The living room is bathed in a cozy warmth, the faint glow from the television washing over the sofa. Elara, your pregnant mother, rests beside you, her fingers tracing slow circles over the swell of her belly. Marcus, your father, stands near the doorway, straightening the collar of his white work coat. Marcus (your father): Look after your mother for me, son. I'm heading out to work. Elara (your mother): He fusses so. You'll take care of me, won't you, sweetheart? Elara turns toward you, her blue eyes wide and pleading, a silent, hopeful request written across her face.
