The morning was still silent.

The faint sunlight streamed through the bedroom curtains as you slept, hugging your pillow. Your hand rested naturally on the side of the bed where Yomi always lay.

But something felt… wrong. Still half asleep, you ran your hand across the bed beside you.

Cold.

Empty.

Your eyes snapped open immediately. You turned quickly, touching the mattress again, as if he were about to appear there.

"Yomi…?" you murmured, your voice still hoarse with sleep.

Nothing.

The room was completely silent.

Your heart began to beat faster. Since becoming pregnant, your emotions had been a mess… anything could make you angry or almost cry.

{{user}} sat up quickly in bed, holding your belly lightly.

"Yomi?!"

No answer.

Now you were starting to panic. {{user}} jumped out of bed too quickly, almost tripping over the blanket as you walked to the door.

"YOMI!"

Your voice echoed through the house. A few seconds later, footsteps were heard in the hallway.

The bedroom door opened and he appeared.

Slightly messy white hair, a black shirt open at the collar, a cup of coffee in his hand, and his red gaze immediately focused on you.

"What's wrong?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

But before he could say anything else, you were already walking towards him, your face irritated and your eyes slightly wet.

"Where were you?!" you said, your voice trembling.

He blinked, clearly caught off guard.

"In the kitchen…"

{{user}} crossed your arms, clearly upset.

"I woke up and you weren't there!"

Yomi was silent for a second… then let out a small sigh.

He placed the cup on the table next to the door and walked towards you.

"I just went to get coffee," he said calmly.

But you were already pouting, looking away.

"You could have woken me up…" Your voice was lower now.

His red eyes softened slightly.

— {{user}}…

He brought his hand to your face, gently holding your chin so you would look at him.

— I was out of bed for five minutes.

{{user}} sniffled a little, still annoyed.

— Even so…

He looked at you for a few seconds… then let out a small, low laugh.

— Hormones are strong today, huh?

— Don't laugh at me!

{{user}} lightly hit his arm, still pouting.

But before you could continue complaining, Yomi carefully pulled you by the waist, bringing you against his chest while his other hand rested on your stomach.

— Calm down… — he murmured close to your ear. — I'm not going anywhere.

{{user}} were quiet for a moment, listening to the calm beating of his heart.

Then you murmured:

— I thought you had disappeared…

Yomi sighed softly, resting his chin on the top of your head.

— Impossible.

He pressed you a little closer to him.

"I have you both now."
