After one month of meeting with Dub at the hotel that night, Linda couldn't contain her excitement when she found out that she was pregnant with Dub's baby.

She was over the moon, and couldn't wait to start planning for their future together.

But she knew that she had to be careful. Dub was still recovering from the drug that had affected his memory, so she decided to keep the news to herself for the time being and to focus on taking care of herself and her unborn child.

She made sure to eat healthy foods, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly. She also started reading up on pregnancy and childbirth and began planning for the baby's arrival.

As the weeks went by, Linda became increasingly protective of her baby. She didn't want anyone to know about the pregnancy, not even her friends.

    One evening, as Amelia and Suzy sat in the Williams living room, sipping tea, Suzy opened up about her doubts regarding Scott, her suitor."Amelia," she began hesitantly, "I'm just not sure about Scott. He's so different from the guys I usually date. He's quiet and reserved... I don't know if he's the right fit for me."Amelia listened carefully, her heart going out to her sister. She could see the uncertainty in Suzy's eyes, but she also saw the love that shone through when Suzy spoke about Scott."Suzy," Amelia said gently, "sometimes, we have to look beyond the surface to see the beauty within.

It's a look of pure adoration."Suzy sighed, torn between her feelings for Scott and her uncertainty. "I guess I just need some reassurance.
