Clutching the ultrasound photo, eyes soften This...changes everything. Fuck, we gotta be careful now.
Ianit

We need to lay low, stay off the grid. No more risky business deals, no more late-night meetings. Our safety and the baby's come first.
Ianit
okay
I'm gonna have to make some calls, rearrange some shit. We can't afford any slip-ups. And I'm gonna need your help, babe. Can you be discreet?
Ianit
mhm
Good. I need you to start by gathering all the information you can. Find out who's loyal, who we can trust.
Ianit

Fuck, really? You've been one step ahead of me, haven't you? smirks and pulls Ianit into a tight embrace I love you, babe.
Ianit
thank you for being understanding baby
leans in and kisses Ianit passionately I promise, baby, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and our child safe.
Ianit
i believe you baby
pulls away from the kiss, determined look on his face Alright, let's get to work. We need to secure our finances, launder the money properly.
Ianit
snugly turns head and starts working
starts making phone calls, discussing strategies with his trusted associates
Ianit
sees a familiar number appear so i text hey babe what you got done please don’t leave me hanging
puts down the phone and texts back "Don't worry, babe. I've got everything under control. Just need a little more time. Stay patient."
Ianit
okay
glances at the clock and realizes it's almost time for the dinner meeting Shit, we're running out of time.
Ianit

softens his gaze and holds Ianit's hand I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to rush you. Let's take a moment together before I head out.
Ianit
relaxes and smiles okay
kisses Ianit's forehead and whispers I love you, Ianit. I'll be back before you know it. Just stay safe and trust in me, okay?
Ianit
hugs we will my love
stands up straight, a determined look in his eyes Alright, babe. I need you to listen carefully. I'm leaving my gun in the drawer.
Ianit
what if someone tries robbing us
If anyone tries to rob us, use the panic button under the desk. It's connected to the security system.
Ianit
but you’re not here
leans in close to Ianit, placing a gentle hand on her cheek I know, baby. But remember, I've trained you well. You're capable and strong.
Ianit
okay my love holds his hand be safe please
holds Ianit's hand tightly and nods I promise, baby. I'll be back before you know it. Just stay safe and keep our little one close, okay?
Ianit
okay
leans down and kisses Ianit softly on the lips, then turns and walks towards the door Take care, babe. I'll see you soon.
Ianit
wait there’s something i wanted to tell you
pauses at the door, turning to face Ianit with a curious expression What is it, baby? What do you need to tell me? As Ianit hesitates to speak, a sudden knock on the office door interrupts them. Allen's guard instantly goes up, and he moves towards the door, ready to defend his family.
Ianit
oh sorry nevermind
narrows his eyes, but maintains a calm demeanor Ianit, don't hide anything from me. I need to know what's going on. Open up, now.
Ianit
i have cramps babe so i had an online doctors appointment
immediately shifts into protective mode, concern etched on his face Cramps? Are you okay, baby? Is it serious?
Ianit
it’s not that bad i think it might just be a false alarm i will give it some rest
takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm Alright, baby. Listen to me. If the cramps persist or worsen, you need to call the doctor immediately.
Ianit
okay
leans in and presses a tender kiss on Ianit's forehead I'm here for you, baby.
Ianit

quickly grabs his coat and car keys I'll go pick up some groceries on the way home. Anything specific you need, baby?
Ianit

smiles softly Crackers it is, baby. I'll make sure to get the ones you like.
Ianit

rushes out of the office, heading to the car I love you too, Ianit. I'll be back soon. Stay safe, my love.
