A small smile crept up at the corner of Elena's lips. This was the first time she was happy to be pregnant, and was genuinely looking forward to meeting her child.

While Elena sat in front of the doctor's desk and listened to her, the nurse got her pregnancy test results, and the pictures from the conducted scan ready.
