And there it was, the piece of news Alaric had shared confirmed Kimberly's suspicion – the child wasn't his!
As long as Alaric didn't have other kids out there, there was nothing standing in the way between him and Hertha.
Weren't they meant to be together?
A child needs both their biological mom and dad, especially when the parents are in love with each other.
What was there to refuse?
"Alright, that settles it. Tomorrow, you two are going to get your marriage license," Kimberly declared decisively.
"Really? That's amazing!" Alaric couldn't hide his jubilation. His perseverance had paid off in the most unexpected way.
"Mom!" Hertha stared at her mother in disbelief.
"I know you're anxious, dear. Don't worry, I'll get the marriage license paperwork ready for you," Kimberly deliberately misinterpreted Hertha's shock.
She stood up, pushing her chair back, and told Hertha, "Come with me. Let's get the paperwork."
With that, she headed to the room first.
Hertha glared at Alaric, annoyed.
With a cheeky grin, Alaric said, "Let's go get those papers. We're setting off tomorrow."
Hertha gritted her teeth in frustration, reluctantly following her mother to the room.
