Chapter 14 - Lorelei

“And you’re going to need this, and this, and—oh! Can’t forget about these.” Andi placed item after item in my hands, everything from new mom books to baby clothes, as she dragged me deeper into the store. “And if you want to start looking for strollers now, this one right here is a great buy!”

“Cool it, Andi,” Holly said, giggling slightly as she plucked most of the pile out of my hands and placed them into a cart. “Lorelei just found out she was pregnant in the first place. She deserves a bit of time to adjust before she goes shopping.”

Andi gave a disappointed tch sound before sighing. “You’re probably right,” she conceded, glancing at the stroller. “Besides, I think I have a bunch of this stuff at home already. If I don’t, then Jenn or Iris probably has some of them. Assuming you’re okay with hand-me-downs.”

I looked at the price tag on the stroller she had pointed out and grimaced. “Yeah, anything I don’t have to pay full price for, I’m definitely interested in,” I said.

“Great!” Andi exclaimed. “I’ll have Luke bring it by your place soon.”

My place. The idea still felt foreign, almost uncomfortable, like clothes that didn’t fit quite right or shoes that needed breaking in. It wasn’t unpleasant, exactly, but the words still made something stir in me, only I couldn’t tell if it was good or bad. I’d spent my entire life in my cottage, most of it on my own. That was my place. Not Mark’s house. But even as I thought that, some kernel disagreed. It wondered if maybe it was time to change all that, wondered if Brixton would be that terrible.

“Now, if you really want to shop for her right this minute, I can think of far more useful things that she’ll need soon,” Georgia said, dragging me out of my thoughts. “Maternity clothes.”

Andi squealed. Before any of us could say anything else, Andi and Jenn grabbed my arms and pulled me toward the maternity clothes section of the vast store. I wasn’t even showing yet, but the girls were so excited that I couldn’t say no.

After all of ten minutes, Georgia, Andi, and Jenn had all pulled out a mountain of clothes for me to try on, though they all refused to let me help when I offered to carry some of the clothes to the changing room. And so it went over and over again. There seemed to be an endless supply of clothes for me to try, and they kept finding more.

After an hour, at which point I told them I needed a breather, Holly came over to me. “Hanging in there?” she asked. “The girls mean well, but they can definitely be a lot if they ambush you like this.”

“It’s my fault for dropping the ‘p-word,’” I joked. “How did you get involved with this crew, anyway?”

Holly smirked. “I was friends with Andi when we were kids. We reconnected a couple of years ago. At some point, she decided to absorb me into the group.
