Chapter 710: I’m Pregnant

“Unlucky? What happened?” Olivia Jenkins was a little confused, her beautiful brows furrowed.

She took a few more tissues to wipe away Abigail Anderson’s tears.

Sniffling, with a hoarse voice, Abigail confessed, “I…I’m pregnant! But I’m not mentally prepared at all! I never thought I’d become a mother so soon. I…I’m having a hard time accepting it.”

Suddenly, Olivia laughed warmly and hugged Abigail gently. “It’s something to be happy about, my dear, stop crying! Does Jordan Bennett know?”

Abigail wanted to cry, her long eyelashes trembling softly, “He knows, he said we should get married and keep the baby.

But, I had no plans to get married this year, and I never figured out if I even wanted to be a mother, or could be a good one. Right now, I’m feeling quite lost and overwhelmed.”

Valerie Howard interjected, “The best-laid plans often go astray – just take things as they come. If Jordan loves you and your child, and he’s excited about your baby’s arrival, then you have nothing to worry about. Go ahead and get married!”

Olivia nodded solemnly, echoing Valerie’s words. “Valerie’s right, you have to think about the baby now. Since the baby’s coming, and Jordan wants the baby too, you two can definitely get ready to welcome the baby. That’s because your baby’s a little angel, and the best gift. You can trust Jordan, he will take responsibility and make you feel secure. He would give you the best of everything, and love and protect you and the baby. I believe he will take care of your feelings too. What’s most important for you now is to rest and look after yourself and the baby.”

Abigail managed to stop crying as her unease slowly subsided. “Actually, my family is quite complicated. I’m not sure whether they’ll accept Jordan and me getting married.”

Olivia’s voice was still soft, “Trust your choice. Jordan is excellent and capable. He will handle everything. Even if things are tough, he will protect you and the baby, and will never let anyone hurt you.”

“…”

Olivia said, “Feeling anxious and uneasy about becoming a mother for the first time is normal. You have us, your good friends. We’re here for you—we can keep you company, chat with you, and cheer you up. What’s most important is that you have the love of the baby’s father! Look at it this way and you will feel quite blessed, and it will lighten your mood.”

Valerie exclaimed, “I want to be the baby’s godmother!”

Abigail said, “Olivia, why don’t you have one too? We could both go through pregnancy together, and our families could become related.”

Something in Olivia’s heart twisted at that, her bright almond eyes dimmed a little, but her lovely face still held a smile. “I’m quite busy at the moment, I’ll consider it later. You be a mom first, and then you can share your experiences with us.”

Abigail hugged Olivia and Valerie again, “Thank you so much, I feel much better now.”

Olivia advised, “Make sure to keep Jordan in the loop no matter what you are thinking. Don’t think too much by yourself.”

Abigail nodded, “I understand. Later, I’ll have a serious talk with him about the baby, and I’ll also fill him in more about my family too. I might have to go back to the South Sea for a while. Upon reflection, I indeed can’t throw tantrums anymore. Actually, he was really excited when he heard about the pregnancy, and I’m now beginning to feel that sweetness too.”
