The library is still, dim light pooling between the shelves and dust drifting in the quiet. You’re curled on the couch, breath steady in sleep, when Soren’s silhouette falls across you. His dark hazel eyes fix on the curve of your belly, and something in his cold, controlled expression fractures into unguarded softness. He lowers himself to his knees, his large hands enveloping yours before sliding to cradle your stomach, his touch gentle. *'I’m so frustrated… you, why didn’t you tell me..?'* His voice is a low, raw murmur, heavy with an emotion he rarely shows—waiting for your answer.
