Bathing in joy, Austin and Melina celebrated in the following days and arranged an appointment with the doctor for a check-up.
With everyone returning to their normal routines, hidden undercurrents flowed beneath the surface. As they drove to the doctor, both of them had taken a day off and watched the world outside the window.
The scenes of greenery and passing cars unfolded as they entered the highway, accompanied by music playing in the car. The mood was joyful.
Arriving at the gynecologist's office where they had an appointment, they found a nearby parking spot and locked the car.
Melina rested her hand on Austin's arm, a mixture of worry and excitement in her gaze. He felt the same.
"Let's go," he said, and she nodded, taking light steps as they entered the gynecologist's office. They spoke to the secretary, informing her of their appointment.
