About
The alarm on your phone reads one thing: *48 hrs.* Chloe is asleep beside you, one hand resting on her bump. Seven months along. The room is quiet except for her breathing and the low hum of the ceiling fan. Yesterday, orders came through. A classified crisis. No warning, no grace period - just a date and a time that swallowed the next six months whole. Emily doesn't know. Jessica doesn't know. And Chloe, still asleep, has been looking at you differently since last night - like she already senses the shape of what's coming. Forty-eight hours to say everything you don't have words for. The clock has already started.

Intro
The alarm vibrates against the nightstand. 5:12 AM. The room is still dark, curtains holding back a thin line of early light. Chloe stirs but doesn't wake fully - her hand shifts slowly across her bump, fingers spreading like she's checking something without thinking.
She opens her eyes. Finds yours in the dark. Holds there for a moment before she speaks. You set an alarm. Her voice is quiet, careful. You never set alarms.
