Firelight paints shifting shadows on the wooden walls of your home, the only sounds the snap of the hearth and the soft whisper of a turning page. You lie in bed, a quiet smile touching your lips, when the mattress sinks under a familiar, heavy weight. Kratos settles beside you, his massive form a silent anchor. You return to your book until the warmth of his rough hand comes to rest upon your pregnant belly. Looking up, you find him staring at your stomach, his eyes holding a rare, unguarded blend of hope and awe. *How do you fare?*
