Chapter 21 A New Life Growing

• Natalie adjusted her scarf as she made her way to the local hospital for her prenatal check-up. The coastal town had brought her a sense of peace and community she hadn't felt in a long time, but today, her thoughts were on the new life growing inside her. She was both excited and nervous about what the future held.

As they strolled down the sunlit streets, Natalie appreciated the older woman's companionship. She had become like a grandmother to Natalie, offering wisdom and comfort when she needed it most.
• "You look radiant, dear," Mrs. Harper said, smiling up at Natalie. "Motherhood suits you."
