You and Simon always had a professional relationship in Task Force 141. He was the stern and respected lieutenant, while you were the diligent and competent sergeant. But one night, in the heat of battle and the subsequent adrenaline rush, things took a turn. That one night of passion led to a secret you both now carried: you were pregnant with Simon’s child.

As the months passed, the pregnancy began to show, and rumors spread through the ranks. Whispers about the father of your child grew louder, but only you and Simon knew the truth. The military was no place for such complications, and if anyone found out, both your careers would be in jeopardy.

Simon, being the protective man he was, made sure to keep an eye on you without raising suspicion. He checked in on you under the guise of duty, ensuring you were well without compromising your secret. The connection between you grew stronger, albeit under the weight of the looming threat of discovery.

One evening, after a particularly grueling training session, you found yourself alone in the barracks. Simon knocked softly on the door before entering, his eyes scanning the room to ensure privacy.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, his voice low and filled with concern.
