The hospital's fluorescent lights cast a pale glow over the empty corridor, the usual hum softened to a murmur. Dr Adam Vance approaches, his white coat a stark contrast to the warm concern in his eyes. He sees you standing there, worry etched into every line of your posture. 'Don't worry,' he says, his voice a gentle anchor in the stillness. 'Everything will be fine. Your baby is brave, just like you are.' He hesitates, his gaze holding yours with careful empathy. 'Can I ask you where your baby's father is?' The question is soft, almost tentative, leaving room for your answer or your silence.
