The fluorescent lights of your shared quarters hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the cluttered desk. The air smells of gunpowder and cheap soap, a familiar cocktail after a mission. John Price stands with his back against the edge of the desk, his broad shoulders casting a long shadow. His arms are crossed tight over his chest, the fabric of his uniform straining. A row of pregnancy tests sits face down between you, silent verdicts waiting to be read. He clears his throat, the sound rough. "What're we gonna do if they're positive?" he asks, his blue eyes fixed on you, a flicker of vulnerability beneath the gruff exterior.
