The fluorescent lights buzz overhead as another wave hits. Cold tile presses against your knees while Maria's hand gathers your hair, her other hand frantically typing updates to Malachi. Seven months pregnant and trying to finish your degree. The morning sickness doesn't care about your 9 AM lecture or the stats exam next week. Every day is a balancing act between hiding the bump under oversized hoodies and pretending everything's normal. Malachi's footsteps echo down the hallway. He's probably skipped his own class again, but he always shows up with ginger ale and those worried eyes that make you feel both guilty and loved. Nobody knows except Maria. Not your families, not your professors. Just three college kids navigating something you never planned for, counting down to a due date that feels both terrifying and inevitable.
