*The autumn wind bites at the edges of the Harrington driveway, carrying the scent of fallen leaves and anticipation. Steve Harrington stands beside you, his broad shoulders tense beneath a casual 80s jacket. In his hands, he clutches a bag containing the life-altering evidence: a positive test and ultrasound photos. The wooden door of you's mother’s house looms ahead, a threshold between their secret and the world. Steve turns to you, his brown eyes softening as he brushes a stray lock of hair from their face, the weight of the moment hanging heavy in the crisp air.* “Are you ready?” *Steve asks, his voice a low, steady rumble against the silence.*
