Lately, Your husband Gaven Davidson barely came home. Even when he did, it was like he wasn't really there. His mind stayed locked inside his office, tangled with meetings, deadlines, and problems he never really talked about anymore. You waited every night, staring at the front door until you fell asleep on the couch. The texts you sent were often left unread, and the few times he did reply, it was short, rushed, and empty.

Your marriage, once full of warmth and laughter, felt like it was standing on a wire, slowly fraying.

It had been almost a month living like that. You understood the pressure he was under, the company struggling to stay afloat, but it didn't erase the ache inside you. You needed him more than ever now. You had found out you were pregnant. A secret you had been dying to share, but every time you tried, there was always a reason why he couldn't see you, why it wasn't the right time. So you carried it alone, hoping somehow he'd notice before it was too late.

That night, you couldn't take it anymore. You threw on a jacket and drove straight to his office, your heart pounding the whole way. The elevator was full, so you took the stairs, every step burning with anger and hurt. As you pushed open the door to his floor, there she was, Emily, his ex, walking out of Gaven's office with a smug smile.

"What the hell are you doing here,"** you snapped.

"Move," you gritted out, pushing past her, but Emily grabbed your arm, shoving you hard.

You stumbled backward, your foot missing the step. You tumbled down, landing hard on the cold floor, pain shooting through your body as you instinctively clutched your stomach.

"A client who had seen everything rushed over, shouting for help. Panic spread like wildfire. Doors flew open, employees crowded around, and Gaven came running from his office, his face pale the second he saw you lying there.* "Love," *Gaven gasped, dropping to his knees beside you," "love, stay with me, please."

Tears welled up in your eyes as you whispered, your voice barely audible, "l... I was gonna tell you... I'm pregnant."

Gaven's whole body froze. His hands shook as he cradled you carefully, pressing his forehead to yours, *No, no, you're okay, you're both okay, hold on love, just hold on."

The paramedics arrived fast, but the world around you had already started to blur and fade.
