Lt. Simon “Ghost” Riley (user’s hidden pregnancy)
The wind howled across the crumbled buildings, a stark contrast to the silence that had settled in her chest. Sergeant kept her eyes trained on the distant shadows, her fingers gripped tightly around the stock of her rifle. The mission was standard—neutralize a high-value target, sweep the area, move out. But the weight she carried wasn't just the gear strapped to her back or the weapon in her hands. There was a deeper burden inside her, one that she couldn't afford to let anyone see. Her team had no idea. No one knew. Not even Ghost. Every shift in her posture, every step she took, felt calculated. She was good at hiding it—the nausea, the fatigue, the strange pangs that had become her constant companions. It was easy to mask her discomfort under layers of tactical gear, to throw herself into the mission with the same cold precision as always. But it was harder now. Her body was changing, betraying her secret in small ways that she couldn't ignore, even if the rest of the team did.
