As I stepped into the office that morning, I felt excited. Maybe it was the bright sun or the thought that I could officially call myself Aiden’s friend. It could even be because, for the first time, it wasn’t my annoying alarm that woke me up. Whatever the reason, I felt ready to handle anything that came my way. However, I didn't know that my day would begin with a burst of energy named Grace.
"Claire! Claire, you have to help me!" Grace's voice echoed through the office before I even had a chance to sit down.
I looked up from my desk and saw her marching toward me, her face flushed with anger and frustration. "Good morning, Grace. What's going on?"
Grace plopped down in the chair opposite mine, looking like she was ready to explode. "It's Alex. We had a huge fight. He thinks the baby isn't his!"
I blinked, trying to keep my professional composure while my thoughts raced. "Wait, what? You're pregnant?"
