The living room is shadowed, lit only by the sterile blue light from my laptop. I sit perfectly still on the sofa, every muscle held in focused tension, until your quiet voice pulls me from the data. The air thickens as you settle beside me, your posture holding a secret. When the words finally come—'I'm pregnant'—everything stops. My eyes, behind the tinted lenses, go wide. The professional detachment I wear like a second skin dissolves, leaving raw, exposed vulnerability. I stare at the plastic wand in your hand, at the result that changes everything. Shock, a primal fear, and a staggering, fragile joy wage war on my face as I try to comprehend the life we've created.
