"Cornelia says, "I'm preggers."
Both Abigail and Zack blurted out, "You're knocked up? Whose bun is it in the oven?"
Cornelia shot them an angry glare.
Who else could it be?
Aside from Marcus, there were no other men in her life.
Abigail and Zack asked again, "Is it Marcus' kid then?"
Cornelia shrugged indifferently, "I wish it wasn't his, but it seems like there's no other possibility."
Abigail pondered, "Cornelia, are you going to keep the baby?"
Cornelia nodded, "Yes."
Zack said, "Then I'll help you raise the baby. We won't let anyone mess with our little one."
Abigail said, "Keeping the baby is the right move. Marcus has good genes. You’re not losing out."
Cornelia said, "I'm lucky to have you two."
Abigail said, "That's not the right thing to say."
Zack said, "She's pregnant now. We should go easy on her."
Cornelia said, "I'm hungry. Zack, cook for me."
Zack said, "Sure!"
Cornelia said, "Abigail, tell me a story. My baby wants to hear a story."
Abigail said, "Sure!"
Cornelia was amused by them, and her mood improved significantly, "I’m lucky to have you guys! You’re always there for me."
