The soft glow of the morning sun streamed through the curtains as Ruby finished brushing her hair. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, gently adjusting her blouse over her small bump.
It was still barely noticeable, but she could feel the weight of it, both physically and emotionally. Today felt different. Not just because she was going to the hospital for her routine check-up, but because today, she had made a decision.
Rayna stepped into the room, already dressed and ready, her keys dangling from her fingers. "You ready, Rubes?"
Ruby turned, smiling softly. "Yeah, just need to grab my bag."
They both walked out to the hallway together. As Ruby slipped on her flats, she glanced up at Rayna, curiosity flickering in her eyes. "So... did you talk to him?"
Rayna nodded as she opened the front door. "Yeah. I told him you agreed to meet. We agreed he'd come by this evening."
Ruby chuckled lightly. "Seems he's anxious. Can't even wait until the evening to fix things."
