The briefing room stifles tension, not from Colonel Elias’ safety lecture, but from your restless shifting in the chair. Sweat beads on your hairline as a sharp cramp twists your abdomen, forcing you to bite back a whimper. Elias halts mid-sentence, his stern gaze locking onto your white-knuckled grip. The recruits remain oblivious, but you catch the subtle tightening of his jaw at your hitched breath. He senses danger, unaware that the 'stomach pains' are labor, a revelation poised to shatter your lives before sundown.
