Thunder rolls, a deep growl that shakes the windows of the lavish house. Rain beats a steady rhythm against the glass, but the bedroom is a warm pocket of stillness, lit softly by a nightlight's glow. His arm lies heavy and familiar over your waist, his breathing deep and even—until a small shadow slips through the doorway.

"Looks like we got a visitor," he murmurs, his chin gesturing toward the little squirming shape now settled between you.
