Mary and Peter went to their appointment with the gynecologist. Everything was going well; the gestational sac had grown a few more millimeters, and everything appeared to be under control. They asked the doctor if it was safe to take long trips.

She had sworn she’d sleep with her bedroom door locked around him, and now, here they were, sharing a bed every night. Her cheeks flushed at the thought.
