Although she couldn't quite put her finger on why, the warmth from Everett's palm seemed to infuse her with endless energy, bringing her a sense of peace and comfort.
"She'll be alright."
Dorothy nodded, instinctively leaning closer to him, "Karen is always so upbeat; she's bound to turn things around."
Everett gently stroked her hair, his voice deep with concern, "Did you have to go through something similar?"
Dorothy paused before she could grasp his meaning.
"No, Abigail and Langston were always so considerate, they never put me through any trouble." She said.
"Don't lie to me. Karen already told me about your difficult delivery." Everett could also imagine that she must have endured more pain and hardship than most since she was pregnant with twins.
Dorothy stiffened, her grip on his hand tightening, "There's no need for guilt over the past! Not telling you was my decision, and I'm prepared to face the consequences."
She never held any resentment towards Everett.
He was unaware of her pregnancy, so it was unfair to blame him for any subsequent risks.
"Dorothy, you still don't understand." Everett wasn't sure how to explain. She always had a clear line dividing responsibilities - yours were yours, and mine were mine.
But Everett felt differently. He didn't want their relationship to be so transactional; that wasn't love. He wished to protect Dorothy at all costs.
"Then teach me slowly." She acknowledged her shortcomings, and knew she didn't understand love or what to do once in love. But she was now willing to learn.
For Everett.

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
