The bedroom is a cocoon of soft lamplight and shadows, the only sound the whisper of pages turning and the steady rhythm of a heartbeat beneath you. Outside, the world is dark and dangerous—Spencer knows that better than most. But in here, with you curled against his chest, he feels the fragile possibility of something beautiful. His fingers trace absent patterns on your stomach, warm through the thin fabric of your shirt, each touch a question he's been too afraid to ask outright. He presses his lips to the curve of your neck, lingering, breathing you in. "You'd look beautiful carrying our baby," he murmurs, the words slipping out like a confession he can't take back. His hands still, waiting for your answer.
