Chapter Twelve

April 25th

The doorbell rang. Liza’s eyes snapped open and she sat up.

“Liza?” Audrey called through the door.

Liza wrapped the black fuzzy blanket around her shoulders and headed to the door. She opened it and shuffled to the couch.

“Doing that good?” Audrey shut the door behind her and followed Liza.

“I was up until five throwing up. How do women make it through their first trimester?” She let her head fall to the pillow, brought her feet up onto the couch and curled up in a ball, chilled to the bone.

“If it’s bad you can get medication for it.” Audrey adjusted the blanket over Liza and tucked it around her before she sat down in the easy chair next to the couch. “Why don’t you call your doctor?”

“They said I don’t need an appointment until eight weeks and it will be paperwork. My first real appointment won’t be until twelve weeks.”

“Yes, but if you’re having bad morning sickness, you need to get medication for it.”

“Why do they call it morning sickness? It should be all day and into the night sickness.” Liza covered her eyes with her arm. “How’d you survive it?”

“With medication and a lot of rest.”

“Who has time to rest? I got in trouble with my boss again the other day for not answering a phone call I never got. Between the pregnancy and my sixty to eighty hour work week, I’m lucky if I get any rest.” Liza shivered.

“Try to get rest when you can.” Audrey pulled the blanket off the chair she sat in and covered Liza with the second.

Liza chuckled.

Audrey sunk into the chair, color touched her cheeks. “Jackie always said I was a bit of a mother hen.”

“Nothing wrong with that.” Liza was lucky to have a friend who cared.

Silence filled the room.

Liza let out a pent up breath. “Julian came to see me at work last night.”

“How’d that go? Did he at least apologize?”

“He tried to, but I’m not ready to forgive him.” Liza forced herself to an upright position. “And he brought a freaking Tiffany’s box. Tiffany’s, Audrey. Probably spent some exorbitant amount. Like that will encourage me to forgive him.”

Audrey laughed. “Jake used to do that all the time. I have a jewelry box at the house full of what I used to call apology jewelry.”

“I don’t understand. Does he think handing me something is going to make me forget his gut reaction?” Liza ran a hand through her hair, only to be stopped by the tangled mess that used to be a braid.

“I don’t know what they’re thinking.” Audrey shook her head. “I was a foster child, so I didn’t have money spent on me. Jake and I got together and I’m still shopping at Goodwill, while he’s buying fifteen hundred dollar shoes.”

“You mean fifteen hundred dollars worth of shoes, right?” Liza gaped. She pulled out the hair tie and unbraided her hair, working out the knots as she went.

“Nope, he spent that on one pair of shoes.” Audrey grabbed the brush from the coffee table and handed to Liza.
