An Explanation

Wendy was not used to seeing Michael like this.

She did not expect a such drastic change in a. man who had told her that she was not fit to bear his child just four months ago. He was so ecstatic and cautious with her now that he knew that she was pregnant. 

As she reached out to touch her belly, she felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest. If

Michael genuinely liked and was willing to accept this child, perhaps that might be a good thing for her. Or at least, it would be good for their baby. Of course, this was all predicated on the condition that Michael broke things off with Yvonne completely. 

When they were in the car, Wendy could not help but ask again, "Michael, do you really accept this child?"

Michael understood that her repeated questioning must be due to the trauma that he had caused her in the past. He understood why she was afraid that he might not want this child.
