Connections can be a challenge. They will inquire around, and eventually, they will discover your address. If they come to your home seeking trouble, send Sonny to me. Do not allow them to intimidate him.
It had been some time since Hank and Jessica had become intimate, yet there was still no sign of change in Jessica’s belly. His mother kept muttering about Jessica’s infertility in his presence, which infuriated Hank. He felt that Jessica and he had only been together for a short time, not nearly a decade. Any concerns about infertility would be valid only after eight to ten years of marriage.
Nonetheless, some couples do not have children until many years into their marriage. Hank recalled a janitor at his company who had married at nineteen but never conceived. She tried various supplements, but nothing worked. Eventually, the couple decided to adopt a little girl who had been abandoned. A few years later, they adopted a son; he was the youngest from a family that already had several boys, and they felt it was not worth raising him.
However, after twenty years, when the janitor was thirty-nine, she unexpectedly discovered she was pregnant. Having long given up on the idea of motherhood, she initially thought she was suffering from a terminal illness as her belly began to grow. In tears, she confessed to her husband that she believed she was dying.
He took her to the doctor, who delivered the shocking news: she was pregnant. She could hardly believe it. Married at nineteen, she finally conceived at thirty-nine. When her daughter was born, her adopted daughter was already married, and her adopted son was in high school. Both of her adopted children were devoted to their adoptive mother. Tragically, her husband passed away a few years after their daughter arrived.
The adopted children assisted her in raising their younger sister, and the family was thriving. Her biological daughter no longer needed to stress about school, as her adopted son was an excellent student and skilled at making money. He was already earning a living while still attending university.
With her son looking after her young daughter, the mother felt at ease. To keep herself occupied and earn some extra cash, she found a cleaning job.
Naturally, Hank did not want him and Jessica to wait twenty years to have children. If that were to happen, his parents and sister, who were already unhappy with Jessica, would undoubtedly cause a scene.
