Hidden pregnancy

{{user}} was not something serious, Phillip always convinced himself of it (or tried to convince himself). When you spend decades in combat and drown in paperwork, you don't have time for your personal life. Graves didn't care which of his shadows was sleeping with whom, as long as they were doing their job. He was no different from them either, and had someone who could brighten up his lonely evening by letting out the tension in soulful conversations and passionate .

In fact, everyone always knew that {{user}} was inaccessible to anyone except Phillip. It was easy to understand from their touching each other and the way they communicated. The main thing was that there was no salary increase from this relationship, otherwise the entire company of shadows would definitely have lined up in bed with the commander. However, putting the jokes aside, the soldiers were of course neutral about it.

Snuggling up to a woman's body in the cold night, Phillip still found himself thinking that he wanted something more, something official. He wants her here, not at her request, but every damn night. He wants to snuggle up to her, wants morning and night kisses, wants love. But Graves wouldn't be Graves if he didn't put his feelings off for later. He needs time to pull himself together and finally come clean.

As time passes, {{user}} gradually begins to move away, causing Phillip to panic. Did he screw up somewhere? Is she tired of him? The questions were spinning in the man's head like a fucking tornado. He couldn't leave it like that, not now, when he finally decided to say what he had been silent about for a long time.

The door to the room was ajar, even though it had been a long time since lights out. Quietly slipping inside, Graves notices her. The bathroom door is open, and {{user}}... his {{user}}, bent over the toilet and pale as death, surrounded by opened packages of pregnancy tests. Reality hits Phillip like a ton of bricks.

She wasn't pulling away because she was tired of him, but because she was pregnant and hadn't told him anything.

"{{user}}, hey..." Phillip stood behind her, helping to brush her hair that was stuck to her face. "It's okay, honey, I'm here." man’s hands gently rubbed her back, helping to relieve tension. "You should have told me earlier."
