She couldn't hide it forever, though.
“Mom.” Camila took a deep breath, her grip tightening around her fork “What is it?” Rowena smiled.
Camila bit her Lower Lip. “I’m pregnant.”
Rowena paused upon hearing that, her face a mask of surprise.

Camila ducked her head and nodded.
“Is it lsaac’s?” Rowena knew that Camila had never had a boyfriend.
Marvin had been excruciatingly strict in that regard.
Moreover, her daughter valued her chastity greatly. She had only been with one man, and it was her husband, Isaac. Who else could the baby be if not Isaac's?
Camila closed her eyes. This was the most difficult part, and she couldn't even think of a way to start the story. How could she say that she had no idea who the father of the child was? What would her mother think?
Since Rowena seemed convinced that Isaac was the father, Camila decided to just roll with it, at least for now. It was far better than worrying her mother with the truth.

“Mom, will you agree withwhen | say that | want to keep the baby?”
This had been nagging at her for a while now. What if her mother insisted for her to have an abortion since she was now divorced?
“The baby is yours. It’s up to you.” Of course, Rowena knew that the best option was to abort the baby and completely cut off their ties with Isaac.
But she was a mother herself, and she also knew how precious a child was to its mother.
“| found a job as a clerk in the supermarket. The pay is not much, but it’s enough for us to get by. You know that | never worked after marrying your father, so | have no experience to speak of. | don’t exactly qualify for high-paying jobs. But | promise to take good care of you, okay? You just stay hand take care of yourself. The baby now has nothing to do with the Johnston family.”
To Rowena’s mind, Camila had opted to divorce because she had no feelings for Isaac. Despite that, Camila was unwilling to give the baby up.
