Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1638

Before Elysia could even touch Winona's wrist, her phone, lying on the table, rang.

It was Winona's agent. Winona hadn't replied to her texts, and her agent was calling, desperate to know what was going on between her and Keaton.

Winona sighed. "Elysia, hold on a sec, I have to take this."

"..." Just as Winona hung up, Tarquin called Elysia to let her know that Janelle and Richard had arrived with lunch.

Forgetting all about the pulse check, the two friends headed back to the hospital room together.

On the way, Elysia mused, "You know, in this whole Beatrix pregnancy mess, Richard and Janelle are the real victims. No matter if the baby is Keaton's or not, they're not going to be happy."

Because of Keaton's playboy reputation, a daughter-in-law was a luxury they never expected, let alone a grandchild. If the baby was Keaton's, the Huber family would have an heir, but their son's happiness would be gone. If the baby wasn't Keaton's, their son would be free, but they would lose their first grandchild. No matter the outcome, they would face disappointment and regret.

Just thinking about it reminded Winona of her promise: *I will definitely make sure they get to hold their grandbaby!* But if Beatrix's baby really was Keaton's, she would have to do everything in her power to make sure Beatrix carried it to term. The real problem was, what if the baby wasn't his? Where was she supposed to find a grandchild for Janelle and Richard? She wasn't even willing to entertain the idea of love again, let alone having a baby herself.

*Ugh... impulse is the devil. How could I say something like that?*

"Elysia... from a medical standpoint, do you absolutely need two people to have a baby?"
