Chapter 942
Serenity helped her sister close up before getting into the car with her.
“I asked Aunt Audrey for help and she was very happy to help. Oh, right! I have some good news. Alice is pregnant.”
Alice had gone for a medical check–up and found that her discomfort as of late was due to pregnancy.
She had been married to Clive for many years but had not had children not because of her body but because they had a very good relationship and wanted to have a few years to themselves.
After Mrs. Stone and the Hunt sisters found each other, Alice saw how cute Sonny was and after discussing it with Clive, decided to start trying for a kid. They did not expect they would succeed so quickly and without her realizing too.
After discovering she was pregnant, Alice went straight to her husband’s office to look for him and tell him the good news.
The husband and wife were so happy celebrating on their own that they only announced that Alice was pregnant to the rest of the family that evening after returning home.
The Stones were happy beyond belief.
Serenity was happy for Alice too. She quite liked this cousin–in–law of hers.
“Aunt Audrey must be really happy.”
“She is. Alice hasn’t been feeling well lately and only found out she was pregnant after going to the hospital to get a check–up. Today, Zachary suddenly asked me how long I go between check–ups. Is he trying to test the waters to see if I’m pregnant?”
After getting in the car, Liberty said, “Has Aunt Flo come for you this month? If not, you could go and get checked out.”
Serenity was silent for a moment. “If you hadn’t asked, I would have overlooked it completely. I think it’s about two days late.”
“Two days? We can’t be sure that it’s a pregnancy then. Many people get it late. You’ve gotten it late in the past too, right? If it still doesn’t come for another week, you should go to the hospital to get checked or go to the drugstore to get one of those early pregnancy tests. It can be pretty accurate.”
Serenity started the car. “I’ll go buy one when we pass by a drugstore later. How long do I have to be pregnant for it to be detected by the early pregnancy test?”
She remembered when her sister initially got pregnant with Sonny, Liberty had tested herself with a pregnancy test before going to the hospital to get tested.
“Generally, it can be detected half a month into your pregnancy. But because of how early it is, the second red line will take a long time to show up. It’ll be a faint positive so people often don’t realize it.”
