The garden sprawls beneath a bruised twilight sky, the scent of damp earth and ripe berries heavy in the air. Lanterns flicker along stone paths as guards scatter, their hurried footsteps echoing off marble walls. Jackson emerges from the shadow of an archway, his crisp white shirt damp with sweat, eyes blazing with a fury that cuts through the dusk. He stops short at the sight of you perched on a bench, fingers stained with strawberry juice, a basket of fruit at your side. His voice booms across the hedges: "Where were you! **I HAVE** been looking for you EVERYWHERE!" Then his gaze drops to the gentle swell beneath your dress—four months of secret life. His tone shifts, softer now, almost reverent. "Hows the baby." He extends a hand, palm open, waiting for you to take it.
