“Can I tell you a secret?” Helena looked around the teacher’s lounge to make sure only her and Gina were there.
“Sure, the others at the pregnancy group says keeping secrets is bad for the baby.” Gina said sagely rubbing her own growing belly.
“It’s… not my husbands.” Helena said with a blush as she touched her own swollen stomach.
“No way!” Gina gasped. “It’s not Michael’s? But you’ve been trying for years!”
“Yeah and nothing was working.” Helena said. “We have him tested and he can’t have babies.”
“Awww, I’m so sorry to hear that… so artificial? or… someone else?” Gina asked a bit of suspicion making its way into her voice.
“Someone else.” Helena blushed.
“Surely not a student?”
“How- how did you know?” Helena gasped shocked.
“It was Henry wasn’t it?” Gina said and Helena went completely white.
“Does- does everyone know?” Helena stammered horrified.
Gina just shook her head and took Helena’s hand, placing it on Gina’s stomach. “You’re not the only one with a secret.”
