Not thrilled! Not thrilled!  \n“I’m confused, Jessica.” He pushed her away and glanced down at her smooth, flat stomach as she tried to stay glued to him. “I haven’t seen you for four months.”  \n“Well, I guess I’m one of those women who don’t show for ages.” She laughed loudly enough for him to hear above the thumping music. “It’s not like I haven’t tried to see you, Fish. You’ve been avoiding me.” She narrowed her eyes and the grin slipped from her mouth.“Why aren’t you smiling?”  \n“I’m in shock… and I’m trying to do the math.” He frowned down at her red lips as they morphed into a thin line.  \nThis was not what I expected when I arrived at work today.  \n“You don’t need to hurt your poor little brain with the math, sweetie. Trust me, this baby is yours.”  \nShe squeezed him tighter as her friend leaned in and spoke into her ear. There was a lull in the music and Fish heard her words loud and clear in the sudden silence. “I thought you said you were only seven or eight weeks pregnant, Jess?”  \n“Woah!” He reached behind him, unhooked her fingers, and backed away.“Guess that rules me out.”  \nJessica glared at her friend and took a step toward him.“I’m definitely farther along than that. The results she’s talking about were from the first test, but I had another one. Come on, Fish, you can’t ignore me!”  \n“Oh, I definitely can, Jessica. You’re trying to convince me you’re having my baby when you clearly are not. Why would you do that?” He pushed her away, not waiting for an answer. Her ploy to trap him was obvious as he retreated toward the office and watched her turn on her girlfriend, eyes flashing.  \nNow that’s a conversation I’m glad to miss.  \nTheir raised voices floated over the loud music as he quickly punched in his security code and pulled open the staff door. The quicker he got away from those two and whatever they’d been up to, the better. The darkness in the corridor blinded him for a moment as his eyes got used to the absence of flashing, ","cbCaioLcxBK1gdBu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioLcxBK1gdBu","pdf",582725,83,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1","[{\"question\":\"What conflict begins in Chapter 1 of Married This Christmas?\",\"answer\":\"Jessica announces she is pregnant and insists the baby is the man’s, but he reacts with shock and anger, questioning her claim and their circumstances.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the man respond to Jessica’s announcement?\",\"answer\":\"He distances himself from her, refuses to engage in the accusation, then escapes toward the staff area to get away from the situation.\"},{\"question\":\"What setting and workplace details are introduced early in the story?\",\"answer\":\"The opening places the characters in a busy bar/club environment with loud music, narrow corridors, limited staff spaces, and backstage areas used for staff breaks and admin work.\"}]",1785399324,128,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"married-this-christmas-tracey-pedersen","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/married-this-christmas-tracey-pedersen/114366/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What conflict begins in Chapter 1 of Married This Christmas?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"Jessica announces she is pregnant and insists the baby is the man’s, but he reacts with shock and anger, questioning her claim and their circumstances.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"How does the man respond to Jessica’s announcement?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"He distances himself from her, refuses to engage in the accusation, then escapes toward the staff area to get away from the situation.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"What setting and workplace details are introduced early in the story?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"The opening places the characters in a busy bar/club environment with loud music, narrow corridors, limited staff spaces, and backstage areas used for staff breaks and admin work.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
