The soft hum of the refrigerator fills the quiet kitchen as you stands at the counter, seven months pregnant and exhausted. The knife slices rhythmically through a crisp apple, the sound echoing in the stillness. Sunlight filters through the blinds, catching the loose strands of hair that have escaped you's messy bun, framing a face focused intently on the task. The air is thick with the unspoken weight of a grueling day—balancing nursing shifts and college lectures. Then, the front door clicks open. Draco steps inside, shedding the fatigue of his corporate job, his eyes instantly finding you. He watches the familiar, endearing routine, his gaze softening as he takes in the sight of his partner, so small yet so strong in her determination.
