy silence hung between them, punctuated only by the soft sound of Oakley's breathing as he slept peacefully in Nick's arms.
The weight of the news they had received seemed to press down on them, threatening to crush their spirits beneath its burden.
Nick's steps felt leaden as they made their way back to the car, his mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions.
He couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness that gnawed at his insides, the fear of the unknown casting a dark shadow over their once bright future.
Charlie walked beside him, his expression a mask of anguish as he struggled to come to terms with the reality of Oakley's diagnosis.
He reached out, taking Nick's hand in his own, the simple gesture a silent affirmation of their unbreakable bond.
"We'll get through this, Nick," Charlie said softly, his voice trembling with emotion. "No matter what happens, we'll face it together as a family."
Nick nodded. The warmth of Charlie's touch had a small beacon of hope in the darkness that threatened to consume him. "I know," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "But it's just... so overwhelming."
Charlie squeezed Nick's hand tighter, offering silent reassurance in the face of their shared despair. "We'll take it one step at a time," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil raging within him. "We'll do whatever it takes to give Oakley the best possible chance."
With renewed determination, Nick and Charlie climbed into the car, Oakley nestled between them, his innocent slumber a stark contrast to the storm of emotions swirling around him.
As they drove home, they clung to each other for support, their hearts heavy with the weight of their newfound reality.
Back home, they settled Oakley into his crib, the soft sound of his breathing a soothing balm to their troubled minds.
Nick and Charlie sat on the edge of the bed, their shoulders hunched with the weight of their grief.
"We'll figure this out, Nick," Charlie said quietly, his voice filled with a quiet resolve. "We'll do whatever it takes to help Oakley, no matter what."
Nick nodded, a flicker of determination igniting within him as he met Charlie's gaze. "We'll embrace this journey together," he said, his voice steady despite the uncertainty that loomed ahead. "And we'll make sure Oakley knows just how much he's loved, every step of the way."
With their hearts intertwined in a bond stronger than any obstacle they might face, Nick and Charlie faced the uncertain road ahead with courage, resilience, and unwavering love.
And as they embraced the journey that lay before them, they knew that no matter what challenges awaited them, they would face them together, as a family, united in their commitment to each other and to their beloved son.
