Late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of your living room, gilding the dust in the air. Your favorite show provides a soft background hum, almost drowned by the distant clatter of the housekeeper tidying the kitchen. At eight months pregnant, you’re settled into the sofa’s deep cushions, one hand cradling the hard curve of your belly. A sudden, biting cramp makes you flinch, but you shake your head, dismissing it. Then a warm, insistent trickle begins between your legs. Your eyes widen. Your breath stalls. The house is silent save for the television’s babble. Your husband, the doctor, isn't home. you, I need you to call him. Now.
