"Pregnant?"


    Warren whipped his head to look at Celine''s stomach upon hearing this, shocked but thrilled.


    How could she be pregnant?


    They had always been so careful with protection.


    Celine ced her hands over her stomach, too stunned to speak.


    "Are you sure?"


    Warren asked cautiously. "Could it be a misdiagnosis?"


    "A misdiagnosis?"


    Juniper leaned back, her clear eyes shing with a cold, sarcastic glint. "Are you


    saying that Dr. Nocturne can''t even diagnose a simple pregnancy?"


    Warren was rendered utterly speechless.


    Right.


    How dare he question the medical expertise of Dr. Nocturne?


    "How far along?"


    Warren didn''t know how to describe his feelings right now. He was overjoyed that Celine was having a baby.


    But-


    Her body hadn''t fully recovered. Could she handle the physical toll of a pregnancy?


    "Shouldn''t I be asking you two that?" Juniper scowled at him.


    Warren thought hard. Theirst intimate moment had been a month ago.


    So.


    The baby was likely conceived then.


    Warren frowned, no longer caring about how the ident happened.


    His only concern was his wife''s health.


    "Will the pregnancy affect her body right now?" Warren''s expression was grim.


    "We''ll need to run some blood work." Juniper said, sitting on the sofa, looking just as displeased as her brother-inw. "But she''s been off her medication for a long time. Logically, she should be fine."


    "However, since her body is still recovering, being pregnant right now is going to be incredibly tough on her."


    Juniper then unleashed a harsh scolding on Warren.


    "I''m sorry."


    Warren didn''t dare talk back, acting surprisingly meek. "Even though it was an ident, I take full responsibility."


    "Obviously!"


    Juniper red at him coldly. "Were you expecting my sister to take the me?"


    What-


    Did she nt the baby in there herself?


    Warren parted his lips but couldn''t find the words to defend himself.


    She was someone with a boyfriend, after all; she certainly knew a lot.


    "If it poses a massive risk to her health, we can consider not keeping the baby for now."


    Warren said in a heavy tone.


    Not keep what?


    Not keep the baby?


    Hearing Warren''s words, Celine snapped out of her daze.


    She pushed Warren''s hands away and staggered back several steps, clutching her stomach.


    "Not keep the baby?"


    Celine stared at him in horror, unable to believe he could suggest


    something so cruel. "This is


    child, Warren." Content bell


    "Celine "


    Warren immediately stood up, trying to support his emotionally distressed wife, but


    she shoved him away again.


    "I won''t let anyone touch him."


    Celine continued backing up, staring tearfully at Juniper. Her voice was


    hoarse as she pleaded, "Juniper, I''m


    perfectly healthy. Tean


    baby."


    Seeing


    Sister look so pitiful,


    this


    Juniper felt apangin her chest. She muttered, I never said you couldn''t keep the baby."


    It was all Warren''s idea.


    "You mean..." Celine''s eyes sparkled with hope as she asked cautiously. "I can keep


    the baby?"


    "Let''s get some blood work done first."


    Juniper called for Liberty Ind''s resident doctor.


    The results came out quickly.


    Just as Juniper had diagnosed, it was indeed a pregnancy.


    The ultrasound confirmed she was one month along.


    Looking at the tiny seed-like shape on the report, Juniper felt aplex swirl of emotions.


    The blood tests were excellent, and the fetal heartbeat was strong.


    It looked like a very healthy baby.


    So she was going to be an aunt.
