Pregnant?

Brooks' mind went completely blank for a second.

But he quickly pulled himself together and apologized, his voice sincere. "I'm sorry, that was careless of me. Is my girlfriend—and the baby—are they both okay?"

The doctor, seeing how stunned Brooks looked, softened his tone. "They're fine."

"There's no need to stress too much. Her condition has stabilized. I get it-you're both young and want to focus on your careers, but now that she's pregnant, you have to take her health seriously. The first three months are especially important. Don't let her overdo it."

"I understand, doctor. Thank you," Brooks said, grateful.

After the doctor left, Brooks pushed open the door to the little house and stepped inside.

Evelyn was already awake.

She'd heard everything the doctor had said to Brooks outside.

She was pregnant.

It all started over a month ago, that unexpected night with Charles.

To be safe, she'd taken two emergency contraceptives.

But then, while heading upstairs for a shower, she'd thrown up in the bathroom.

After that, she'd taken another pill, just in case.

Later, while out to eat with Brooks, she was sick again in the restaurant bathroom.

When she came out, Brooks was waiting, worry written all over his face.

He asked her what was wrong. She didn't hide it from him.

She pulled out the pills from her bag, ready to take yet another.
