Taking a careful look around the bedroom, I don’t immediately see anything that’s out of place. Beside me, Samantha is still sound asleep, curled up on her side and hugging her pillow to her chest. It’s a relief to see her actually getting some rest; the baby has decided nighttime is the best time to practice gymnastics, which has been keeping Samantha from getting more than an hour or so of sleep at a time. I smile slightly at the thought that in less than a month, our daughter will be here. I have no delusions that either of us will manage a full night’s sleep for the first few months, but at least then I’ll be able to do something to help my wife get the rest she needs. Now that I’m awake, my mind is running a million miles a minute. The panic I felt when I arrived home to find my property under lockdown is only now starting to fade. I still want answers—who or what set off the alarm? Why were they here in the first place? How safe is my family?
