Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1641

My heart jumped into my throat!

Tarquin noticed her expression. "What's wrong?"

Elysia's breathing quickened. She ignored Tarquin, tucked Winona's hand back under the covers, and discreetly checked her pulse again just to be sure.

Once she confirmed it, Elysia was stunned.

Good Lord, no wonder her appetite’s been through the roof lately!

It turns out… she… she's pregnant!

What… what was she going to do?!

A pregnancy should be a happy occasion, but Winona was single, fresh off a painful breakup, and had no plans to get married or have kids…

"Elysia, what is it?" Tarquin asked again, worried about her.

Elysia glanced at him, then at Keaton, her brow furrowed.

She took off her coat and shoved it into Tarquin's hands.

"I'm staying here. You'll have to handle the kids, or just call Lowell."

Elysia sat down on the edge of the sofa, watching over Winona. Winona was pregnant and didn't even know it. What if she accidentally hurt herself or the baby?

The thought of them drinking coffee that morning made Elysia's heart pound. Then she looked at Winona's stiletto heels and pictured her rushing around in them, and her heart beat even faster.

Beyond the physical safety issues, there were the psychological ones. Winona was a firm believer in not getting married. A woman who didn't even want to tie the knot, at the peak of her career, was suddenly pregnant! Should she keep the baby or not?

And whose baby was it? Was it Keaton's? If it really was Keaton's, what then? Keaton was also against marriage, a total playboy who was all about the physical and not the emotional. Would he want a child? Would he forbid Winona from having it?

If she had an abortion, it would cause serious physical and psychological damage to Winona.
