Maeve rolled her eyes.“Stop it.You’re not fat.”
Eden sighed.“Do you think there’s a chance I’m carrying twins?”
Maeve frowned.“No, not at all.”
“I’m being serious right now.What if there is a second baby inside me, and I don’t see it?”
Maeve chuckled.“You’ve got one baby.”
“Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”
“I have no idea but I do know it’s going to be spoiled rotten.”She smiled at her sister.
Silence fell between them.
“So, I’ve given you plenty of time to come clean, do I have to be the one to ask all the questions?”Eden asked.
Maeve nibbled her lip, and she couldn’t help her nerves.“What do you want to know?”
“You and Doc?”
“Yeah, I know.”
“You two looked so lost in each other.It took you a second to realize I was even in the room,” Eden said.
Maeve laughed.“I am so sorry about that.I didn’t expect you to come home.”
“Is that what has been happening since I’ve been away?”
“You and Razor went away for your honeymoon, and everything was just ...I don’t know what happened.”
“What happened to Nancy?Does she know?”
“She knows.”
“Was there a fight?Did you have to punch her?”
Maeve shook her head.“No, I didn’t have to punch her.It was all nice and handled without any violence.Nancy’s actually happy for us.”
“And Charlotte?”
“We’ve not told Charlotte yet.We’re waiting until after Easter.”
“Easter?”Eden asked.
“Just in case she’s upset and decides to make it difficult at the fair.You know how kids can get.”Maeve winced.“That sounded awful.”
“It’s okay.I know what you’re trying to say, and you do care about Charlotte.”
“I do.”Maeve sighed.“It’s all a mess right now.”She pouted.“There is so much going on.”
“I saw the way you looked at Doc,” Eden said.“I’ve never seen you look at a man that way before.”
“He’s not like any other man I’ve been with,” Maeve said.She couldn’t keep the smile from her face as she thought about Doc.“Honestly, just being around him makes me feel so happy, so secure, and I know I’m babbling right now.”
Eden laughed.“It’s good to babble.Babble away.We’ve not talked like this in so long.”
“Do you think we should keep Razor and Doc alone together?”
