“I’ll be there,” she said without even knowing the date.
“Okay, I have to go. Text me your address.”Did my mom know how to text? I’m sure one of Stanley’s children could show her.
“I love you.”
“I… love you, too. Bye.” I hung up before she responded.
“Well, that sounded interesting.” Nicole chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. “Interesting is right. I need to call Bailee.” I found her in my contacts and hit the call button.
Without a hello, Bailee said, “She called you?”
“Why did you tell her I was getting married?”
“It slipped. She started asking me when I was going to have kids and I panicked and said you were getting married and was going to be first.”
I looked to Nicole as I spoke. “She called to see whenyouwere going to have kids?” Nicole’s eyes widened.
“Yep,” Bailee confirmed.
“You just got out of college. How does she expect you to be ready?”
“I don’t know. Probably because you haven’t yet, and you’re older.”
“Because we’re not like her and don’t go around sleeping with anyone willing to be our Sugar Daddy.”
“Just ignore her.”
“I would have if you never opened your big mouth,” I hissed. “Now she wants to come to the wedding.”
“You’ll be fine. We’ll make sure the wedding isn’t about her.”
“I haven’t seen her in over four years, and now she wants back into our lives?” I questioned out loud, but really it should have been more of a statement because I knew the answer.
“Everything will be fine. Hell, this Stanley guy might give you money.”
I chuckled and shook my head. “If he’s still around.”
“Everything will be fine and then you can pop out those kids like she wants. Wait, did you get your test results?”
I smiled. “I just got them before she called.”
“And?”
“And, I’m all clear.”
“I knew it!” Bailee exclaimed. “Go out and celebrate tonight, and don’t worry about mom. It will all work out. Hell, make a baby tonight. You’ll have it after the wedding.”
I laughed. “You’re silly. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Love you, sis.”
“Love you, too. Bye.”
“Bye,” she said, and the call ended.
“I don’t even know what to say,” Nicole stated, shaking her head slowly as though she was trying to search for what to say.
