âIâm as big as a house and I love it.â Lake Montgomery beamed as she leaned back in her throne, also known as the reclining chair in her living room, and rested her hands on her bulging belly. Her swollen ankles were up on the footrest, and she had on a tiara with fuzzy pompoms glued on top. She looked absolutely ridiculous and glorious.
Lakeâs mom snorted. âYouâre not quite as big as a house, darling,â Arden Montgomery said with a wink. She sat down on the side throne, also known as the other reclining chair. All of Lakeâs aunts on her fatherâs side of the family, the Crosses, laughed and told war stories of their pregnancies and how big they were.
A Montgomery baby shower was a force to be reckoned with. We hadnât had many in our generation yet, but with the number of people falling in love, it was going to start happening more often. Lakeâs cousins on her other side of the family were also procreating, and my cousins on my dadâs side of the family were working on it, too.
We werenât all Montgomerys, even if it felt like it.
âI canât believe you didnât make Nick come to this,â I teased as I sipped my sparkling cider.
âYes, because I can totally see my husband at a baby shower with cucumber sandwiches, fluffy cakes, and birth stories.â Lake rolled her eyes and took a bite of her cucumber sandwich. âOf course, thatâs completely sexist of me, all the men were invited.â
âAnd yet theyâre not here,â I said with a laugh.
âOf course, they arenât. Theyâre off at that ax-throwing place, doing research to open up one of their own places while being manly men and talking about their feelings.â Brooke rolled her eyes as she sat down on the couch next to me.
âReally? That doesnât sound like them.â I paused. âOkay. It sounds partially like them. But I thought they were more enlightened than that.â
âThey are. Sometimes. And sometimes they revert. We let them, because then they give foot rubs and then we pretend we are dainty women that need a man to help us.â
Raven laughed from my other side. âPlease, let me be there when we tell Sebastian Iâm dainty and helpless.â
I laughed, shaking my head. âYou know I donât really see that happening.â
âYou think you have it bad, I have two of them. Oh, theyâre enlightened and totally know I can handle myself, but if I want to carry a heavy box into the house? Dear God, itâs the worst thing ever.â
âAs I have two husbands just like youâre about to, I feel for you,â my Aunt Maya said to Greer with a laugh. âAnd it doesnât get any easier. They just want to make sure the little lady is safe.â
âI donât know how you do it, Greer. I mean, watching Lake handle Nick? Thatâs fun. Brooke with Leif? Amazing. Raven making sure Sebastian knows his place? Enlightening. But I couldnât handle two.â
âBecause anyone handling you would need to be made of strong stuff.
