Chapter Seven

Simone plopped down on the couch and took a bite of a candy bar. “Yummy. So a calendar and an auction. Too good to be true. Now how much are you willing to bid and which charity is it for?”

Allarie sat at the other end of the couch and crossed her arms. “Not bidding. Not even going. No clue on the charity. And why didn’t you get me a candy bar?”

“Yes, going. Yes, bidding. And you need to watch your figure.” Simone took another bite and moaned in gratitude of good chocolate.

“Not going. Not bidding. And you don’t need to watch yours just because you have a husband?” Allarie slid her legs underneath her and sat up straight.

“Yes, going. Yes, bidding. And I don’t have to watch it that closely for the next seven months or so.” Simone grinned at Allarie.

“Seven months.” The implication hit her like a hammer. “You mean,” Allarie looked at her sister and waited for the nod before she hurled herself forward into Simone’s arms. “You mean I’m going to be an aunty?”

Simone nodded and her eyes welled up.

“Do Mom and Dad know?”

“Not yet. I just found out this morning. I surprised poor David at work and he practically collapsed when I told him. I might wait until Mom and Dad come back from Florida. It’s only another week. And it’s not really good to tell people in the first three months. I would have known sooner if I was more regular. It was sort of a surprise.”

“So you weren’t trying? Are you happy? Is David happy?”

“Al, stop worrying. We were talking about trying and decided to just go off the pill. I figured it would take some time. Some people it takes years, at least months. Looks like with us it only took days from the time we stopped protection.”

“Oh my God, a baby. Do you feel okay?”

“I don’t feel any different. Not yet, anyway. Although I’ve been on the hungry side this last week. I wouldn’t even know except I passed out the other day. I thought it might have had something to do with the accident. I did hit my head.”

“What? Why the hell didn’t you say anything?”

“Your reaction would be why. Anyway, when I went to the doctor and explained what had happened they asked if I could be pregnant and I realized the answer could be yes. They did a test and sure enough, preggo.”

Allarie hugged her sister. “What can I do for you? Make you some coffee? No, coffee is probably not good. How about some milk?” she rambled.

“Al, calm down. The doctor said my normal behavior should not change, which means I’ll continue to have my coffee in the morning, thank you very much. He just said I need to take prenatal vitamins and try to eat healthy. I can manage that. A candy craving now and again isn’t a big deal. What you could really do is go to the auction with me.”

“What? Are you crazy?”

“Seriously. I
