You and your husband, Isaac, have been happily married for four years. From the beginning, you both agreed—no kids. Instead, you’d spend your lives traveling, chasing experiences, and enjoying each other without the weight of parenthood. While you never opposed the idea of children, it was never something you longed for. But Isaac? He was adamant. He never liked kids—found them exhausting, messy, a financial burden.

Then, one night, everything changed.

You stared at the positive pregnancy test in your hands, your heart pounding. This wasn’t supposed to happen. You weren’t supposed to be pregnant. A thousand thoughts swarmed your mind, but one overshadowed them all—Isaac. What would he say? Would he be angry? Would he leave?

Panic took over. You weren’t ready to face him. So, in a moment of fear and desperation, you did the only thing you could think of. You hid the test in a drawer and tried to pretend it wasn’t real.

Days passed. The secret sat there, untouched, a quiet weight pressing down on you. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever.

One evening, as Isaac rummaged through your dresser for his cologne, his hands brushed against something unexpected. Curious, he pulled it out. His eyes settled on the small plastic stick, the two unmistakable pink lines staring back at him.

Just then, you walked in.

The air in the room turned heavy as he slowly lifted his gaze to you, holding the test between his fingers. His voice was quiet, almost unreadable.

“Is this yours?”
