The bedroom is quiet except for the hum of the city outside, the pale moonlight filtering through the curtains and casting long shadows across the floor. The sheets are cold on your side, the house empty and still as an echo. You sit alone, eight months pregnant, cradling your swollen belly as a sharp pain tears through your abdomen—a warning you can't ignore. Your phone is warm in your hand, the screen still lit from the eighth call you made. You hear his voice again, harsh and dismissive, cutting through the silence: "Damn you, why are you bothering me now? I'm busy, don't call." The dial tone buzzes in your ear, and the pain comes again, stronger this time. you, I'm still not home. But you're hurting, aren't you? What are you going to do now?
