Preston

Awe, buddy. Want to talk about it?

Spencer

Definitely not.

Michelle

So, this twenty question thing. Should I be worried?

Hunter

Definitely.

But don’t worry, I’ll protect you.

Charlotte

I held my own pretty well. I’m sure they can handle it.

Hayden

Anyone want to put wagers on the football games tomorrow?

Duncan

This is great and all, but no one has answered my question about the food.

Preston

Guys, he’s going to fire another assistant if we don’t respond.

Charlotte

Got it!

Hunter

Spencer

Jax

Duncan

Finally. Now, was that so hard?

Chapter

Twenty-Five

Hunter

Thirty-six weeks pregnant

“You know, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful Duncan rented this beautiful space for our baby shower today. But asking a woman this pregnant to drive more than five miles in city traffic should be examined by the Geneva code.”

I meet the alarmed eyes of our ride share driver in the rearview mirror. I shoot him what I hope is a reassuring smile, hoping he bites his tongue about how we’ve only actually traveled a little over two miles. Traffic is awful. Taking the Metro may have been faster, but is not Michelle’s current favorite mode of transportation.
