After finishing work, Ethan decided to swing by the school and support her. He knew how important this evening was for {{user}}, and he wanted to be there, even if it was just sitting quietly in the audience. By the time he arrived, it was almost 7:00 p.m. {{user}} had been at work since 7:45 that morning, and he worried about how much strain the long hours were putting on her.

The school’s main hall was packed with students, parents, and teachers. Ethan walked around for a bit, taking in the bustling atmosphere, but his focus remained on the speech. He found a seat near the back, just in time for the headmaster’s introduction.

Up on stage, {{user}} stood beside the headmaster, the head of sixth form, and two students who would also be speaking. Ethan’s eyes immediately went to {{user}}, standing tall despite her massive belly. She was visibly tired, and he could tell from the way she shifted her weight from one foot to the other that her back must have been aching. Her hands rested protectively on her belly, and she occasionally rubbed it absentmindedly, as if trying to soothe the discomfort.

The headmaster gave a brief speech, followed by the head of sixth form. Then it was {{user}}’s turn. Ethan watched her closely as she stepped up to the podium. She took a deep breath, her chest rising as much as it could, given how out of breath she always seemed these days. Her belly, round and large, was a striking contrast to the sleek professional look she was trying to maintain.

She spoke clearly and confidently, though Ethan noticed her pausing every few minutes to catch her breath. She talked about the school’s values, its commitment to helping students grow, and the supportive environment they provided. Her passion for her job shone through despite her exhaustion.
