The Level of Suspicion is Rising.
Genevieve La Flamme, a close friend of Barbara’s who had just recently given birth to her own set of triplets, was having serious second thoughts about the pregnancy. As a consequence of this, she had a good deal of experience with the challenges that accompany the birth of several children.
She was particularly taken aback by the fact that the ultrasound didn’t indicate the presence of quintuplets until such a late stage of the pregnancy. She thought that the ultrasound would have shown the presence of quintuplets earlier. As a result, she was completely confused by what Barbara had to say.
