Just as Teresa was about to take a sip, Jennifer snatched the glass right out of her hand. Teresa, are you out of your mind? You have to drive later” 

It’s none of your business,Teresa muttered, frowning as she grabbed the glass back

Hayden spoke up, Teresa, I know you mean well, but don’t drink. You have to drive. It’d be dangerous.” 

Teresa pressed her lips together, refusing to put the glass down. Jonathan, who’d been silent all night, finally stood up

He poured two shots, raising one to Hayden. Grandpa, let me drink this for her. If anyone’s at fault, it’s me. Teresa never did anything wrong” 

He downed it in one go. Then, with the second glass, Jonathan turned to Teresa’s family. Evelyn, thanks for raising such a great daughter. I wouldn’t have met Teresa without you. Jennifer, Donald, I wish you guys a happy marriage.” 

He paused, looking at Teresa. Teresa, I hope things only get better for you.” 

He chugged down the shot of strong wine in one gulp. Among everyone here, only Hayden heaved a genuine sigh, brimming with regret and helplessness over their failed marriage

After dinner, everyone said their goodbyes. Evelyn got into Teresa’s car, asking her to drop her off at the hotel

Get in,Teresa said, pulling the car around. She hadn’t touched a drop, but Evelyn was already wasted

Your sister found a good man. Why don’t you just do what Hayden said and get back with Jonathan? He still cares about you, you know,Evelyn said

Teresa spun the wheel with one hand. Mom, just drop it.” 

Evelyn mumbled, I just want you and your sister to be happy; that’s all a mom wants.” 

Teresa shot back, Do you really care about if I’m happy?” 

How could you even say that? Every mom wants the best for her daughter. If it weren’t for IreneWhat does she think she is?Evelyn’s voice faded as she dozed off, her snores softly filling the car

Teresa kept driving, the stereo playing a gentle love songthe kind she used to love when she got married. She didn’t wake Evelyn up until they pulled up to the hotel

She watched Evelyn enter the hotel before heading off to pick up Michael

Michael was still mad that Teresa went to the dinner without him, so he didn’t speak to her the whole way home

Once they got home, Teresa pulled out two big crabs. Look, I didn’t forget about youI snuck these crabs out just for you.” 

Wow, Mom, these crabs have huge claws.Michael’s eyes lit up

You’ll have them tomorrow morning.” 

Michael nodded, making up with Teresa right away. Mom, was the party fun? When will you take me to one?” 

Next time,Teresa replied, always quick to make big promises to Michael

The next morning, Teresa suddenly had a stomachache. She wondered if it was something she ate yesterday, though she really hadn’t eaten much

She went to the hospital for a checkup. She hadn’t booked with Jennifer, but Jennifer just happened to see her pulling into the parking lot and rushed over, insisting on doing the prenatal exam herself

Since it was all about the baby’s safety, Teresa nodded and agreed

Jennifer scolded her, I saw you eating a bunch of seafood last night.” 

I didn’t even touch the crab, just had a little abalone,Teresa replied

If I hadn’t stopped you, you would’ve had wine too. What about the baby? Good thing I was there,Jennifer shot back

Teresa frowned. Can you stop nagging me?” 

Jennifer fell into silence

After the checkup, everything looked good. The baby was healthy, and the ultrasound was even clearer than the last one they’d had in Everport. They could clearly see it was a boy

Jennifer looked a little disappointed. I was hoping maybe it’d be a girl.” 

Doesn’t matter to me,Teresa said. I’ll love my child no matter what.” 

As Teresa was about to leave, Jennifer called out to her, From now on, come to me for all your checkups. Don’t go to anyone elseunless you’re ready to stop hiding this.” 

Teresa didn’t say anything

Jennifer added, That baby is my nephew. I care about him more than any other doctor.” 

And you should also look out for Cheryl’s baby. She’s due this month. That’s a life, and she’s your boyfriend’s sister. You really should tell her family. I just can’t understand what you’re thinking,Teresa said

Jennifer said, Because I don’t want to lose Donald. I’m not willing to risk even the slightest chance of losing him.”
