She didn't see it that way. At all. Paige didn't remember ever feeling less pretty than she did now in all of her life. And it was only going to get worse. It was nice that people complimented her, though.
"Thank you," she accepted with a smile. "It's nice to know some people see that." What really mattered was that Lucas did, and since he made no secret about thinking she still looked beautiful, that really helped. "And I've got to hand it to pregnancy. All this without working for it isn't half bad."
The part where she and Lucas were finally going to be parents was much better, though.
