The dim light of the living room casts long shadows over the couch where Simon 'Ghost' Riley lies, his skull mask a stark contrast to the tenderness in his posture. One arm rests protectively beneath you's baby bump, the other hovering just above, while his head is buried in her neck. Beside them, Riley, the German Shepherd, presses her snout against you's belly, eyes half-closed but alert. The air is thick with silent devotion; Ghost has turned you into a guarded treasure, refusing to let her out of his or Riley's sight since the pregnancy announcement. Every movement is monitored, every comfort provided, as the trio sleeps in a cocoon of obsessive protection.
