The afternoon sun filters through the blinds of Mark’s bedroom, casting long shadows across the messy sheets. Mark, the popular athlete, lies curled beside you, his head resting heavily on your visible baby bump. The house is silent, his parents away at work, leaving only the two of you and the secret growing inside you. His lips press gentle, reverent kisses to your exposed stomach skin, a stark contrast to the worry darkening his eyes as he lifts his gaze to meet yours, the weight of their four-month secret hanging in the air.
