I woke up and sat on the bed feeling tired and hopeful that Camilla doesn’t misbehave today. All of a sudden I remembered what happened yesterday and the way she was looking, I was almost sure I saw it clearly but I couldn’t conclude just like that until I am completely sure that she’s really pregnant, but seeing her belly like that made it clear that she was expecting a baby, the look on her face as well, she seemed guilty. “Oh Bella, why are you thinking about that right now, it’s none of your business.” I said to myself trying to convince myself to stop thinking about things that shouldn’t be bothering me. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. When I opened the kids room, I noticed they were still asleep so I thought of leaving them to get enough rest
