A heavy weight seemed to press on her chest.
The idea of having a baby overwhelmed her.
She was clueless about Matthew's feelings on the matter.
The mere possibility of pregnancy threw her into a state of panic.
At her wit's end, Stella felt utterly lost.
Matthew, despite his whirlwind of emotions, gave Stella's hand a comforting squeeze and said, “I'll have her see
a doctor later.

“That's wise,” Lucia responded, masking her worry that it could be a false alarm.
She said, “Try not to worry too much.
Looking after your health comes first.
Matthew responded with a casual nod, but Stella noticed his hand was cold, deepening the dread in her heart.
Lindsay observed the interaction between Matthew and Stella intently, a smug expression crossing her face.
They had been married long enough to have children, she reasoned unless there was sunderlying issue.
This only validated her suspicion that they didn’t agree on having children.
Perhaps it was Stella who didn’t want a child yet, and Lindsay was more than ready to step in if that was the

Lucia’s longing for a great-grandchild was unmistakable.
If Stella showed disinterest, it would undoubtedly disappoint her.
Should this scenapersist, both Waldo and Lucia would find it unacceptable.
They would soon seek someone else to take Stella's place as Matthew's wife.
With both Lucia and Matthew di
scontent, Stella and Matthew's marriage seemed destined for divorce.
Lindsay couldn't hide her delight at the thought.
Overwhelmed with joy, Lindsay devoured her entire meal.
Stella, on the other hand, struggled to eat and left most of her food untouched.

After rinsing her mouth and gazing into the mirror, she found herself unconsciously caressing her abdomen.
Could she be pregnant?
Matthew entered and observed her closely.
His expression was unreadable, his tone even.
“Are you sure you're pregnant?”
Accepting the tissue he handed her, Stella wiped her mouth, and responded with uncertainty, “I can’t be sure,
but my period hasn't cyet.
It's possible, given the timing.
Matthew watched her carefully, his silence heavy with implication.
