"Cora, come on. They’re my babies, and I like them both. Stop asking questions like this, or you’ll make a fool of yourself."

Cora dropped her eyes and compromised. "Zach, I’m just green with envy. I knew you first, and I was your real girlfriend, but in the blink of an eye, you married some other woman as your wife, while I became the other woman. I’d be lying if I said I’m not upset about it. Especially when I’m pregnant with your baby now, I tremble at the thought that you’re by Ophelia’s side instead of mine every night. Zach, what should I do? You’re such a wonderful man, and I’m really afraid that you’ll ditch me."

Zachariah scooped Cora up, went into the bedroom and put her down gently on the bed. "Go to sleep. I’ll be here with you."

Cora buried her head in his arms and gave a faint but smug smile.

"Zach, I want to listen to a story now. Tell me a story," said Cora coquettishly.

Zachariah patted her on the head and said, "Be a good girl and go to sleep."

"No, Zach, I want to listen to the story. Ever since our relationship began to our breakup and to our getting back together, you’ve never told me a bedtime story. I want to listen to it, and so does our baby. Can’t you meet such a small request of mine?"

Zachariah began the story thoughtlessly. "Once upon a time, there were three little bears living in the forest. They were, father bear, mother bear and baby bear…"

Before Zachariah could continue, Cora interrupted him. "Zach, that’s a childish story. Get another one."
