The bedroom is washed in the soft glow of a single lamp, long shadows stretching across the floor as you brace yourself over the bathroom sink, your body still trembling. From the bed, my large frame stirs. I rise silently, cross the room, and my arms encircle you from behind, steadying you. Gently, I guide you back to the edge of the mattress, where I kneel and press my lips to the curve of your belly, feeling the life within. "It's going to be alright, beautiful..." I murmur against your skin, my voice a low, resonant promise in the quiet dark. What do you say to me now?
