The appointment had been on the calendar for weeks.
Long before the hearing.
Long before the investigation exploded.
Long before hospital visits, attorneys, witness statements, and university meetings became part of their daily lives.
And somehow—
With everything that had happened—
Neither Emma nor Abigail had really thought about it.
Not properly.
The pregnancy had become something they checked in on.
Something they worried about.
Something they protected.
But they hadn't gotten to enjoy it.
Not really.
Every conversation seemed to get interrupted by another crisis.
Every exciting moment got pushed aside by another emergency.
Until now.
For the first time in months, they were driving to an appointment for a happy reason.
And that realization alone felt emotional.
Emma sat in the passenger seat while Abigail drove.
Per doctor's orders.
Or rather—
Family orders.
After the passing out incident, nobody trusted Emma behind the wheel for long distances.
Emma found this deeply offensive.
Everyone else found it reasonable.
Abigail was somewhere in the middle.
"You're enjoying this."
Emma pointed accusingly.
Abigail laughed.
"A little."
"I knew it."
"You got put on house arrest."
"It wasn't house arrest."
"It absolutely was."
Emma folded her arms.
"They took my freedom."
Abigail laughed so hard she almost missed a turn.
By the time they arrived at the medical office, both women were smiling.
Relaxed.
For once.
The waiting room felt strangely peaceful.
No attorneys.
No administrators.
No investigators.
Just families.
Expecting parents.
Children.
Normal life.
The kind of normal life both of them desperately needed.
Emma reached over and took Abigail's hand.
Immediately.
Like she always did.
Abigail squeezed back.
The nervousness was different today.
