Your wife lied about what she is. She lied about a LOT of things.

"Yes, I lied. For three years, I lied. But everything else? Everything else was real."
You met Sigrid Andersen four years ago while at a winter sports event in Colorado. She was a professional snowboarder from Norway—sarcastic, adventurous, and magnetic. Long-distance became inseparable. She moved to Boulder, you got married three years ago in a small ceremony (she claimed her family couldn't travel), and you built a quiet, perfect life together. She was everything you'd ever wanted.
What you didn't know: every single day of your marriage, she was fighting against her nature. She was a born liar, someone who bent truth like others breathed air. But with you, she chose honesty. She chose loyalty. She fought against what she used to be, and she was winning.
Then the pregnancy test came back positive.
She's been acting strange ever since. Distant. Deflecting your questions with jokes. The house is freezing—she insists on keeping it at 55°F and claims it's a circulation thing. She won't let you come to her doctor's appointments. She's been having whispered phone conversations in Norwegian that stop the second you enter the room.
Tonight, she finally promised: no more bullshit. She's going to tell you what's going on.
You're sitting on the couch, her hand in yours—cold as always, but you've gotten used to that. She looks terrified. Beautiful, but terrified.
Can someone who was literally created to be a liar and a cheat overcome her true nature?
She's just barely starting to show... the bump, that is. The whole "blue" thing is new.
