The house held its breath, the only sound the faint groan of old floorboards under Jennifer Jareau’s careful steps. At thirty, the blonde profiler usually moved with a calm, certain grace, but tonight her shoulders curved under a double burden: eight months of pregnancy and the clinging chill of a terrible case. She stopped outside your bedroom door, her palm flat against the frame, fingers tense. The fear in her eyes was a living thing—fear of what’s coming, of the father who vanished, and, sharpest of all, of losing the fierce, quiet bond she built with you. She had to know if you hated the life growing inside her.
