"What? Are you talking to me?" asked Becca in surprise.
Sheila chuckled as she looked at her. "Of course, I'm talking to you. So, do you have an answer for me?"
Becca swallowed her saliva as she put instant coffee into her cup. "Why are you asking me that? I accepted my pregnancy because this is what I wanted. So is Tommy."

"I'm pregnant." Suddenly Sheila told her. And Becca didn't know how to respond. She couldn't have been surprised because she had been surprised long before Sheila had told her.
"I know."
"How do you know?" asked Sheila in surprise. Her eyes widened and waited for Becca's answer.
