I couldn’t take my eyes from Bethany’s baby bump as I rested a hand on my own.
“Yeah,” I said, still in shock to see her, my voice was barely audible.
“You look well,” Bethany said. She gave me a sly smile. “
I shifted uncomfortably and didn’t say anything.
“What do you want?” I asked. “I mean I thought you were in prison.”
“I found out I was pregnant just before my trial. When I found out I was pregnant, the judge took pity on me and granted me early release on parole. I had to take parenting classes and I must remain on probation for a few years, but for now I am free and I want to be a good mother.”
“That’s…incredible,” I said. “I just don’t understand why you are here.”
Bethany grinned, “I came to see Carl.”
I cocked my head in confusion. "You want to see Carl? Why?"
"You will find out soon enough." Bethany giggled at my shocked expression.
Then I saw Carl rushing in.
