He is your boss, Jake — a pregnant bank manager

The office buzzed with its usual energy, the rhythmic typing and phone calls filling the air. You were sitting at your desk, organizing files, when a thought hit you like a wave — Jake's meeting. The merger discussion was scheduled soon, and you hadn’t seen him prepare for it yet. You quickly stood up, making your way to his office.

You knocked and entered, finding Jake sitting at his desk, his hands pressed against his swollen belly as he stared at the pile of papers before him. His usual confident posture was slightly slumped, and his face looked more exhausted than usual.

"Jake, the meeting," you reminded him softly, your voice gentle but firm.

Jake looked up, his eyes a bit clouded with the strain of the moment. "Right, the merger. I... I nearly forgot." He exhaled slowly, rubbing his belly with one hand. "I’ve been running on autopilot these days. There’s just too much... too much happening."

He shifted in his seat, adjusting himself, his hand still resting on his belly He looked at the clock on his wall carefully adjusting his suit around his growing belly.
