Shake off those thoughts, Quincy thought as the car neared the hospital.


    She made her way straight to the agreed-upon doctor''s office and knocked on the door.


    Dr. Quincy knew well - a former college buddy who''d spent years abroad before recently returning to start her practice. "Quincy! It''s been ages, and look at you, more beautiful than ever. There''s this grace about you that just shines through." That had always been Quincy''s way.


    Her smile was serene and gentle, as if she was eternally untouched by the harshness of the world.


    "Oh, stop it..." Flustered by thepliment, Quincy took a seat, "I''m here to get a check-up, we''re nning on starting a family."


    The doctor nodded, inevitably curious, "Did youe alone? Where''s your husband?"


    nning for a baby usually meant she was married.


    "He''s...he''s swamped with work! And, well, we''re not married yet, but it''s happening soon. I asked him toe, but it felt awkward."


    The doctor chuckled, "Landing a gorgeous wife like you, your fiancé is one lucky man!"


    "Not at all, he''s pretty remarkable himself."


    Hastily, Quincy pulled out her phone to show a sneaky snapshot she''d taken of Everett.


    "This is him."


    Taking the phone, the doctor admired the photo, "Wow, he''s handsome! Looks like a movie star. You two are quite the pair!"


    "He''s not a celebrity." Quincy wanted to borate on Everett''s status but decided against it, fearing it might lead to future requests for favors, "He''s in business." "You''re blushing! You''ve got that newlywed glow."


    "We have to tie the knot at some point, I can''t stay single forever."


    "That''s true."


    The examination went smoothly, covering all necessary bases.


    "Your health is excellent, no issues at all! Just keep track of your ovtion, that''s all we can predict for now." The doctor whispered, "I noticed...um...you''ve not been intimate?"


    Quincy''s cheeks turned scarlet as she nodded.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "That first time might be a bit painful."


    "Oh, stop it!" She felt her face burning up.


    After chatting a bit more, Quincy left the hospital and sent a photo to Everett.


    I should be ovting in about three to four days. Just had a check-up, everything is healthy.


    Everett was watching a movie with Dorothy when Quincy''s message arrived.


    His phone was on silent.


    He didn''t notice the vibration, but Dorothy did.


    "Your phone."


    "Let me check."


    Everett dimmed his phone to avoid disturbing others.


    Reading the message, his brow furrowed in disgust. Dorothy, peeking over, smirked instead.


    It wasn''t until the movie ended and they were leaving the theater that Everett confronted her, "You see


    another woman trying to seduce me and youugh instead of getting jealous?"


    "Well, it''s not like you''re actually going to sleep with her, why should I be jealous?"


    "You should be jealous! It means you care."


    Dorothy quickly agreed, "Okay, okay,


    I''m seriously going through with this n


    OS! Everett, are you
