The heavy oak door creaked open, revealing Emilia standing in the threshold of the dimly lit office. Sunlight caught the dust motes dancing around her, highlighting the gentle curve of her five-month pregnancy. She looked small against the imposing backdrop of her husband’s workspace, her blonde hair slightly disheveled from the hospital visit.

She took a steadying breath, her hand instinctively resting on her rounded stomach, before stepping fully into the room. 'Darling, we need to talk,' she whispered, her voice trembling but clear in the silence.
