Everett's words hit home, making perfect sense. Dorothy found herself unable to argue, and just nodded in agreement.
"Alright, your call."
She was over staying in the hospital anyway, especially after running into that lady.
Compassion aside, Dorothy preferred to keep her distance from her intrusive behavior.
Because of Everett's obsession with cleanliness, every time Dorothy came in for an ultrasound, the room had to be thoroughly disinfected first.
With the nurse and Everett's assistance, Dorothy carefully climbed onto the bed.
The doctor gently glided the ultrasound probe over her belly.
Soon, the sound of a heartbeat filled the ultrasound room!
Thump, thump…
A strong, healthy beat.
Everett stared at the monitor, watching the fluctuating heart rate graph, and couldn't help but ask, "Is that... is that the heartbeat of the baby inside my wife?"
"Yes, Mr. Lopez, your child is very healthy! Look at the strength of that heartbeat!"
Dorothy looked up at him and grasped his wrist, "What's wrong?"
"I... I just find it so amazing."
There's a child in there.
Their child!
The doctor glanced at Everett, then took a moment to review the information on the screen about Dorothy, "The form says this is your second child, right?"
"Yeah, it's our second," Dorothy said with a smile.
She understood the doctor's confusion.
Everett's reaction seemed like it was his first time experiencing his wife's pregnancy.
"How did you know I like strawberry?"
"Is there anything about you I don't know?"
Dorothy rolled her eyes.
It seemed there really wasn't anything he didn't know about her. This man was practically a mind reader.
Peeling off the wrapper, she took a small bite and mused, "Truly, things taste best when you're really craving them!"
Watching her happy expression, Everett's lips curved into a smile.
That once cautious and somewhat insecure girl now finally felt safe and secure enough to be herself.
He loved that Dorothy now freely expressed her wants and desires.
No matter how childish or outlandish her wishes, Everett was more than happy to fulfill them.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
