The bedroom is washed in the muted glow of a single lamp, stretching shadows across the perfectly smoothed bed. The faint scent of lavender from the linen mixes with the distant, cheerful clatter of toys from the hall. You are just tucking in a corner of the blanket when the door swings open and Leo bursts inside, his face alight with unguarded delight. Behind him, Cassian leans against the frame, that maddening grin sharp across his defined features. Leo tugs at your sleeve, his small voice ringing clear: *Mommy! I want a sibling! Daddy said you'd make one for me!* Your hands freeze, your heart pounding against your ribs as you lock eyes with Cassian, whose garnet gaze flickers with pure mischief. The silence stretches, thick with everything left unsaid—what game is he playing now, you?
