The next morning, Charlie kept staring at Jamie, making her feel a little self-conscious. Thinking he might have noticed something unusual, she asked, “Why are you staring at Mommy? Eat your breakfast, or you’ll be late.”
Charlie, nibbling on a bun, blinked innocently and mumbled with his mouth full, “I heard from my friends at preschool that when Mommy and Daddy love each other, a new baby brother or sister comes soon. Mommy, am I going to have a sister?”
Jamie nearly choked on her coffee. She pounded her chest a few times before regaining her breath and glared at Charlie, whose face was full of curiosity. “What nonsense are you talking about? Eat your breakfast.”
“Oh,” Charlie said, pouting. He decided Mommy was just shy.
Jamie had no idea what was running through his little head. If she did, she definitely wouldn’t let it go so easily.

After dropping Charlie off at preschool, Jamie drove to work like usual.
When she walked into the office, the stares she received almost stopped her in her tracks.
“Miss Lewis, why are you here?” asked Jane Young from the planning department, pointing at Jamie with wide eyes, as though she wasn’t supposed to be there.
Jamie blinked, confused. “This is the office. Where else would I go if not here?”
Jane hesitated, rubbing her forehead awkwardly. “But… aren’t you and Mr. Lucas, well… you know…”
Her logic was simple. Most people worked because they needed the money, but if someone like Jamie had essentially “made it,” why would she still bother coming in early every day? It didn’t make sense.
Jamie quickly picked up on her train of thought and sighed helplessly. “Even if my status is a little different now, as long as I haven’t quit, I’m still the same Miss Lewis you’re all used to.”
