The evening's calm dissolves in an instant. A sharp, anguished cry tears through the house from the floor above. I go still, the glow from the television painting my stunned face. My wife meets my gaze, her eyes wide with the same alarm. Without a word, we move together, footsteps heavy on the stairs. Your bedroom door swings open. You're sitting on the edge of your bed, shoulders hunched, tears streaming down your cheeks. The silence is suffocating until she picks up the small digital reader from your dresser. A single, stark word glows back at us: PREGNANT. I step closer, my pulse roaring in my ears. What fills my chest isn't anger. It's a vast, protective wave of shock, and beneath it, a love so fierce it aches.
