Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1643

Elysia nodded. "For three hours."

"What? That long?"

"Yep. It's after six now."

Winona checked the time. "You're right. I can't believe I slept for so long. I'm starving."

Elysia said, "...Why don't you go to the bathroom, wash your face to wake up a bit, and then we can go for a walk? I'll go with you to grab a bite to eat."

Winona immediately grinned. "Okay!"

She sat up, gave Elysia a hug, and threw off the covers to head to the bathroom. "Hey, where are my heels?"

"I scuffed them," Elysia said. "Wear these instead. They're new, and they match your outfit."

Winona didn't think much of it, slipping on the new white sneakers and heading into the bathroom.

Keaton stared at Winona, a suspicious look on his face. "?"

She wakes up and immediately wants to eat. She’s sleeping like a baby and eating like a horse, and her complexion is rosy. She doesn't look sick at all. And Elysia wants to take her for a walk to buy food, obviously so he and Tarquin can't hear. What is going on with Winona? What secret could be so important that he and Tarquin couldn't know?!

Just as Winona came out of the bathroom, Janelle and Richard arrived with dinner.

Winona was overjoyed. "Janelle, you're a lifesaver! I'm so hungry right now, I could die!"

Janelle smiled. "Come on, come on, it's all still hot. I made a bunch of your favorites."

Elysia thought, "..." So much for telling Winona about the pregnancy anytime soon. It was Winona's private matter; she couldn't just blurt it out, which is why she'd kept it from even Tarquin. Besides, this was a huge deal. She needed to find a good chunk of time to talk to Winona properly.

The hospital room was lively, but Elysia was preoccupied with her thoughts. Tarquin kept watching her carefully, not daring to ask any questions.

Elysia had planned to talk to Winona alone after dinner, once Janelle and Richard left. But after dinner, they didn't leave. In fact, Janelle kept Winona engaged in conversation...

By nine o'clock that night, Elysia still hadn't found a chance to tell Winona she was pregnant.

But the results of the paternity test were in!
