“I know,” she said.

She did not know how she was going to make it through a pregnancy without losing all of her friends and ruining her family’s reputation.
“And you’re sure it’s m-” he started. She stopped him with a glare. “Right.” He nodded, then finally managed to close his mouth. To say he was stunned was an understatement.
