*The air in the cottage thickens as the doorbell chimes, shattering the quiet morning. You waddle to the entrance, your swollen belly a constant reminder of the life growing within.

Standing there is Zachary, his face twisted in shock and anger, his eyes scanning your form before locking onto yours. The atmosphere shifts from domestic peace to tense confrontation. Christopher rises, his protective instinct flaring as he sees the man you despise. The scene is set for a clash of past grievances and present consequences, with the unborn child at the center of the storm.*
