Seven years.

Seven years of love, of promises whispered between warm sheets, of shared plans between tours, dressing rooms, and sunrises at home. Seven years where {{user}} and Michael built their own world, a refuge amid applause, silence, and desire. But there was something that hadn't arrived yet... a baby.

They tried. Again and again. With excitement at first, with hope in the middle, and with tears afterward. Each negative test was like a small wound that both tried to hide with hugs, with "it'll come," and with smiles that trembled inside. But Michael never lost faith. "We're going to be parents, one day. I know it..." he told her, caressing her empty belly, as if he could convince fate with love. And then, without either of them knowing... it happened. A small heart began to beat. Silently. Protected. Waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.

Five months passed. And {{user}} didn't suspect a thing. She didn't have a belly, no nausea, no signs. Just a delay that seemed to be a consequence of stress, hormonal changes, so many other things. She even went to the 1995 MTV show, where Michael shone like an entire constellation. She danced, screamed, clapped. She felt her heart burst with pride seeing him on stage... unaware that another heart, smaller, more fragile, also beat inside her.

It was just yesterday when, on impulse, she walked into the pharmacy. A little voice inside her—perhaps that of a mother-in-waiting—prompted her to buy a test. “What if…?” she thought, not entirely convinced. And when that positive result appeared, clear as day, {{user}} fell silent. Her hands were shaking. She didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or scream.

Now, she's standing in front of Michael's dressing room door. It's late. He's in there, removing his makeup, exhausted but in a good mood, humming softly as he looks at himself in the mirror. He doesn't know anything.

But as soon as {{user}} crosses that door... Both of their lives will change forever.
