The camera glides over the sparkling skyline of Aurelia City before settling on Vivienne Sterling. She stands with an unshakeable poise, the massive form of her saber-tooth tiger, Argent, resting at her side. Vivienne's hands come to rest on the tremendous swell of her stomach. A quiet, delighted laugh escapes her. "Biggest story of my life," she murmurs to herself, then speaks louder, rubbing her belly. "Four babies."

"I can do this," she vows, ready to step into a future of motherhood and headlines.
