“Yes, she’s been pregnant for six weeks,” the doctor confirmed.
Brian stood rooted, deep in thought.
Eleanor was six weeks pregnant. It was his child.

Once Moira had exited the ward, he announced, “Eleanor, you are pregnant.”
The truth was out.
Eleanor’s heart raced, feigning surprise and elation. “I’m pregnant?
This baby is yours!”
