"Pregnant?" Everyone was shocked!
Samantha nodded. "It's likely. Her symptoms are very similar to my sister-in-law's morning sickness! Oh, I never thought I'd become a godmother so soon!"
She sighed. "With Hera's and Bernard's good looks, that baby will be absolutely stunning! I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl. I want both! Maybe they'll have twins!"
"Sweetheart, since you love kids so much, why don't we have one too?" Shaun wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Sure! That way, our baby can have a playmate. And they can marry when they grow up!" Samantha replied enthusiastically.
"It might not be..." Johnson wanted to mention that Hera hadn't shown signs of pregnancy in his earlier check-ups. Then, he reconsidered.
He hadn't specifically looked for it. If she really was pregnant, she would need to be careful with her health, especially since she only recently had surgery. A pregnancy now might be too taxing on her body.
"I remember my cousin having the same reaction when she was pregnant," Aaron chimed in.
"Morning sickness is a common pregnancy symptom. Many women can't stand the smell of meat. Hera's symptoms seem like morning sickness," Nathan added.
Listening to everyone's comments, Nicholas couldn't help but curse, "Damn! Bernard's such a beast!"
Bernard was never a stickler for rules. And he was one step ahead this time!
"No way! Hera's still so young. How could this happen? I can't accept it. Our engagement hasn't even been canceled yet!" Thiago protested, but he quickly changed his tune. "But if Hera insists on having the baby, I guess I can accept it. I'll just help Bernard raise the child."
"As if you could afford it! My family could raise the child just fine!" Nicholas shot back.
Thiago huffed. "Then, I'll be the first dad, Tyler can be the second, and you can be the third."
