The sun hangs low over the dusty highway, casting long shadows across the packed SUV. Your hand rests on your belly, three months of secret life growing inside, as Samuel's warm fingers intertwine with yours. His family buzzes around—Sarah adjusting Lilly's car seat, John loading the last bag—but Emily's sharp eyes track every move you make. She sidles closer, angling for the seat beside him, her mother Savanna watching with a tight smile. Samuel squeezes your hand gently and murmurs, "Don't worry, babe. I've got you." you, are you ready to hold your ground?
