Chapter 10

“Be happy.”

Tristan’s words kept replaying in her head. Not that she needed them to. He’d spent the last few hours making sure she was happy.

Anything she wanted, he bought for her; anything she needed they couldn’t find, he arranged to get. If he didn’t stop, he’d have her spoiled rotten in less than a week.

“You okay? Do you need another pillow?”

Covington laughed. “I’ve got three now; what would I possibly do with a fourth?”

His gaze traveled from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. “Under your knees…?”

He had her stretched out on his couch, a pillow behind her head, one supporting her back, and the last one tucked under her feet.

She’d kept her mouth shut when he’d started ‘making her comfortable’ because she was tired after their dinner and shopping, and just the thought of arguing with him was too exhausting to consider.

“I’m fine,” she said, covering a yawn with her hand.

Tris glanced at his watch. “We’ve got just over an hour before our appointment with Jared. You should sleep.”

Sleep sounded good. Except there were bags and bags of groceries in the kitchen that needed to be put away and then there were the three bags of new winter clothes he’d insisted she needed that she had to wash…she stifled another yawn.

“Maybe a few minutes with my feet up.”

The constant fatigue she’d thought a result of her lack of food consumption in the last few months hadn’t improved since she began eating anything and everything again. Something to ask the doctor about later…

Covington wasn’t sure what time it was when she opened her eyes. The room was dark, the blinds closed, and someone—obviously Tris—had covered her with the softest blanket she’d ever snuggled under.

Grabbing the edges, she tucked her hands under her chin and wriggled deeper into her comfy cocoon.

“Oh, good, you’re awake. We need to leave for the clinic in a few minutes.”

“Really?” So much for resting for a few minutes. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sat up. “I guess I crashed.”

“You’ve done a lot of sleeping today.” He frowned. “Are you feeling sick?”

“No. The nausea hasn’t been as bad in the last few days.”

Come to think of it, other than the anxiety over telling Tris about the babies churning her stomach, she hadn’t felt sick at all.

She’d passed the twelve-week mark on Tuesday last week and since then she’d pretty much felt normal.

Well, except for the clumsiness. And the urge to eat anything she could get her hands on. And the need to pee every other minute. And the sudden bulge of her belly. And the…

Okay. Not so normal.

“Covington.”

Her gaze snapped to Tristan’s. “Huh?”

“Do you have to use the bathroom before we go?” he asked as though he’d been asking the question for hours.

Damn. She was doing that a lot too. Zoning out. Her mind would get on a track, and like a train, it seemed to have only one direction to go.

“Covington.” He clicked his fingers in front of her face.
