Chapter 14

“I liked Macie. She’s young and seems smart, and I wouldn’t say that about most of the lawyers I know,” Sally said the next night, when the three of us were at my house doing some wedding planning.

Cora and I laughed.

“I agree. I liked her. I think she would be a great addition to our group,” I said.

“Me too,” said Cora. “Now if only Rachel’s plan works so we can be free of Stephen and things can get back to normal.”

“Tonight we aren’t talking or thinking about this crap going on with Stephen. It is all about Cora and wedding planning. So let’s have a toast,” I said, holding up my wineglass. “To Cora, love, and all that is wedding-related!”

“Hear, hear!” said Sally, and the three of us clinked glasses.

“Have you even started looking at dresses yet?” asked Sally.

“What I want to know is, has she even set a date?” I asked. “Well, have you set a date?”

“Yes, and yes!” Cora said.

“You’ve set a date. Why haven’t we heard about it yet?” exclaimed Sally.

“Jonathan and I just decided this afternoon. We had differences of opinion on when it should be, and it took a while to hash those out.”

“I wouldn’t have thought he would care,” said Sally.

“Well, stop keeping us in suspense. When’s the wedding?” I asked.

“Three weeks from tomorrow,” Cora said. I could tell she was bracing herself for our reaction, and she was not disappointed. We were both surprised. Shocked, actually.

“What?” Sally yelled. “I can’t lose twenty pounds in three weeks. Why the rush?”

I looked at Cora, and she beamed. Something was going on here.

“Why are you sitting there so calmly? She told us we have three weeks to plan a wedding, and you’re fine with that?” Sally asked me.

“Are you pregnant?” I asked Cora, ignoring Sally for the moment.

Cora nodded.

“Oh my God! I am so happy for you.” I jumped up to give her a big hug. Sally followed.

“Why are you just now telling us this news?” Sally asked, pretending to be mad.

“I wasn’t keeping anything from you. I only found out myself Wednesday, and I went to the doctor yesterday to confirm. I needed to let the news sink in. Neither Jonathan nor I had planned on having kids, at least not this soon. It was a way-in-the-future kind of thing when we’d talked about it.”

“How does he feel now he’s going to be a daddy in . . . how long?” I asked.

“About eight months. I’m four to six weeks along. Once he got over the initial shock, he was elated. He’s already making plans for things he can do with the baby, and of course, he’s sure it will be a boy.”

“Yep, most men are,” Sally said. “They think they get boys from wishful thinking.”

“Okay, then we’ve got a lot of work to get done in a very short time,” I said.

“I think I found a dress online that I like. It needs to be shipped here and have alterations made. I also found bridesmaid dresses I think you two will love.
