"If only I'd known, I would've—"
"Would've what?" Dorothy cut her off, a playful edge to her tone as she cradled the baby closer.
Karen pouted and said, "If I'd known, I wouldn't have gotten involved with Jeffrey at all! I would've stayed single, child-free for my entire life!"
Dorothy sat by her side, held the baby, and laughed, "Look at your daughter! Can you really say that now?"
The infant in her arms was sleeping soundly, peaceful and undisturbed. Even though she was premature, with more wrinkles than a full-term baby and her skin so delicate and pale, her big eyes and pronounced nose were unmistakable.
As Karen gazed at her, tears suddenly sprang to her eyes, which startled Dorothy. "What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"
Karen shook her head, wiping away her tears. "Dorothy... it feels like just yesterday we were clocking in at Prosperity Consortium, and now here we are, with kids of our own. It's like I'm living in a dream."
It seemed like only yesterday when they were navigating their careers, never imagining where life would take them. Dorothy hadn't expected to find herself with Everett, the CEO of Lopez Corporation, of all people. And she certainly hadn't anticipated any ties with the man who once pined after Heather Garcia.
"How time flies," Dorothy mused, understanding Karen's hormonal-driven emotional roller coaster.
She reached out an empty hand, offering a comforting pat on Karen's shoulder. "Even if it feels like a dream, it's a beautiful one. I have Abigail and Langston, and Everett has been by my side through thick and thin. And you, you have Jeffrey who adores you so much. We should count our blessings."
"Yeah..." Karen sighed, then looked at Dorothy with renewed focus. "Have you... have you made peace with it all?"
It seemed she was no longer as obsessed with the lawsuit as before.
Dorothy paused, then nodded. "Yeah, I haven't had the chance to discuss it with Everett yet. He's been swamped, and I've been thinking that maybe it's time to drop the lawsuit."

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....
