Estella's mouth dropped open, and she looked down at her belly before looking back up at Caden with a shrug, mostly because she didn't know what to say. Well--she knew that it didn't really hurt (it was more annoying than anything), but it was the fact that he had asked and it seemed like he wanted to know. He wanted to know about something that had to do with the baby? That was---she felt her chest swell with happiness (an extremely opposite feeling from a few minutes ago).
"No, it's not bad," she said, all the while reaching out for him. Estella grabbed onto Caden's wrist and pulled him closer, pressing his hand to the spot of the last kicks. Come on, little Flint, you need to perform right now.
Estella felt herself flush with pride as the baby continued to kick, and she watched Caden's face for a reaction. This was it, if she wanted to be honest with herself. This was the deal breaker, she was sure. If Caden didn't react positively, Estella didn't know how she would make it through the rest of this pregnancy. He already knew that she was upset about the secrecy, so if it continued like it had been...she had no idea where they'd end up.
