Cecelia’s questions caught Wendy off guard.
Honestly, she hadn’t fully decided what to do about the baby yet.
She placed her small hand gently on her flat stomach, feeling the weight of the decision. The thought of aborting the baby was unbearable. This wasn’t just Stanley’s child–It was hers too.
If Stanley didn’t want the baby, did that mean she shouldn’t want it either?
Cecelia broke the silence. “Wendy, if you want to keep the baby, then go ahead. With our financial situation, we’re not exactly struggling. A lot of women are opting to be single mothers now. And honestly, if Mr. Hawk doesn’t want the child, that’s even better. We can just kick him out of the picture and raise the baby ourselves. I’ll be the godmother!”
Halsey nodded in agreement. Even though Stanley was her cousin, Wendy had made it clear that she didn’t want him to know about the pregnancy. Halsey respected that and fully supported whatever decision Wendy made.
Wendy always took the time to think things through, so whatever decision she made would be the right one for her.
“I’ll be the godmother too,” Halsey added with a grin. “Maybe the baby won’t have a dad, but it’ll have three moms. And even though Mr. Hawk might not be the greatest guy, you can’t deny his genetics. Can you imagine? A baby between you and Mr. Hawk–it’s bound for success!”
Cecelia completely agreed. “There was that story a while back about a rich woman who married a grad student from Stanfern University. She spent over 30 million on him got pregnant, and then divorced him right after. She basically paid for his genetics with all that money. So, it’s actually a pretty good deal. You should definitely keep the baby.“!
With both Cecelia and Halsey encouraging her, Wendy thought it through and felt a weight lift from her chest.
She didn’t need to worry about money, and she didn’t mind having a baby so young, as it played into her goals in life.
She nodded. “Alright, I’ll keep the baby.”
Halsey quickly replaced Wendy’s glass of wine with a glass of milk. “You’re our top priority now, Wendy. You’re a pregnant woman.”
Cecelia winked playfully. “Honestly, having Mr. Hawk’s baby is a win. His genes are top–tier, and I bet his skills in bed are just as impressive.”
Wendy had just taken a sip of milk when Cecelia’s words made her burst out laughing, spraying the milk all over the table. She glared at Cecelia, still grinning. “Just eat your food.”
Cecelia shrugged, tossing a big shrimp into Wendy’s bowl. Come on, Wendy, you’ve changed! You promised we’d always share everything, but now you won’t even tell us about your sexy times with Mr. Hawk.”
Wendy sighed and resigned herself to comment on his skills in bed. “Fine. He’s incredible!”
Cecelia and Halsey both gasped dramatically. Halsey added “Of course he is. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have knocked you up so quickly!”
Wendy rolled her eyes, but deep down, the teasing from her friends had lifted her spirits. The stress about the baby had melted away.
“Since you’re craving spicy food, it’s likely it’s a girl,” Cecelia said with a mischievous smile.

They all began to guess the baby’s gender.
Wendy smiled, her eyes twinkling. “It doesn’t matter–boy or girl, I’ll love it the same. But if it’s a girl, she’ll be my little bundle of joy.”
Wendy had always dreamed of having a daughter.
Halsey grinned. “If it is a girl, she’ll be all soft and cute. I’m sure Mr. Hawk would love that. But too bad. It seems like he’s not going to be involved in the baby’s life.”
Cecelia laughed. “Let’s raise a glass to Wendy, a single mother by choice!”
