“Because it’s the best,” I admit. It wasn’t easy for me when I had Hazel, but I wouldn’t change it. Not any of it.
“Shh!” Tinsley cries. “You’re going to make my ovaries pop, and I am in no place to have my ovaries doing that.”
“How are you doing with the newborn?” I ask Sorel.
“Great, actually,” she says. “I sleep more than I was expecting to since Mason and I have been trading off getting up with Nolan.”
“That’s amazing. My ex did nothing when Hazel was born.”
“That had to be rough,” Katy states with a frown.
I shrug. “I guess.”
“Had you been together long?”
I shake my head at Kenna. “No. We’d only been dating a little more than a month when we found out I was pregnant. Far from ideal.”
“Well, she looks exactly like you. Absolutely beautiful.”
I smile at Keegan. “Yes. Thanks. She is.”
“Wait, Katy told me you want to be an OB nurse, right? I’m the OB.” Keegan waves her arms in the air. “Ignore the brace. I broke my wrist and get this puppy off next week. When is your OB rotation?”
“I already had it. That was my second rotation. I only have another year left.”
“Awesome!” Wren is just as excited. “I graduate this spring. It’s so wild how fast it goes.”
I smile, but for me, it doesn’t feel fast enough.
“When you graduate, find me and I’ll get you a job,” Keegan tells me, then waves me away. “Wait, you’re living with Vander. I mean, you’re here with him. We’ll definitely see you.”
Cue that damn blush and an odd nervous giggle I swear I’ve never made before in my life.
“Oh, shit. What’s that?”
It would be nice if Katy didn’t see everything.
“Just sounds weird saying that. I mean, it’s not like we’re living together living together and it’s not like I’m here with him here with him. I was in the park, and he saw me. Besides, I’m hoping to move out next month once I get a few more paychecks under my belt.”
And that was way too much information.
I’m getting a lot of sets of eyes all looking at me as if they can see right through me. Which they probably can.
A point they prove when Wren asks, “Be honest now. Is he as amazing in bed as he looks like he’d be?”
“Oh my god!” I screech and cover my face with my hands. “I am not answering that.”
“So is this new or old info?” Kenna picks up.
“I’m thinking it’s new by all of this.” Sorel swirls a finger around me. “But I never want to assume.”
“I’m gonna assume and I’m also gonna say that’s a hell yes he is,” Tinsley quips, and I want to die. Like I want the floor to open up and swallow me whole. How did this happen?
“Girl, none of us blame you,” Estlin states, sipping on a bourbon and twirling a colorful strand of hair around her finger. “He’s sexy and mysterious. Like Sorel said, if I weren’t married to Owen and totally in love with him, I’d let him lock me in his basement. He seems like a red room kind of guy.”
“Oh my God!” Wren cackles. “Totally.”
I start gulping down my wine and shove a raspberry oatmeal bar into my mouth. They’re really freaking good, and I immediately grab another.
