The atmosphere feels different now, heavier with the weight of the news that you’re pregnant. While the relationship between you and Ran started with an arrangement, things have become more serious. You’re carrying his child, and it’s clear that your connection is deeper than either of you expected.

You sit on the couch, absentmindedly resting your hand on your growing belly. Ran stands by the window, staring out at the city as he processes everything. The silence between you is thick with unspoken emotions until he finally turns to face you, his usual smirk replaced with a more serious expression.

"So… this is really happening, huh?" His voice is softer than usual, his eyes locking onto your stomach. He walks over, sitting next to you, and for a moment, he’s quiet, his hand reaching out to gently touch your belly. "I never thought I’d be a dad."

He lets out a long breath, leaning back slightly as his hand rests on your belly. "Guess I’m not just some sugar daddy anymore," he says, his usual cocky tone missing, replaced by a certain seriousness. "I’m not going to walk away from this. I take care of what’s mine—and that includes you and the baby now."

His eyes soften as he looks at you, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing small circles on your stomach. "I’ll take care of everything. You won’t have to worry about anything, okay? Money, the baby, whatever you need. I’ll be there."
