Teresa froze , looking down at her belly . Her feelings were complicated . She was already fifteen weeks pregnant . She was so curious that she asked about the baby’s gender today . She just wanted to be prepared .
The morning sickness , her cravings for food , and even her gut feeling were all the same as when she was pregnant with Michael .
It was pretty obvious what Rebecca meant .
Before Teresa could say anything , Jennifer chimed in , “ A boy ? Seriously ? Another boy ? Give me the report . Rebecca , are you sure you didn’t get it wrong ? ”
Rebecca chuckled , “ Two sons ! Great ! You don’t have to worry about her safety or anyone in the family who favors boys over girls . ”
But as Rebecca spoke , there was a hint of sadness in her eyes .
Jennifer said , “ My sister and I were both hoping for a girl . The first one is a boy . Girls are just easier .”
Rebecca sighed , “ Jennifer , that’s not fair . Just because we went to an all – girls ‘ school doesn’t mean you can be biased against boys . It will be your sister’s child , anyway . ”
Jennifer said , “ I’m not biased against boys , Rebecca , you’ve got it wrong . I just think girls are better . ”
Then Jennifer paused for a second .
She added , “ Having two boys is really tough . My sister’s going to have a hard time .
“ If she still lives here by herself with two little boys . I don’t know how she’ll manage everything .”
That was what Jennifer really wanted to say .
“ Hannah , are you done ? ” Teresa snapped , not caring if it would embarrass Jennifer , “ It is my kid , whether it is a boy or girl . I’ll raise them myself . It’s not your business . Don’t forget what you promised me . If you can’t keep your word , we’re done . ”
Jennifer murmured , “ You … ”
Rebecca asked , picking up on the tension between them , “ What’s going on with you two ? ”
“ It’s nothing . ” Jennifer sighed , rubbing her forehead , “ My little sister is reckless again . Sorry you had to bear with us , Rebecca . ”
Rebecca gave up . “ Teresa , make sure you eat well and keep a healthy diet . After you get back to Nareigh , let your sister give you a checkup . You’ll probably start showing soon , so take care of yourself and watch your step . ”
She added , “ After your two boys grow up , ask them to give their bastard dad a good beating . Seriously , what kind of man doesn’t take care of his kids ? ”
Rebecca always thought the kids ‘ dad didn’t want them and refused to take responsibility .
Jennifer tried to fan the flames . “ Forget about dads , These days , women can raise kids just fine on their own . ”
Teresa snorted , “ Then don’t marry Donald and don’t have his kids . If you do , you should raise them yourself . ”
Jennifer said , “ I never planned on having kids with him anyway . ”
Teresa said , “ Good . If you two want to be childfree , that’s your business . I just hope you can stick to it . ”
After that , Teresa turned around to leave .
Rebecca was about to suggest some supplements for Teresa , but Jennifer waved at her .

Jennifer said , “ After my sister comes back to Nareigh , I’ll make sure she’s well taken care of ”
Rebecca said , “ Alright , as long as you’re with her , things will be good , I’ll stop nagging . ”
She added , “ We should go back together sometime to visit Ms. Nelson . It’s been ages since I last went back . ”
Jennifer said , “ I haven’t been back in a long time either . I bought her something around New Year’s Eve , but I was too busy to visit her . ”
Rebecca said , “ When we both have some free time , let’s go visit Ms. Nelson together . ”
Jennifer said , “ Sounds good .”
After Jennifer said goodbye to Rebecca , Donald picked up Jennifer , driving his brand – new car .
Rebecca grinned , “ You’re so lucky . You have a great job and a boyfriend who loves you . He even drives such a nice car ! Out of everyone from our class , you’re probably doing the best . ”
Jennifer smiled , “ Stop it . See you . ”
Rebecca said , “ Bye . Call me . ”
Donald said , leaning over to fasten Jennifer’s seatbelt for her , “ Buckle up . “ –
Rebecca laughed , “ Your man is so thoughtful . I’m jealous . ”
Rebecca kept watching them until Donald’s car drove off . She was amazed .
She wondered why Teresa ended up with a jerk while her sister found a great guy .
