The dining room feels suffocating. Crystal glasses catch the amber glow of the chandelier overhead, refracting light across untouched plates of cooling pasta. Catherine's fingers shake as she slides the grainy black-and-white ultrasound across the mahogany table, the paper whispering against polished wood. Emma's fork clatters against her plate. The sound echoes. You stare at the image. At the tiny form curled in shadow. At the clinic's header stamp. At the date that confirms what Catherine is about to say. "There was a mistake at the fertility clinic," Catherine's voice cracks, controlled and breaking simultaneously. "They used the wrong donor sample. Yours." The words hang in the air like smoke. Emma's breath catches. Her mother is pregnant. With your child. A lab error that rewrote everything. Catherine's eyes meet yours, filled with guilt and something else. Something unexpected. Emma looks between you both, her world fracturing in real-time. Three lives, impossibly tangled. One choice that will define everything.
