I plant my feet and refuse to move. “But Aurora? How is she getting home?”

“We got her,” Leia says as she walks past with Indigo, Virginia, and Mercy on her heels.

“I really don’t know what I did wrong,” I say as I allow Gibson to herd me away.

“I know.” He slaps my back. “We’ll figure this out.”

Chapter 33

Idiot – the nicest word Aurora can think of to describe Jett

Aurora

“Jett is getting a ride home with Cash,” Leia explains as she switches on the engine of Fender’s Hummer.

“I really don’t care,” I mumble as I fasten my seatbelt.

As soon as I kicked Jett out of the room, Leia, Mercy, Virginia, and Indigo invaded. They helped me get dressed and ushered me to the car without any questions asked.

I have a feeling my time is limited, though. Indigo is practically bouncing in her seat. The questions will burst from her any second now.

“How are you feeling?” Leia asks as she begins the drive back to Winter Falls.

“Like a fool.”

She pats my arm. “There’s no need. Every pregnant woman has overreacted at some point. I was convinced I was in labor with Isla a month early. When I arrived at the hospital, they barely looked at me before announcing I wasn’t in labor and ordering me home.”

“I’ll probably do that three times. At least,” Virginia pipes in from the backseat.

“Thank you for the reassurances but I’m not feeling like a fool because I thought I was losing the baby.”

Indigo peeks her head between the seats. “Why do you feel like a fool then?”

“I walked right into that, didn’t I?”

“You did,” Mercy says. “But if you don’t want to answer any questions, let me know. I can hogtie Indigo to the backseat.”

Indigo snorts. “I’d like to see you try. You don’t have anything to hogtie me with.”

Mercy chuckles. “The seatbelt will work just fine.”

“Why are you being mean to me?” Indigo whines.

“Maybe because you’re being super nosy,” Virginia answers.

“I prefer the word inquisitive.”

“Snoop,” Virginia accuses.

“Meddlesome,” Mercy corrects.

“Intrusive.”

“Busybody.”

Leia sighs. “They could continue for hours.”

“Did they bring a dictionary with them?” I ask.
