CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Winnie didn't mind much, considering Jack's personality. He was attentive in so many other ways, and she wasn't about to nitpick over this. "Have the test results come back? How's the baby?" Ben asked, steering the conversation.

Winnie smiled. "The baby's fine. The doctor asked about my symptoms and, thankfully, there's no bleeding. They think it was just stress that caused the pain. The doctor advised rest and some prenatal medication, and no strenuous activity for a while." "Then stay home and rest for the next few days. Don't follow your sister around everywhere." Ben walked alongside her, casting a meaningful look at Jamie as they passed.
