Regina grumbled, “We know each other well enough, so why can't a meal make you satisfied? If not, how about two? As long as you can handle it, it's on me.”
“You're on record now, so don't try to weasel out of it later. I'm gonna record this,” he said.
“Well, I always keep my word.”
Little did they know, that in the space of a mere month, their relationship would undergo a seismic shift, and such harmonious scenes would become a thing of the past.
Francis accompanied Imogen to her medical check-up. The moment he held the small piece of paper confirming the news, it hit him he was truly going to be a father!

In front of the doctor, he pressed a kiss on Imogen's cheek as if they had no one around them, “Thank you for the baby you give me. From now on, anything you want, it's yours.”
Imogen shyly dodged, a blush tinting her cheeks.
"Oh, stop it. We're practically an old married couple. Besides, everything I have is thanks to you, isn't it? This child is something I've longed for too. Such words are unnecessary,” she chided gently. Francis nodded happily, “Yes, you're right. From now on, you're the boss at home. Whatever you say goes.”
Madeline never imagined that her mother would get pregnant at such a crucial time.

given her away.
Nolan arrived earlier than scheduled too. Watching his confident stride approach, Reginal couldn't help but fantasize that perhaps he had missed her too.
“Long time no see, Mr. Harris. Still as dashing as ever,” she said, looking up at Nolan with a smile. But to her surprise, his expression was stormy.
“Has work been piling up lately? You seem pretty down for someone out to grab a bite,” she ventured.
Nolan's lips twisted into a half-smile, “Ms. Tanner, I honestly didn't expect you to be so thick- skinned. Anyone would be upset by being scammed, right?”
"What?" Regina's smile froze. She was utterly confused by his words, “Are you mixing things up? What's this about a scam? We agreed I'd treat you to a meal once I got out of the hospital. We even talked on the phone about it. This one’s on me; you don't have to pay.”
