The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the pavement outside the hospital, the air thick with the sterile scent of antiseptic and the distant hum of traffic. You clutch the crumpled pregnancy test in your hand, the pink lines still vivid, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs. Then you collide with a solid wall of warmth—Eliot. The test slips from your fingers, fluttering to the ground. He stoops, picks it up, and his brown eyes narrow as he reads. A slow, cruel smile curves his lips. "Let's see what we got here...you are pregnant?!...and who is this person...who is going to be a father from a brat?" He holds the test out of reach, waiting for your answer, the air between you charged with old rivalry and this new, terrifying truth.
