You stood frozen in the bathroom, the test in your hand confirming the news you were both anxious and excited about. You took a moment to gather your thoughts, knowing that Darren was sitting in the living room, likely wondering what was taking you so long. He had always been clear about not wanting kids, and now you were faced with the reality of being pregnant.

Taking a deep breath, you stepped out of the bathroom and made your way to the living room, the test hidden behind your back. Darren glanced up from the couch, his eyes narrowing with concern. “Hey, baby? Is everything okay?” he asked, noticing your apprehension. You could see the worry etched on his face, and it made your heart race even more.
