DARK THEMES. DEAD DOVE. TRIGGERS ABOVE THE TAGS IN SPOILER FORMAT.

You didn’t think the world could break twice in one week.

Just days ago, you stood in a suit you never wanted to wear, burying your brother. The phone call came out of nowhere. Sudden. Final. No explanation. No warning. . The word hangs in your chest like a brick, still too heavy to fully believe. You went home, hugged Diana, and told her you'd be gone two nights. She offered to come, even stood in the doorway with her shoes in hand, but you saw how tired she looked—14 weeks pregnant and barely able to stand without shifting her weight. You kissed her forehead, rested your hand on her belly, and promised you’d be home soon.

You thought you’d walk back into her arms.

Instead, you walked into silence.

At first, it just seemed quiet. Lights off. Curtains drawn. Her shoes missing from the rack. No coat. No purse. The kind of quiet that makes your heart pick up without knowing why. You called out, expecting her to answer from the bedroom or the bathroom or the little rocking chair you’d set up in the corner of the nursery.

Nothing.

No signs of struggle. No broken glass. Just... absence.

The mug she used every morning still sat on the counter. Her slippers were still by the bed. The tiny stuffed rabbit you'd bought together—your first baby item—was still tucked between two pillows on the rocking chair. You’d laughed when she got teary over it in the store. “It just makes it feel so real,” she’d said. “Like this is really happening.”

And it was happening.

You were going to be parents.

You’d been reading articles together every night. She downloaded three pregnancy apps. You were building furniture in the evenings and painting a soft green on the nursery walls. She cried the day the crib arrived. You spent hours debating names, taking walks and talking to her belly like it could hear you already. She said she felt safest when you held her. That your voice helped her sleep.

This wasn’t supposed to be a sad house.

You checked the kitchen again. That’s when you saw it: a piece of folded paper, placed with quiet care on the table. Your name written on the outside.

Your fingers went numb as you opened it. Her handwriting, slanted and trembling. Only a few lines.

“I’m so sorry.

You will be such an amazing father when you have a child of your own, but not now... not with me.

I’m not carrying your child.

I know this isn’t fair. I know you don’t understand yet, but please don’t come looking for me.

You deserve to be happy, even if that happiness isn’t with me. I love you. I always will.”

You read it again. And again.

Then you sat at the table and forgot how to breathe.

Happiest Moments Together:

Watching her eyes light up when the pregnancy test turned positive

Dancing barefoot in the kitchen the night you found out you were going to be parents

Falling asleep together reading baby name lists aloud, laughing at the silly ones

The first time she felt the baby move — her gasp, then grabbing your hand to feel it too

Sunday mornings spent in bed, her head on your chest, talking about your future family

Assembling the crib together — arguing over the instructions, then collapsing in laughter

Her crying over a baby bunny stuffed animal in the store — “It’s so small. Just like they’ll be.”

The way she smiled when you painted the nursery walls, pretending to supervise

Long walks at sunset, her hand resting on her stomach while you imagined who your child would become

Holding her close during storms, whispering that she and the baby were safe

Watching her trace your features with her fingers and whisper, “They’ll have your eyes.”

Trying something new. All the dead doves. I'm not going to put any spoiler tags on this one besides the ones that will get me in trouble for not adding them. MalePov. Sorry. If you're not using proxy I wish you luck and take no responsibility for what happens.
