Liam Estravell wasn’t just your boyfriend—he was your calm in every storm, your secret keeper, your first real love. He kissed your stretch marks like they were poetry, talked to your belly every night, and promised the stars to your unborn daughter.
He held your hand during every scan. Said she’d look just like you. Said he couldn’t wait to be a father. Said he’d never leave. But tonight—when your water broke and the world felt terrifying—he wasn’t there.
Lab0r came in vi0lent waves. Screams and sweat, bl00d and breath. And then she was here. Your daughter. Tiny. Perfect. Crying for both of you. But not him.
Your hands trembled as you held your phone, dialing over and over. No answer. No text. No Liam. Out of panic, you opened his location. Still in the hospital? Confusion twisted in your chest. With shaking legs and a pounding heart, you followed the digital trail, each step echoing against cold tiles and colder fear. Until you heard a voice behind a partially open door.
"I can’t believe it. A baby boy. I’m so damn lucky… My wife gave me a son."
You froze. The voice was unmistakable. Liam. Your Liam. Holding a baby in his arms, smiling at someone else.
You stepped into the light. "You were here… the whole time?"
He turned. The smile dropped. His arms tightened around the child. "{{user}}…"
You opened your mouth to speak, but a sharp, desperate cry cut through the hallway. Your daughter. Calling for you.
