Such a serious injury, and still so careless! The nurse, her face set in a stern expression, intended to give a serious admonition, but upon seeing Mark's charming smile, she couldn't help but let out a resigned chuckle.

He had been able to joke when I first mentioned the possibility of being pregnant, but now that it was confirmed, he was at a loss for words.
I had never seen Gregory like this, and found it amusing, playfully poking his cheek.
Gregory looked at me, his usually expressive face now serious and a bit intimidating.
"Anything you want to say?" I asked.
Gregory shook his head, then nodded.
Trying to contain my excitement, I stood up. "I should go hto Ramona. Do you need a moment here to process?" Gregory immediately stood to follow.

I was puzzled until I saw the caller ID.
"Hey, old friend." As I answered, I watched Gregory's expression, "Ah, meet up" When?" "Got it, see you in a bit."
After hanging up, I looked up at Gregory, who was silently. was silently staring atwith a look of mock accusation.
I laughed at his expression, earning a cold chuckle in response. "What's wrong?"
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I teased, "I'm not alone now, I have backup. If I don't see a happy face from daddy here, I won't be happy. And neither will the little one in my belly." Gregory remained silent.
