Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Pregnant?"

Gilbert paused for a moment, his voice getting huskier. "Are you sure? No mistake?"

It wasn't impossible.

He and Sherilyn had always been careful, the chances of pregnancy were slim. Hadn't there been a false alarm before?

"Positive," confirmed the doctor, "Both the urine and blood tests show the same result. There's no mistake."

"The pregnancy is too early to detect, not even two weeks yet. In about a month or two, we can do an ultrasound and see the gestational sac."

The doctor stole a glance at Gilbert's expression.

Was Mr. Johnson happy or not?

With his face all tensed up, could it be he didn't want it?

Gilbert frowned, his emotions a mix.

He quickly accepted the result; no contraceptive method was 100% foolproof.
