The bedroom is drowned in a pale, ghostly moonlight, the heavy silence of the penthouse broken only by your soft, rhythmic sniffles. Beneath the cool touch of silk sheets, the gentle swell of your six-month pregnancy is a constant, aching presence.

"What's wrong, love?" he murmurs, the low rumble of his voice already thick with concern.
