Georgina raised her head from her bowl of soup and responded with a nod.”Yes. Apparently I’m about eight weeks gone. By the Sixteenth week I’ll be due for another check up and know it’s gender”.

Georgina could see the serious stare on his eyes as he asked again. “Are you excited about it?”. Georgina gave it a brief thought as she took another scoop of her meal before replying. “Surprisingly, yes”. Lorenzo replied. “There is nothing surprising about it. It’s your child.

We don't have any information on him".Lorenzo's gaze softened as he spoke further, his eyes conveying his empathy.

He struggled to explain, not wanting to exacerbate his discomfort.Emma sensed the tension and quickly stepped in to mediate. She interjected, facing Andrea directly, "Don't pay attention to her.
