Chapter 8

Blake

I t was 2023 and Blake had no idea why she was waiting at the post office with a literal printed script to send off to a director. She’d been able to email every other director, but the last one wanted a physical copy. That meant Blake and Harper had spent their Saturday morning going from the office supply store to print the script, to the post office to mail it. Harper sighed beside her.

“I thought you said we were going to get breakfast?”

“We will as soon as we’re done here. I promise.”

Another sigh.

Blake felt her frustration. The post office apparently only had one employee working on Saturday morning and their current customer had a load of packages to ship. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a list of errands she needed to run or anything.

She and Harper had left Alexis asleep at home to have a mother-daughter breakfast together. They had been trying to do more with Harper so she didn’t feel left out with the babies expecting to arrive in only a few months. Alexis was determined to make it to thirty-seven weeks, which means she had just over three months to go. So far she’d had no complications and the babies were developing perfectly.

The only hiccup was their housing situation. They had tried to find a house that worked for them, but the housing inventory in the Cove was low. Which was why Blake and Alexis had decided to build a home on Isla and Vera’s land. It all seemed to fall perfectly into place once they found the perfect architect who drew up the plans for their dream home and the contractor was getting to work on building their dream home by November.

That was all the good news. The bad news was the house wouldn’t be ready until after the babies were born, barring any more unforeseen setbacks. Blake had paid the construction crew extra to have it done in a timely manner without cutting corners. So far, everything had relatively stayed on schedule and they would hopefully be moved into their new home by Thanksgiving. They’d just have to survive the ever-shrinking apartment until then.

Alexis had already packed several boxes of Harper’s old toys and clothes and stored them in Isla’s garage. They’d rearranged the furniture in their bedroom to accommodate a crib, but Blake didn’t know where they’d put them after the babies outgrew it. That was a bridge they’d have to cross whenever they got there.

“Next,” the postal worker called out to Blake. She quickly got her script sent off and bought Harper some stamps for her collection. “Thank you.”

“Thanks.”

Taking Harper’s hand, they walked down Main Street to Carlson’s Cafe. It had become a Saturday morning hangout spot for her and Harper since Alexis had no interest in breakfast these days. Although her morning sickness had been gone for weeks, she preferred to eat toast more than anything. On the other hand, Blake and Harper loved the huge breakfast they could get at Carlson’s.
