The entire room is still and silent.
Thea, seemingly annoyed by our stunned reactions, snaps, “Did you hear me? I’m pregnant! Where’s my congratulations, Esther? Where’s the joy, Garnar? Don’t you want to be a dad again? Are our kids not good enough for you?”
Garnar springs to life at once. He rushes forward and takes Thea in his arms. “That’s so wonderful, darling! I’m so happy.”
I watch them, not totally sure if I believe her yet. “Do our parents know?” I ask.
Thea looks at me, then quickly back to Garnar, ignoring me entirely. “I knew you’d be happy…”
They start kissing, and then start making out, hands getting grabby. My stomach twists in revulsion and I quickly spirit myself away, retreating back to my room. Once I enter, I lock the door behind me.
God, I hope I never in my life
