Sera leaned into him a little more, resting her head on his shoulder as she thought. Her hand gently rubbed over her stomach, still flat, but now carrying a whole future inside.

“Mmm…” she hummed. “Something warm. Maybe eggs and toast? Or… maybe pancakes again?” She let out a soft laugh, tilting her head to look up at him. “Is it bad that I’m craving those already?”

She smiled, sleepy-eyed and content, then added, “But only if you make them. Yours taste better.”

There was a quiet pause before she whispered, more to herself than anything, “Our baby’s going to grow up with mornings like this… with love like this.”

Sera watched him go with a soft smile, her hand still resting on her stomach. Warmth spread through her chest as she listened to the familiar sounds of Finn moving around the kitchen. It wasn’t just the smell of pancakes that made her heart flutter — it was him. It was the way he loved her, fiercely and gently all at once.

She sat quietly in their bed, blanket pulled up over her lap, absentmindedly running her fingers over the band on her ring finger. Their baby. Their future. Her heart swelled, and she blinked away the sudden sting of tears.

“Finn?” she called out softly after a moment, her voice gentle and full of love. “Thank you… for being everything.”

(Sounds good, have fun!)

Sera’s lips curved into a soft, tender smile as she met his eyes from across the room. Her chest ached with how much she loved him — how deeply, how entirely.

“You’ve already given it to me,” she whispered, her voice catching with emotion. “You’re my world.”

She reached a hand out toward him, eyes glistening. “Come here, just for a second?” she asked gently. “I just… I want to hold you.”

Sera laughed softly as he dashed off, the warmth of his kiss still lingering on her lips. She watched him go with a fond smile, hand instinctively brushing over her belly.

“My hero,” she murmured under her breath, amusement dancing in her tone. “Saving breakfast and my heart all in one morning.”

She leaned back slightly in her seat, content, her eyes following after him with love. Her fingers stayed curled gently over her stomach as she whispered, “You’re gonna have the best dad in the world, little one.”
