TimeNovelChapter 872
"Our plan to keep the pregnancy stable is working great!"
"The doctor said everything looks good. The baby is doing just fine!"
"In just a few months, you'll get to meet your first great-grandchild!"
Fleur grinned proudly. "And he'll be your only great-grandchild, too!"
"But are you sure her baby's really okay? Didn't Callie mention there were sissues last time?"
Eamon frowned. "If she needed bed rest, that usually means something's not right with the baby. Sometimes you
just have to let nature take its course, you know? Don't force it."
"No, | think Callie must've misread something!"
"We had all the tests done, and the doctor said everything's perfectly healthy!"
“Bed rest is just routine-nothing special or extreme!"
Fleur shot Calliope a sharp look, obviously annoyed.
Calliope glanced over at Yvette, who was tically cradling her still-flat belly, really playing up the whole
"expectant mom” act.
Yvette didn't look too happy.
To Calliope, it was pretty obvious Yvette's condition was a result of forcing the pregnancy along-never a good
sign.
She doubted this baby would be born healthy; there was a real chance things could go wrong.
But Fleur wouldn't listen, and there wasn't much Calliope could do.
Still, the thought of a baby being brought into the world only to suffer tugged at her
heart. She couldn't help but gently say, "You know, regular check-ups are

They might ignore her, but surely they'd listen to their doctor, right?
"Don't worry, we're not skipping appointments!"
"Of course we'll listen to the doctor. You really don't need to worry so much!"
Fleur's tone was icy.
Calliope just gave her a look and dropped the subject. No point arguing.
At dinner, the mood lightened. Everyone chatted and laughed over roast chicken and mashed potatoes.
Afterward, Calliope played a gof chess with Eamon—and beat him.
He grumbled, "You're really something, kid. Always so sharp. | give up! Let Silas play withfor a bit!"
Calliope couldn't help but laugh. He was the one who insisted she try her best, but now that she'd won, he was a
little sulky.
Leaving them to their game, she wandered out to the backyard to play with Storm, the family's chunky golden
retriever.
Storm had been staying with Eamon lately, and was definitely packing on the pounds.
"Storm, you've gotten way too

"Woof!" Storm wagged his tail, as if protesting.
"Seriously even if you eat a lot, you
need to exercise more!" Calliope
said, her voice playful. "Grandpa
can't keep up with you, so you'd better run around the yard yourself, okay?" s
"If you don't, I'll have to put you through boot camp!" she warned, giving him a mock-stern look.
Storm's eyes widened; his tail froze mid-wag. He clearly remembered what "boot camp" meant.
"Didn't realize the Jewell family put you through that kind of stuff," ca voice from behind.
She turned to find Gideon standing there, watching her intently.
He'd been observing her for a while now, and lately, he found himself missing her more and more.
