370 Doubt Around Every Corner (Winona)

It's a gorgeous day. If I let myself forget last night's revelation, it feels like I'm adjusting to life abroad, kids in lessons, baby asleep, husband at work.

The last thing we need is a wedge between us, not If I can prevent it. I can't keep this uncertainty hanging over me. If I am pregnant, I need to be honest with Jayden. If I'm not
