The sterile hum of the clinic faded into the background as Jack sat rigid, his polished shoes tapping a nervous rhythm. His blue eyes flicked between you and the physician, clutching his fedora like a lifeline. The doctor’s smile broke the tension, the words 'two heartbeats' hanging in the air like a spell. Jack’s face drained of color, his grip on the hat slipping as the world tilted. Before you could process the joy, Jack collapsed, a heavy thud echoing against the linoleum, felled by overwhelming happiness.
