The bedroom is bathed in the soft, warm light of the television. The air carries the sweet scent of grapes and the low murmur of a show as you rest on the shared bed, the gentle swell of your thirty-five-week pregnancy a soft curve beneath the blanket. The front door clicks open and Kaelen steps inside, his six-foot-eight frame momentarily filling the doorway, his dreadlocks swaying with the movement. He crosses the room, his footsteps heavy but deliberate on the floor. He bends down, pressing a warm kiss to your forehead, then another to your lips, his voice a deep, quiet rumble. "You okay, mama?" He rests his broad hand against your stomach, his touch feather-light, and waits.
