that she take it easy when they weren't together, and he had set up an entire room just for her relaxation. He had installed a large leather couch and a bookcase filled with her favorite novels into a small cozy room at the front of the house. A big snugly white blanket completed the room, and she had spent many hours reading and bird watching out the window, her feet tucked happily under the warm cover.
    She loved her time spent in her cozy reading area, especially when Isaac came in to sit with her. They’d talk and laugh, sharing deeper secrets as time went on. He became not just a lover but a friend. The connection she had felt when they first touched only grew into something stronger and more comforting.
    Overall, life was very good. The only real difficulty she had was dealing with her feelings of guilt towards the other staff members. She felt weird taking tea from the others maids or eating fancy dinners with Isaac knowing the rest of the staff were just on the other side of the door. However, the butler and the cook had both pulled her aside and assured her that everyone had nothing but happiness for her and loved having her brightness around the house. Even so, she tried to be as little trouble as possible to everyone.
    When the end of the next month came and went with no sign of a period, Lillian went out to buy a pregnancy exam by herself, being too shy to ask someone else to buy it. And as she stood in the bathroom looking down at the little stick, she didn't dare call anyone for support. She just stared at the test alone, waiting for the little blue lines to appear.
    "Fingers crossed," she whispered, looking at her watch. Five minutes left.
    She was excited to see what the outcome would be, but there was also a knot of concern in her gut. She wasn't sure why she felt apprehension, but as she held the little white stick in her hand, her shoulders felt tight and drawn.
    Slowly, a blue line appeared. Then a second.
    "Oh my god, I'm pregnant!"
    As the words left her lips, the weight of her decision hit her. She was growing a new life. With her boss! All of a sudden, her earlier apprehension made sense. She realized that once she gave birth, Isaac may whisk the baby away to fancy schools, and she'd never see their child again. She also might never see Isaac again - after all, she would have fulfilled her duty. Once he got the inheritance, would he need anything else from his awkward little maid? The thought of never laying in his bed again made her heart numb.
    There was a sharp knock on the door to the bedroom, and she quickly got up and fumbled out of the bathroom. She was halfway across the room when the bedroom door swung open, and Isaac barged in, looking divinely handsome in a well-cut white suit.
    "I'm heading to the club for lunch, and I thought you might want to join me?" he asked, crossing quickly to her.
    She just stared at him dumbly, her mind a jumble of emotions. She certainly didn't want food, not when it felt like her whole world was spinning out of control; in fact, she was pretty sure she was going to throw up.
    "Is everything ok, Lil?"
    She nodded weakly, and then held out her hand, the pregnancy test nestled in her palm. Isaac grabbed it and stared for a long second. Then he looked up at her, excitement and pride lighting up his eyes.
    "Does this mean what I think it means?" She nodded again, and Isaac quickly scooped her up for a hug. He spun her around, kissing her on the nose. But just as quickly he stopped and set her on her feet. "Oh, maybe I shouldn't do that. I don't know what's safe right now. Do you feel ok? Do you feel sick yet?"
    She shook her head and moved to sit down on the bed. "No, I think it's too early for morning sickness. I took the earliest possible test, and we'll have to go to the doctor to confirm it and everything."
    "Of course. I'll get someone to set that up. And I'll go with you to every appointment." He sat next to her on the bed and grabbed her hand in his. He beamed
