Cat inhaled the succulent aroma of beef fajitas as they sizzled on the cast iron grill. After a quick search, she slid in beside her mother at the round booth in the corner of the Mexican restaurant.

“Nice of you to join us today.” Kellie’s smug comment reached her from the opposite side of the table.

“Don’t fuss at your sister, Kellie. She and Zach were trying to make me a new grandbaby.”

“But, you bought a pregnancy test yesterday.”

“Negative.” Cat raised a hand at the devastated look her sister sent in her direction. “It’s okay. We’ll keep trying.” Cat leaned over to lift her niece out of the infant carrier. “Don’t you look gorgeous today, Princess Di!” She smiled as Diana squealed with delight at the sight of her. “Did you miss your favorite aunt, Pumpkin?”

“You’re her only aunt, she has no choice,” Kellie said, sounding a little sour.

Ellen gave her throat a delicate clearing. “For now, anyway.”

Both Cathryn and her sister turned their attention to their mother.

Kellie voiced the question first. “What do you mean by that?”

Elaine beamed at her two daughters and placed her elbows on the table, lacing her fingers casually in front of her. “Oh, I don’t know. Just making conversation, I guess.”

Cat gasped as she caught sight of the diamond flashing on her mother’s finger. “Oh. My. God! Doc Barton proposed?”

Ellen McDaniel lowered her hand so they could get a better view of the ring. She beamed at her daughters. “Last night, and isn’t it gorgeous?”

“Very nice. Doc has good taste, but then we knew that when he started dating you.” Cat leaned over to give her mom a hug. “Congratulations, Mom. I’m thrilled for both of you.” She watched her mother’s smile fade as she turned to her other daughter.

“Kellie? What’s wrong, sweetie?”

Tight-lipped, Kellie stared at her mother. “You said yes?”

Ellen blinked before answering. “Well, sure I did. Why wouldn’t I?”

“Because, you’ve only been seeing him a few months, that’s why.”

“I’ve known Gavin nearly my entire life, Kellie.”

Kellie started packing her and the baby’s things as though she were leaving. “That doesn’t count if you weren’t dating him. You always told us to get to know someone first.”

“Oh honey, we know each other well enough, believe me.”

Kellie stopped throwing things in her daughter’s diaper bag long enough to aim a horrified look at her mother. “I can’t believe you just said that to me. And I can’t believe you’d forget about daddy so easily.”

“Kellie Joanne, what are you saying? Are you trying to imply that I didn’t love your father?”

“Sounds like it to me,” Kellie snapped.

Cat stood, went around to the other side of the booth. “Kellie. Have you lost your mind? This has nothing to do with Dad.” She watched in horror as her sister sent their mother an accusatory glare.

“Well, that’s perfectly obvious.”

Torn between wanting to follow Kellie outside and stay in the restaurant with her devastated mother, Cat handed Diana to her sister and watched her storm to her car.

“Cat, I had no idea either of you felt this way.
