PREGNANT

Antonio didn't hesitate. "We'll go today," he said firmly, his voice steady and reassuring. "Whatever happens, we'll deal with it together."

Olivia nodded, feeling a strange mixture of fear and excitement building in her chest. She hadn't planned on this—not now, not when everything was finally falling into place. But as she looked into Antonio's eyes, seeing the quiet resolve there, she knew that no matter what, they would face it as a team. This wasn't like before, when they had been strangers bound by duty. Now, they were something more. They were partners.

Later that day, Olivia and Antonio drove into town, keeping their errand private. They stopped by a local pharmacy, picking up a few pregnancy tests, and drove back to the estate in near silence. The tension was thick in the air, both of them too caught up in their own thoughts to speak. But Antonio's hand never left hers, holding her tight as if to remind her that she wasn't alone in this.
