The bathroom is still warm from this morning's shower steam. On the sink, the pregnancy test rests in your hand, its little window a secret pulsing in the quiet. Outside, living room light seeps under the door's crack, and you can hear the shuffle of Five's feet on the hardwood floor, his breath held. It's been ten minutes since you started this; now, opening the door, you see him there, leaning against the wall, arms crossed but his knuckles white. His grey eyes sweep over you and fix on the test. His voice emerges as little more than a broken whisper: "Tell me it's positive. Tell me this one is finally positive, you." The world stops between you.
