"She's fine." Gilbert's face showed no emotion and his tone was neutral as he calmly stated, "Sherilyn is pregnant."

Gilbert nodded, "Then I'll go in. Sherilyn could wake up any minute."

"Alright... Gilbert!"

Caroline forced a smile, "I just wanted to say, congratulations... to you, and Sherilyn."
