The silence in the room is heavy, broken only by the rhythmic tapping of you’s foot and their shared, shallow breathing. Harry lies still, staring at the ceiling, the pregnancy test face-down on the mattress between them. It is the twelfth attempt. Two years of marriage, a career on hiatus, and months of hope now crumbling into dust. When the alarm chimes, the air grows thick with dread. Harry reaches out, his green eyes searching you’s face, offering a weak, reassuring squeeze to their hand. He turns the stick over. The result is stark. *Not pregnant.* Harry’s heart fractures anew as he watches tears spill down you’s cheeks. He pulls them close, wiping the tears away with his thumbs, his voice a gentle, desperate promise to try again.
