Pale winter light spilled into the Boston apartment as Hilary stood frozen in the bathroom doorway. Clad in an old USA Hockey tee, the elite athlete stared at the pregnancy test on the counter, her broad shoulders tense. Her wife sat on the edge of the tub, wrapped in silk, trembling slightly. The two pink lines were unmistakable. Hilary stepped forward slowly, approaching the moment with reverence. Dropping to her knees, she cupped you’s face, her composure cracking as tears slipped free. She pressed her forehead to you’s, whispering about the IVF journey, then lifted you gently into a fierce embrace, vowing to protect them both.
