Rhapsody

Six weeks later…

“Knock. Knock.” Daniel stood in the doorway of my office.

“Hey! What are you doing here?”

“Just checking on you. How is everything going?”

I rubbed my rounded belly. My little monster was growing faster and faster with each day. Each day the little flutters were becoming stronger and stronger.

“It’s going great now that the morning sickness has subsided.” I took a sip of my decaf coffee.

“Coffee?”

“Decaf. So, why are you really here?” I leaned forward.

“Can’t a friend come check on their friend?”

I sighed. “Yes, but when you come to check on me there is always an ulterior motive. I’ve known you too long, Daniel. What’s up?”

He bit his lip. “I overheard Boswacker talking.”

“And?”

“He’s wondering if you are capable of still working while you’re pregnant. I think he even mentioned going to human resources.”

“He’s such a fucking scumbag.” I ran my hand over the spot where our little monster fluttered.

Daniel smiled. “Pregnancy looks good on you. Softens your hard edges.”

“Did you just call me fat?”

“He didn’t need to. It’s pretty damn obvious from the empty donut box in your trash.” Queen B swung her legs over the edge of the desk while looking at the trashcan.

“What? I didn’t say—” Daniel stumbled over his words.

“What did my idiot husband just say?” A tall statuesque woman stood in the doorway holding the hand of what could only be described as a whirling dervish.

“Izzy!” Standing from my desk, I walked past Daniel. “I didn’t know you were paying us a visit.” Izzy let go of the little dervish’s hand and pulled me into a hug.

“Well, even he didn’t know we would stop by. We were planning on going to the library. Today is fairy tale day.”

“Aunt Rhapsy!” the little girl squealed and launched herself at me.

I caught her easily and settled her on my hip. “How is my little angel doing?”

“More like devil,” Daniel grumbled as he stood next to Izzy.

“Are you acting like your aunt Rhapsody again?” I couldn’t fight the evil smile that curled my lips.

Olivia nodded, giving her a toothless grin.

“We stopped by to see if Daniel wanted to join us during his lunch.”

“I’m sorry, sweets. I have a meeting in about fifteen.” Daniel looked at me with mischief in his eyes. “Why don’t you take her. She needs to go for a walk and she looooves the library especially the children section.”

I glared at the ass. “I really need to work on a few things. I have a meeting with Mr. Anderson tomorrow about our project.”

“Aunt Rhapsy, will you please go with us. It won’t be long.” Olivia, the little devil, blinked her little angel eyes at me.

“All right. I’ll meet you two downstairs in five.” I put Olivia down.

“Yay!” she squealed.

Izzy laughed, kissed her husband on the cheek, then said, “We’ll be waiting downstairs.”

I gave a little wave as they left then smacked Daniel on the shoulder. “You’re an ass.”

He shrugged. “Good news is you can’t get knocked up again when you see him dressed as a princess.”

“Out!”

Daniel laughed as he exited the office.
