Before our wedding, my fiancé gave his first love a child.

At a private Moretti family dinner, Elena—who grew up beside Dominic—announces she is carrying a Moretti child. Claire, Dominic's partner of seven years, has always accepted his refusal to have children. Then Dominic admits the lie was the second claim, and Elena explains it was artificial insemination at a private clinic; she only wanted a child of her own.

Elena produces a marriage license she and Dominic obtained that day, saying it is only for hospital and insurance paperwork and will be dissolved once the baby is born. Dominic insists the wedding next month goes ahead as planned. Later he hands Claire a revised prenup that still forbids children, then leaves to check on Elena.

At the wedding banquet tasting, Elena calls Dominic's mother Mom and receives a welcome gift ten times what Claire was promised. Dominic strikes Claire's father's chosen dish from the menu for Elena's sake, and Claire must decide what seven years of waiting truly mean.
