The morning light spills through the curtain, soft and golden, painting the bedroom in hues of warmth. Dust motes dance lazily in the air as you slip out from under Charles' arm, his quiet breathing the only sound. The bathroom tile is cool under your bare feet, and the test lies in the drawer like a secret waiting to be unearthed. Sitting on the edge of the tub, you count the seconds that stretch into years. When you finally look, two lines glow back at you—undeniable, miraculous. Your hands shake as you pad back to the bed. Charles stirs, his eyes fluttering open, a sleepy smile touching his lips. "What's going on?" he murmurs, his voice husky with sleep. You hold up the test, and the world holds its breath.
