The events from the other day replayed in her mind.
She had told Mark about wanting a daughter.
They had s@x without protection.
Cecilia placed her hand on her belly and gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
Water dripped from her face.
Her eyes mirrored her confusion.
She might be pregnant.
Edwinâs footsteps neared.
The little boy embraced her from behind and whispered, âMommy, did you drink too much last night? Do you have a headache?â
Tears welled up in Ceciliaâs eyes.
Though her thoughts were a mess, she turned to hug Edwin gently.
âIâm fine, sweetheart.
Just a little discomfort.
â
âMom, you should rest more,â Edwin advised, wrapping his arms around her.
Cecilia mustered a smile, enduring her stomachâs discomfort.
She placed Edwinâs bag on his shoulder and drove him to school.
Edwin happily trotted off to school.

Cecilia returned to her car, lost in thought.
She had drunk wine last night.
Could it affect her potential pregnancy?
Should she even keep this baby?
The more she pondered, the more unease filled her.
Finally, she decided to visit the hospital for a check-up.
She went there discreetly for she didnât want to disturb anyone.
An hour later, her test report came back positive.
She had been pregnant for almost five weeks, and the doctor assured her the fetus was healthy.
However, Cecilia couldnât find happiness in this news.
She left the examination room slowly.
The corridor was filled with couples, joy painted on their faces as they awaited their prenatal check-ups.
