How You Treat A Pregnant Woman Quotes

I wish you’d told me this before.” “It wouldn’t have changed anything.” “Maybe not. But talking about wounds can help heal them.” “You don’t talk about yours,” she pointed out. He sat down on the sofa facing her and leaned forward. “But I do,” he said seriously. “I talk to you. I’ve never told anyone else about the way my father treated us. That’s a deeply personal thing. I don’t share it. I can’t share it with anyone but you.” “I’m part of your life,” she said heavily, smoothing her hair back again. “Neither of us can help that. You were my comfort when Mama died, my very salvation when my stepfather hurt me. But I can’t expect you to go on taking care of me. I’m twenty-five years old, Tate. I have to let you go.” “No, you don’t.” He caught her wrists and pulled her closer. He was more solemn than she’d ever seen him. “I’m tired of fighting it. Let’s find out how deep your scars ago. Come to bed with me, Cecily. I know enough to make it easy for you.” She stared at him blankly. “Tate…” She touched his lean cheek hesitantly. He was offering her paradise, if she could face her own demons in bed with him. “This will only make things worse, whatever happens.” “You want me,” he said gently. “And I want you. Let’s get rid of the ghosts. If you can get past the fear, I won’t have anyone else from now on except you. I’ll come to you when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when the world falls on me. I’ll lie in your arms and comfort you when you’re sad, when you’re frightened. You can come to me when you need to be held, when you need me. I’ll cherish you.” “And you’ll make sure I never get pregnant.” His face tautened. “You know how I feel about. I’ve never made a secret of it. I won’t compromise on that issue, ever.” She touched his long hair, thinking how beautiful he was, how beloved. Could she live with only a part of him, watch him leave her one day to marry another woman? If he never knew the truth about his father, he might do that. She couldn’t tell him about Matt Holden, even to insure her own happiness. He glanced at her, puzzled by the expression on her face. “I’ll be careful,” he said. “And very slow. I won’t hurt you, in any way.” “Colby might come back…” He shook his head. “No. He won’t.” He stood up, pulling her with him. He saw the faint indecision in her face. “I won’t ask for more than you can give me,” he said quietly. “If you only want to lie in my arms and be kissed, that’s what we’ll do.” She looked up into his dark eyes and an unsteady sigh passed her lips. “I would give…anything…to let you love me,” she said huskily. “For eight long years…!” His mouth covered the painful words, stilling them.

One more story from the Bible, about King David. He slept with a married woman, Bathsheba, and got her pregnant. In order to cover up his transgression, David arranged for Bathsheba’s husband, a soldier, to die in battle. David then took Bathsheba as his own wife. God sent a prophet named Nathan to let David know this behavior was unacceptable. But how does a lowly prophet go about imparting such a message to the king of Israel? Nathan told him a story. He described to David two men, one rich and one poor. The rich man had huge flocks of animals; the poor man had just one little lamb, whom he treated like a member of his family. One day a traveler came through. The rich man, Nathan told King David, was happy to feed the traveler but he didn’t want to take a sheep from his own flock. So he took the poor man’s only lamb, killed it, and served it to the traveler. The story enrages David: “The man who did this deserves to die,” he says. “That man,” Nathan tells him, “is you.” Case closed. Nathan didn’t berate David with rules—Hey, don’t covet your neighbor’s wife! Hey, don’t kill! Hey, don’t commit adultery!—even though David had broken all of them. He just told a story about a lamb. Very persuasive.

Vianne had been so helpless after Maman’s death. When Papa had sent them away, to live in this small town, beneath the cold, stern eyes of a woman who had shown the girls no love, Vianne had … wilted. In another time, she might have shared with Isabelle what they had in common, how undone she’d been by Maman’s death, how Papa’s rejection had broken her heart. Or how he treated her at sixteen when she’d come to him, pregnant and in love … and been slapped across the face and called a disgrace. How Antoine had pushed Papa back, hard, and said, I’m going to marry her. And Papa’s answer: Fine, she’s all yours. You can have the house. But you’ll take her squalling sister, too. Vianne closed her eyes. She hated to think about all of that; for years, she’d practically forgotten it. Now, how could she push it aside? She had done to Isabelle exactly what their father had done to them. It was the greatest regret of Vianne’s life.

Drink some water and rest for a bit before we go on. I’m amazed that a woman in your condition could make this hike at all.” She followed my suggestion, but as she worked her way down the steep path, she asked me, “So you are one of those men who think pregnancy is a ‘diseased state’? You can’t even bring yourself to say ‘pregnant,’ can you?” “I was afraid you’d consider it rude.” Even to myself, I sounded priggish. Tires and scared as she was, she still managed a small laugh. “It’s only rude because you think how I got this way is something shameful. Well-bred women shouldn’t be pregnant. Isn’t that true?” I thought over her words, and then had to laugh with her. “You make me think about how I think about things, Epiny. You’re one of the few people in my life who can make me do that.” “If we both live through this, I intend to do a lot more of it. At this rate, I fear I will never have time to scold you properly for how badly you treated me by concealing that you were still alive. I want you to know I’m putting it off until it’s more convenient. I have not forgiven you.” “There, through those trees—see it? That’s the stream.” I forced myself to add. “I probably don’t deserve to be forgiven for that. I don’t expect it.” She halted for an instant and then stumped her way down to the stream, complaining as she went. “And that is probably the only thing you could have said that would make me instantly forgive you, no matter how much you deserve to endure my disdain and contempt for, well, at least months!

Plot Synopsis Here’s a summary of the core storyline of From Abandoned Wife To Powerful Heiress: The protagonist, Charlotte Jennings, is the pregnant, happy wife of tech mogul Gabe Sullivan. At a glamorous charity gala she organised, her world collapses: a reporter’s screen announces that Gabe and his childhood sweetheart (Harper) are expecting a child. Across the room, Charlotte sees them together, his hand on her stomach — public confirmation of betrayal. She and the unborn baby are effectively erased. To protect the company’s billion-dollar IPO, Gabe, his mother and even Charlotte’s adoptive parents conspire against her: they move Harper into her home/bed, treat Charlotte as if she were the outsider, lock her in a room and demand she terminate her pregnancy. Facing abandonment and betrayal, Charlotte reaches out to her biological father, Antony Dean—a powerful, shadowy figure who can make her husband’s world burn. From that moment begins her transformation: from the betrayed wife to the powerful heiress she was always meant to become. Themes & Why It Resonates 1. Betrayal and the collapse of trust In From Abandoned Wife To Powerful Heiress, the initial betrayal sets the tone: Charlotte trusted her husband, she trusted the life they built, and in one public moment it all disintegrates. The betrayal is not private—it is broadcast, symbolic of how power and image can destroy personal lives. 2. Identity and reclamation The journey in From Abandoned Wife To Powerful Heiress is as much about reclaiming self as it is about revenge. Charlotte is cast aside, labelled as unstable and unfit—but she fights to reclaim her name, her unborn child, her right to be heard. The “heiress” in the title is two-fold: heir to her father’s power and heir to her own identity.
