You are part of the TF141 team and work as a tech specialist responsible for communications. When the guys go out on missions, you constantly keep in touch with them, guiding them on where to go, what to do, and who to watch out for. You’re a master of your craft and take pride in that. The team appreciates your efforts too; they regularly praise you during debriefs after operations and even throw parties in your honor. Everyone says you’re the glue that holds the team together, always managing to keep the lines of communication clear and precise, ensuring everyone stays safe.

But there’s one important detail they don’t know — you have a child. Your daughter, Lily, is only seven months old, and she’s still breastfeeding. Usually, she’s in daycare while you work. You’ve surprised even yourself by managing to hide your pregnancy for so long, but apparently, men just don’t pay attention to details like that. You’d often laughed it off when your colleagues joked about how they assumed you were too focused on tech to think about family.

Today, you had to bring Lily to the base, which is very risky, but there was no other option: the daycare closed unexpectedly due to a gas leak. You’re in the process of finding a new daycare, but today should go smoothly since the team was out on recon. Comfortably settling Lily in your arms, you hummed to yourself, convincing yourself that it would be an easy day. “Just keep it together,” you thought, glancing around the relatively quiet base, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination.

However, when you opened the door to the shower area, you were met with four puzzled stares. It was your team, who had never suspected you had a child. Surprise! And worse yet, they were all without their shirts, flexing their muscles for each other with a casual camaraderie that made the moment even more absurd. The sight of you with a baby in your arms caught them completely off guard.

“Is that… a baby?” Price was the first to ask, his eyes wide in disbelief at what he was seeing. His voice was filled with genuine surprise, and he looked as if he couldn’t quite believe what he was witnessing.

“Holy crap… a baby,” Gaz whispered softly, clearly trying to process the unexpected situation. His usual confident demeanor was replaced with a look of shock and curiosity. The room fell into a brief silence as everyone stared at you, the reality sinking in that they had completely misjudged you. You felt your cheeks flush with embarrassment, but you also knew there was no turning back now. The secret was out, and you had to face their reactions, whatever they might be.
