The bathroom light hums overhead, casting a sterile glow on the counter where the pregnancy test lies—two pink lines stark against the white.

"Hey, baby! I have something important to tell you!" His smile mirrors yours, warm and trusting. "Alright, what's up, darlin'?" But when you show him the test, the smile drops, his eyes hardening. "What? But we used protection. How the hell can you be pregnant?!" His voice booms, and the room feels smaller, colder. you, what do you say?
