Miriam, like Blaise's parents, also wasn't buying his story, raising an eyebrow as she looked between the two. Reaching over she placed the back of her hand against her daughter's forehead, as if feeling for a fever. "You don't seem ill, Esther. Normally when you 'come down with something' you're in bed for a week with a fever." She pointed out as she sat back in her chair, looking at her daughter expectantly. She knew Esther was a bad liar, and that she'd cave and tell the truth given the amount of pressure she and his parents were putting on her.
Esther blushed as her mother felt her forehead for a fever, shaking her head a little when she talked about being sick before she looked over at Blaise nervously. She reached for his hand under the table again, squeezing it tightly as she gave him a little nod, letting him know she was ready to tell them and that it was ok for them to talk about it. Biting her lip nervously she turned back to look at her mother and Blaise's parents, clearing her throat a bit awkwardly when her words failed her at first.
"I... We're going to have a baby." She stated simply, squeezing Blaise's hand tightly as she watched for his parents reactions. Her mother's eyes had widened at the news, staring at her daughter with an unreadable expression as she sat back in her seat, remaining silent for the time being.
