"Everything is perfectly fine," Dr. Winlow said to them as he alternated between looking at the screen and the girl. "In the ultrasound, we can see that everything is developing well, and the other tests show favorable results. Maybe you'd like to schedule your monthly appointments, or I don't know if you prefer to go to Seattle. They have better equipment there."

Lydia smiled, still holding Carlisle's hand. She couldn't quite believe it yet and remained more than excited. However, the mention of Seattle almost made her roll her eyes. Her sister and brother-in-law were there. For no reason would she approach them, even if it were her only option.

"I'll take care of the follow-up, Dr. Winlow. It's just that Lydia wanted a second opinion," she said, almost chuckling with amusement. The paranoid one was Carlisle, although he would never admit it.

"It's just that Carlisle is a bit anxious and needed someone else to tell him that everything was fine for him to truly believe it," Lydia continued, still looking at the screen. "Thank you very much, Dr. Winlow."

The man smiled tenderly as he looked at the first-time parents. They weren't the first ones to arrive almost in shock.

"I understand. It's normal to feel a bit panicked during the first pregnancy, but I can assure you that everything is going wonderfully," he said, removing the transducer, and that was when Lydia stopped looking at the small screen. "In a minute, I'll give you the photo of your first ultrasound."

The girl nodded excitedly as she watched the doctor leave the office. Carlisle squeezed her hand a little tighter.

"You're almost three months along," he spoke softly with a small smile. "I remember we were in Spain. Our first stop in Europe."

Lydia nodded and got up from the examination table, adjusting her clothes. Carlisle helped her put on her coat, and they finally left the office. They walked through the halls of the small hospital, earning certain looks from the staff. As soon as they entered Dr. Winlow's office, many guessed what was happening.

Dr. Knox and Dr. Cullen were going to have a baby. But since neither had said anything about it, no one dared to congratulate them on the new addition to their family.

They both arrived at the parking lot after being handed the ultrasound photo. Carlisle opened the passenger door and helped Lydia get in, then he got in, and they headed to the Cullen residence. Lydia stared at the photo with a smile as the car moved.

"Evander has been researching a bit, but he says there's nothing. Nothing like this has ever happened before, but he says he'll keep investigating with some of his acquaintances," Carlisle said, placing a hand on Lydia's leg. "Vampires aren't supposed to conceive, and I don't have a clear answer for this."
