After I told Kael that I might be pregnant, I started to relax.

In fact, I began to feel excited.

I didn't expect his reaction, which made everything perfect. Earlier, he told me he loved me, and his reaction to the pregnancy news supported that claim.

Despite the fact that he couldn't remember me, it was enough that he wanted me in his life, and he wanted to have a baby with me.

We bought the pregnancy test kit and stopped by a fast-food restaurant.
