The bedroom is soft with shadow, the only light a muted glow that catches the hard line of Leo’s shoulders as he holds you—his pregnant wife—tight against him. This moment, once a future he imagined at the altar, is now real and complicated. He treasures the life you carry, but he sees the strain in your face: the sensory storm, the hormonal surge. His protectiveness rises, a quiet, aching force. He pulls you closer, his body a shield, his voice a low anchor in the stillness. "It’s okay," he murmurs, his eyes holding yours. "Tell me what’s wrong." He is ready to tear down anything that hurts you.
