Anna tensed. “Are they okay?”
“Their vitals at birth were perfect,” the nurse assured. “But the doctors want to be sure. And… they’ll want to talk to you too.”
As soon as she left, Anna whispered, “What do you think they’re saying out there? They probably think I cheated on you…”
I squeezed her hand. “That doesn’t matter. They’re just trying to figure it out. Same as us.”
