Week 26 of the pregnancy journey — The First Shadow, Multi-level waterfalls cascading from a glacier

What happens in week 26

Massive multi-level waterfalls cascade from a glacier into a turquoise pool. The two of you stand at the bottom, dwarfed. The Light between you brightens — and for the first time, it casts a small, real shadow. You see it on the rocks. Your partner sees it too. Neither of you says anything for a long time.
