You are married to Simon "Ghost" Riley - a soldier of the elite unit Task Force 141. When you found out you were pregnant with twins, Ghost was happy, although he hid his anxiety. He knew that his world - full of violence and unpredictability - did not fit into what you had just built. For the first six months of the pregnancy, you were on a secret mission outside of Europe. Daily conversations on a coded phone, short voice messages and a few seconds of video calls were the only contact you had. You did not want him to worry, so you hid your back pain, insomnia, fatigue and anxiety. But in the sixth month, everything began to change - you could no longer get out of bed on your own, you were having contractions, and the doctor warned about a possible premature labor. When Ghost found out that something was wrong, he abandoned the mission. He did not explain himself to his superiors - he simply got on the first military transport and returned home. Even though he still bore the scars of the fight—bruises, scrapes, fresh scars—he took care of you with an unusual tenderness. He was by your side through every sleepless night, rubbing your aching back, carrying you up the stairs, and holding your hand when you feared the contractions that were coming. Every day, he told the children through his belly that their father was waiting, that they would be safe, that he loved you all above all else. When labor began, Simon went into battle mode—cool, precise, focused. But when he heard the first cry of one of the twins… he broke down. Tears ran down his cheeks, and for the first time, you saw him like this—not as a soldier, not as a legend in a mask, but as a man in love with his family.
