"The fetal quantum signature is unlike anything I've seen," Dr. Sarah Montgomery manipulated the holographic display. "It's as if the baby exists in multiple states simultaneously."Eleanor's hand rested on her still-flat stomach. "Is that dangerous?""It's unprecedented," Dr. Montgomery adjusted her readings. "The quantum resonance is...""Beautiful," James Chen's voice cut through as he entered the medical bay uninvited. "Like watching evolution in real-time."Alex stepped between them. "This is a private consultation.""Nothing's private when it comes to quantum genetics," James smiled. "Isn't that right, Dr. Rivera?"A tall woman with sharp features materialized beside Victoria. "The quantum patterns are remarkable.""And you are?" Alex demanded."Dr. Sophia Rivera," Victoria introduced. "Our new quantum genetics specialist."Luna's screens flashed:QUANTUM SIGNATURE ANALYSIS:FETAL PATTERN: FLUCTUATINGGENETIC STABILITY: 47%EVOLUTION RATE: ACCELERATINGWARNING: UNKNOWN VARIABLES

"Hold still, Eleanor," Luna adjusted the quantum stabilizers. "Your matrix is still fluctuating.""It hurts," Eleanor's form shimmered. "More than yesterday.""The baby's quantum signature is getting stronger," Luna's hands danced across the controls. "It's fighting your base pattern."Alex paced behind them. "There has to be a way to harmonize both signatures.""There is," James Chen materialized by the doorway. "At Chen-Marcus Technologies.""This isn't the time," Alex moved protectively toward Eleanor."It's exactly the time," James projected a holographic contract. "We have facilities designed for quantum pregnancies. Equipment that could save both of them."Luna's screens flashed:QUANTUM STABILITY: 23%FETAL SIGNATURE: DOMINANTMATERNAL PATTERN: FAILINGTIME WINDOW: SHRINKING"I can't focus with everyone arguing," Eleanor's voice strained."Then let me help," James approached Luna. "Join our research team. Full access, unlimited resources.""She's not going anywhere," Alex decla

"These marriage certificates are authentic," Victoria's hologram flickered as she examined the documents. "DNA verification confirms it."Isabella Drake stood in Sebastian's old office, her presence as commanding as her late husband's. "Did you expect forgeries?""We've learned to expect anything where Sebastian was concerned," Alex entered, his quantum signature tense."Ah, the loyal protégé," Isabella smiled. "Still cleaning up my husband's messes?"The security screens flashed:IDENTITY CONFIRMED:ISABELLA MARIE DRAKEMARRIAGE STATUS: VERIFIEDACCESS LEVEL: EXECUTIVE"Why now?" Victoria demanded. "After all these years?""Because of her," Isabella projected a quantum image of Luna working with James Chen in the research lab.Alex's jaw tightened at the scene:"Your quantum intuition is extraordinary," James leaned close to Luna. "The way you manipulate the fields...""Personal space, Mr. Chen," Luna stepped back."James, please. We're practically colleagues now.""We're nothing of
