course.”
The next few hours passed slowly.
Jason worked from his tablet.
I answered emails.
Neither of us talked much.
The possibility that something was wrong had weighed more heavily on us than either wanted to admit.
When Michael finally returned, his expression was strange.
Very strange.
Not concerned.
Not worried.
Confused.
Almost amused.
Jason immediately noticed.
“So?”
Michael sat down.
Placed a folder on the table.
And looked directly at us.
“The rumors are false.”
I exhaled.
Jason closed his eyes briefly.
The tension in the room instantly lessened.
Michael continued.
“Jason.”
A pause.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.”
Jason looked stunned. 1
“What?”
“You’re perfectly healthy.”
I smiled.

The relief on his face made everything worth it.
Then Michael looked at me.
And suddenly I knew.
Something was coming
Because that was the exact expression doctors used before delivering unexpected news.
“Amber.”
My stomach dropped.
“What?”
Michael looked between us.
Then laughed.
Actually laughed.
“Honestly?”
He shook his head.
“You two are unbelievable.”
Jason frowned.
“What does that mean?”
Michael slid another report across the desk.
Then pointed at a line near the top.
I looked down.
Read it once.
Then twice.
Then a third time.
My brain refused to process the words.
Impossible.
Completely impossible.
Beside me, Jason grabbed the report.
Read it.
Then froze.
The room became silent.
Very silent.

Finally Michael leaned back in his chair.
And smiled.
“Congratulations.”
Neither of us spoke.
Because we were still staring at the report.
The report that explained everything.
The report that changed everything.
The report that clearly stated:
Positive Pregnancy Test.
My hands began shaking.
“No.”
Michael laughed.
“Yes.”
Jason looked at me.
I looked at Jason.
Neither of us knew what to say.
Because after all the rumors.
After all the articles.
After all the gossip.
After all the speculation.
The truth was somehow even more ridiculous.
There had never been a problem.
And apparently…

Without either of us realizing it…
We were already expecting a baby.

Amber POV
The drive from the clinic should have been simple.
It wasn’t.
Neither Jason nor I spoke as we walked through the private medical center.
The folder containing our results rested inside my bag.
It felt strangely heavy.
Not because of the paper.
Because of what it meant.
A baby.
The thought still didn’t feel real.
My mind kept circling the same words.
Pregnant.
Baby.
Family.
Our baby.
Every time I thought about it, my brain seemed to freeze.
Jason wasn’t doing much better.
He walked beside me in complete silence.
One hand resting protectively against my back.
The elevator doors opened.
We stepped into the lobby.
And immediately regretted it.
Flashes exploded.
Reporters.
Photographers.
Cameras.
Apparently the media had multiplied while we were upstairs.
Wonderful.
Questions came from every direction.

“Mrs. Sun!”
Mr. Sun!”
“Are
“Are the rumors true?”
“Did the tests confirm anything?”
“Are you pursuing fertility treatment?”
“Do you plan to adopt more children?”
“Are you separating?”
I honestly had no idea how those questions were connected.
Neither of us answered.
Jason simply took my hand.
And guided me toward the exit.
The flashes intensified.
Then everything happened at once.
Someone pushed forward.
A woman.
A reporter.
Or maybe just an overly enthusiastic photographer.
