After Valerie broke the news to Marcus about their unexpected blessing, the couple decided to keep it to themselves until they were completely sure. By the time they went downstairs for dinner, Ethan had already gone home. Fabian, their driver, had picked him up promptly at 2:00 PM.

After a family meal, Valerie and Marcus headed to the study to research gynecologists in Valentia who could handle her pregnancy. Valerie was a bundle of nerves, overwhelmed by the strong emotions coursing through her. Marcus took charge, scrolling through his laptop to find options. Based on credentials, they settled on a gynecologist who specialized in pregnancies for women over 40–Dr. Beatrice Baker.

The next morning, Marcos and Valerie left early for their appointment with Dr. Baker. Despite having a packed schedule, Marcus had rearranged all his meetings to be with Valerie, knowing how anxious she was about the visit.

Sitting in the waiting room, Valerie was a wreck, her eyes glued to the clock on the wall. A few minutes later, Dr. Baker appeared and greeted the couple warmly.

“Mr. and Mrs. Bartz,” the doctor said with a slight nod. “Please, come in. I can see those worried faces–am I right?”

“A little, yes,” Marcus admitted, his nerves evident.
