Early the next morning, Deborah left with her future mother-in-law since the former had asked the latter for help-Caroline would be busy at the salon until the afternoon, Jayden and her father were working on the new hotel project, and George and Elliot were occupied

supervising the jewelry production.

"At last, I have a day with you," Samantha commented as she saw Deborah getting into the vehicle with the help of the driver.

[Yes.] Deborah nodded and thanked the driver with a gesture.

The driver smiled and, after closing the door, returned to his seat to start driving.

"I'm excited to see how this little one is growing," she said, placing her hand on Deborah's belly.

[It's heavy ] Deborah replied.

"It's normal, dear. Soon you won't want to stand up, and I imagine your feet are starting to hurt," she observed, noticing Deborah pouting and nodding. "Don't worry, once we leave the appointment, we'll go to the mall to get you a foot massager and some bath essence so you can pamper yourself at home,"

[I like that idea a lot.] Deborah said.

"And if you can handle the walking, we can browse a few stores."

Deborah smiled as she enjoyed the attention from her mother-in-law.

Amidst their conversation and plans, they arrived at the hospital on time, where the appointment went smoothly, and Samantha was even happy to see the baby on the ultrasound.

On their way out, due to the heat, the driver suggested they go to a nearby café to have a drink while he went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription.

Both women agreed to the suggestion.

"Gosh... it's so hot these days, don't you think?" Samantha commented as she settled into one of the empty tables at the café.

[Quite a bit. That's why I have some flavored ice cubes made with juice ready in the fridge.]

"That's good, dear, especially since you can't get dehydrated because of James," Samantha said just as the waiter arrived with their order. "Thanks. By the way, dear, remind me to order a cold coffee and a sandwich for Jonathan before we leave." Deborah smiled, seeing Samantha's concern for the health of her driver.

While enjoying their time, Samantha asked questions about the preferences and things Deborah would like for James' room, as Samantha had heard that the couple hadn't been able to decorate the baby's room yet due to the trial.

"By the way, do you want any animals in James' room?

Animals?]

"Yeah, like a teddy bear or something." she said with a smile. "When Jayden was a baby, he had a stuffed turtle and a puppy."

[Oh... I was thinking of a decoration with little lions and canaries.] Deborah confessed. [I like those animals, although I know it sounds a bit contradictory

"Debbie, it's your baby. Take this opportunity to impose your preferences because when they grow up, they'll have their own likes and interests," she said, winking. "Excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back; I'm going to the restroom. If you're ordering some cake, get me a slice too."

Deborah nodded and watched as Samantha walked towards the restroom.

Once alone, she took out her phone to check her recent notifications and was just about to send Jayden a message about what the doctor had said.
