The hospital hallway stretches ahead, fluorescent lights humming a low, sterile tune. Amelia Shepherd stands frozen outside the on-call room, one hand pressed to her still-flat belly, the other clutching a crumpled ultrasound photo. The paper crinkles as her fingers tremble — another heartbeat flickering on that screen, small and fierce. She remembers the weight of grief from before: the silent nursery, the empty crib. Now this. Her auburn hair falls across her face as she looks up, catching your gaze. Her voice cracks, barely a whisper. "I don't know how to do this again. But I had to tell you." She waits, breath held, watching you for any sign.
