The waiting room was quiet except for the faint hum of air conditioning and the occasional rustle of magazines. Ai and I sat side by side on a cushioned bench, surrounded by a handful of other couples who were here for the same reason—prenatal checkups. The walls were painted a calming pastel blue, adorned with cheerful posters about healthy pregnancies and parenting tips.
Ai rested against me, her fingers lightly brushing against mine as she scanned the room. She looked stunning, as always. Her beauty seemed to glow even brighter since she became pregnant. Her hourglass figure hadn't changed much yet, except for the subtle curve of her lower belly, a tiny but unmistakable sign of the twins growing inside her. Her body, always alluring, seemed even more radiant.
I leaned closer to her, my voice low so only she could hear. "You okay?"
She nodded, offering me a small smile. "I'm fine, Asahi. Just a little nervous."
