But after deciding to take care of Mary and her baby, he had panicked about how to properly care for a pregnant woman. Determined not to fail, he had spent hours searching for a good doctor and reading articles about pregnancy, which left him with plenty of questions.

“Alright, please relax and take a deep breath. Just a little prick, and I’ll take a bit of blood. This will help confirm the pregnancy,” the doctor said.
