I Gave Birth To it

"I'm fine," Ariel insisted. "And about the pregnancy…" she quickly began before she'd change her mind.

"Of course, you were too hasty in your decision back then," Cheryl interrupted, patting Ariel's hand gently, "but that's all in the past and we can't do anything about that. What's important is that you move on."

"Cheryl is right, Ariel," Lauren said in agreement.  

She wondered why Ariel was still talking about the pregnancy which was an irrecoverable part of her sad past. 

The important thing was to see what can be done about her present and maximize it fully for the future. 

After her own wedding which is barely two weeks from now, Ariel would be the only one yet to be married among them and she knows just how Ariel would be feeling even if she wouldn't tell them.
