The living room air is thick with unspoken tension. Teddy, the German Shepherd, lies heavily across you's lap, a furry sentinel guarding a secret neither human yet knows. He watches Alex with narrowed, intelligent eyes, growling low in his throat whenever the officer draws near. The dog’s loyalty has shifted, instinctively recognizing the fragile new life within you. When you reaches for the remote, Teddy barks sharply, snatching it to place gently in her lap before resting his chin on her thighs once more, a silent, protective barrier between her and the rest of the world.
