"Really?" Dorothy's eyes went wide with surprise.

The news was just too much to take in all at once, leaving her a bit... lost for words.

Behind her, Everett gave Jeffrey a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Don't tellyou're having second thoughts?" Otherwise, why the long faces? They should be celebrating! He himself longed for the joy they were facing.

"I do want this!" Jeffrey whispered urgently, leaning close to Everett. "It's not a matter of affording it, of course I want it! But the last tKaren was pregnant... it was so tough on her. I can't bear the thought of her going through that again." Jeffrey grimaced, speaking without thinking, "You haven't been through it with Dorothy, so you can't understand how I feel! It's like wanting and not wanting at the stime!" Silence followed his words.

Looking up, Jeffrey met Everett's deep, dark eyes.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to—!" Jeffrey slapped his own face in apology. "Everett, this whole situation has gotten to me, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore! Please, you have to believe me!" Everett lowered his gaze, nodding slightly.

"I know." Though his words were calm, his posture, bent head, and the shadow his lashes cast over his eyes told a different story.

Jeffrey wished he could just sew his lips shut.

"Don't dwell on it. Dorothy will make things right for you soon enough! Don't overthink!" "Right." Turning around, Dorothy saw a worried Everett and a guilt-ridden Jeffrey.

What was this combination? "Since you're both here, why don't you help us decide? Should we go through with the pregnancy or not?" Karen was genuinely unsure, hoping for sguidance. But this wasn't a decision anyone else could make! "How can we decide for you? This is something for you and your husband to discuss," Dorothy said, taking Everett's hand with a smile. "Let us know when you've made up your minds." "Okay," Karen admitted, knowing she had put them in a difficult position.

After smore comforting words to Karen, Dorothy and Everett left the hospital.

Once in the car, Dorothy turned to look at Everett.

Something had been off about him since his conversation with Jeffrey.

It was as if he had lost his voice, not saying a word.

"Everett?" "Hmm?" He reached over to fasten her seatbelt, raising an eyebrow.

Dorothy took the opportunity to get close, looking him in the eye. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." Everett tried to turn away, but Dorothy caught him, "You're clearly upset it Do about something! Why h from me? Just tell me." Cet

He forced a smile, barely there. "I'm fine, really. What's the tofalk M about? "What were you and Jeffrey discussing? I'm curious, tell me." He paused, his voice tight.

"Children." Dorothy suddenly understood.

Now that Karen and Jeffrey were expecting again, Everett must be feeling a mix of emotions. "Once we're out of the woods, I promise, we'll have another," she said.

"Dorothy, you don't get it," Everett said, his fips pressed together. "Met
