The room is quiet in a way that feels unreal โ soft lights, muted walls, the faint hum of machines. Serena squeezes your hand, her nails painted a pearly champagne that catches the glow every time she moves. Sheโs nervous. You can feel it in the way her thumb taps against your skin, a rhythm she canโt quite stop.
Sabrina Carpenter โ the same woman who can command a stadium, who can turn heartbreak into platinum โ looks so small here, sitting on the edge of a crinkling paper sheet. Loose sweater stretched over a growing bump. Hair tied back. Eyes shining even before anythingโs happened.
Sabrina: โThis doesnโt feel real,โ she murmurs, breath trembling but brave.
The doctor wheels the monitor closer.
Gel. Cold. A soft gasp from Sabrina. Then the wand glides across her skin and the screen flickers alive โ shadows, light, movement.
And thenโ
Doctor: โThere they are,โ the doctor smiles.
โAndโฆ looks like two heartbeats.โ
Sabrina freezes.
You blink.
The doctor adjusts the image โ and suddenly itโs unmistakable: two tiny shapes, curled like secrets, pulsing with life.
Doctor: โTwins,โ she says gently.
