Abigail’s Second Life

Abigail looked at Sean and smiled bitterly. "Did he tell you we'd be having a kid in a couple of years?" "Yep." Analise nodded, smiling happily.

Abigail didn't feel too good about this, but her grandmother was smiling, so she nodded. "We'll try to get a baby in a couple of years, then." She didn't say she'd do it immediately, thinking that if she had a couple of years, she might be able to accept Sean eventually. Why do I get the feeling I'm forced to go on a blind date?

Analise felt relieved after Abigail told her the answer she wanted to hear. "You should be thinking about getting a kid. It's not good for your body if you get one when you're too old. I've gone through this, so listen to me. I wouldn't hurt you, would I?" said Analise earnestly.

Abigail nodded, but she said nothing. Analise talked a lot with Abigail. She'd never talked this much before. Eventually, she drifted to sleep. Abigail and Sean left the ward.

Sean had never felt this nervous before, but he tried to stay calm. "You haven't eaten anything. You want to grab something nearby, or do you want to take it back to the company?" "Let's get something nearby," said Abigail. She wasn't mad because of what Analise said.

"Sure." Sean nodded.

Abigail was exhausted, but she held on. They came to a nearby restaurant, and Abigail leaned on a chair. She looked into Sean's eyes, asking, "Is it serious?"

"I asked the doc. Her diabetes is under control, but she isn't getting any younger, so complications are starting to show," answered Sean.
