Life found its rhythm, as it tends to do. Jessica had Evan on a schedule, he was growing like a weed. Thankfully, he had been as healthy as he could be since that scary night of the fever. Ray had taken to coming over every evening, to spend time with Jessica and Evan. He was getting to be like another member of their family.

The salon was busier than before, and Jessica could barely keep up with the demand. Between Mama, her mother, and Carrie when she wasn’t at school, Jessica was working thirty hours a week. She refused to take new clients because she just couldn’t stand to be away from Evan any longer than that.

The waves of grief still hit her occasionally, but having Evan was healing her. Girl time with Carrie always helped to brighten her spirit, and Jessica tried to get together with her regularly.

One lazy afternoon when Carrie texted Jessica to see if she could catch a few hours of girl time and shopping with her, Jessica had quickly replied ‘That’d be great will pick you up soon.’ Packing up the stroller, diaper bag, and Evan had taken longer than she anticipated, as it always did, but Jessica finally picked Carrie up from the ranch and took them all to the mall in Clinton. After a few rounds around the building, Evan fell asleep in his stroller and the ladies decided to grab a coffee and sit and chat. Jessica was always on the search for good coffee whenever she left the town of Poke, where it was sparse.

Stirring the cream into her coffee, Jessica looked at Carrie, “Did you see if the barista poured decaf for sure? I’m worried this is regular.”

“Well, one real coffee can’t hurt you, can it?”

“Caffeine isn’t good for nursing babies.”

Carrie rolled her eyes at the anxious mother. “I’m sure it’s fine, Jessica. You could probably have an expresso and Evan would be fine.”

“Oh, Ray would never let me do that.”

Carrie snorted and spit the sip of peppermint mocha hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and sprinkles, she had just taken, all over the table. Thankfully, none landed on Jessica’s white blouse.

Laughing and mopping up the mess with a stack of napkins, Carrie said, “Let you? Since when does Jessica ever let a man tell her what to do? I thought it was the other way around.”

“What do you mean?” Jessica asked innocently as she took a dainty sip from her cup.

“What?” Putting on her best Jessica face, Carrie flipped her hair over her shoulder and mimicked, “Oh, Ray would never allow me to do that.” She copied Jessica’s drinking style, then slapped both of her palms down on the table. “How positively archaic of you, Jess. What happened to the woman power ultra-feminist, dominatrix, cat woman, Jessica that we all know and love?”

Jessica shrugged. “Motherdom?”

“Um, I think the word you meant to say is Motherhood, but the word you should have said was ‘Raydom,’ as in, Ray Dom, Ray is your Dom.
