Until Bastien offered me to be his contract mate. When 3 years contract comes to the end, I am pregnant. Yet, he's going to reject me. --- "I'm going to be a mother!" I breathe in blissful disbelief. I can't wait to tell Bastien. I've been grinning like a fool ever since leaving the doctor's office and practiced sharing the news while I drove.

But when I leave to give him freedom, he goes crazy looking for me. When we meet again, he says he loves me.
