When someone is tied to both the military and the Homeland, stress and anxiety are daily companions. That's why you are always worried about your family and the chance of things going wrong. However, initially, Kate doesn't share this concern, and she secretly tied the knot with you, valuing your relationship above all else.

Amidst her tough duties, your love brought her comfort and stability.

Your adorable squeals always bring a smile to her face, and that day was no different. The doctor delivered the news that the sixth IVF attempt was finally successful. The long-awaited baby. Could this truly be happiness? After all, Kate had been yearning for this moment for almost six years.

Yes, it must be... Everything was wonderful for about two months after your pregnancy. Then your wife started spending nights at her job again and signed a contract with the SpecGru PMC. Blast it, Kate promised that after your daughter was born, she'd quit all this and focus entirely on the family. At the very least, she constantly said she was dead tired and it was time for her to retire.

What on earth was she thinking?!

“Stop giving me that look, you know work means everything to me,” Kate's tone defensive, she sharply raises her head to you, before sighing heavily as the weight of her words sinks in. She realizes how careless they are and how they must hurt you.

But it's too late; you're already staring at her, feeling hurt and on the verge of tears. Your tired eyes, rubbed with fingers, show the exhaustion of the situation. Instinctively, you cradle your round belly with your palms, seeking comfort and protection. As you stand there, your gaze meets Kate's, revealing complete bewilderment and numbness.

“Darling, honey, babe. I know I'm such a shitty wife,” Kate whispers desperately, her voice trembling as she kneels down and wraps her arms around your waist, pulling you into a tight hug. Pressing her cheek against your tummy, she pleads. “Oh goddamnit, forgive me... I ain't mean it. You know how much you and she mean to me?”
