It wasn’t until she was driving home from Jacob Cohen’s house after speaking with his grandmother that Laura realized she’d sailed—positively sailed—through Charlie’s appointment with the nephrologist, happily accepting his good lab numbers as something to be expected and then forgetting them because she was in a hurry to get home and think more about the baseball team. When was the last time she’d done that? Never. That was the last time. Lab test days were hell, always had been. The waiting, the worrying. But not today. Not since she and Cherise had put their heads together with Charlie and Duane in the cafeteria and started making plans.

It was only when she saw Jake’s car in the driveway that her smile finally left her, because she had just done what he’d warned her not to do, and now she had to tell him.

Did she have to tell him? Cherise thought so, and she was probably right. “Nothing good ever comes from secrets,” she had warned, and then grinned. “Besides, girlfriend, it’s too late for you to back out. We’re already in this up to our necks now that the kids know.”

Laura tried bargaining with herself. She could wait to tell Jake until after the meeting tonight, because maybe their dream would come to nothing, and then there’d be nothing to report.

But Charlie would tell him. She couldn’t ask Charlie, or Sarah, to keep secrets from their father.

After dinner. No, before dinner. Before Charlie got to him.

“Stop it,” she told herself out loud when she realized she was dreading seeing her own husband.

“What, Mom?” Charlie asked from the front passenger seat as he undid his seat belt. “Stop what?”

“Nothing, Charlie. I was just talking to myself. Dad’s home. Why don’t you go tell him about your great lab results?”

“Yeah,” Charlie said, opening the car door. “He’ll like that.”

“And that’s probably just about all he’s going to like tonight,” Laura mumbled as she struggled with her own seat belt, then walked into the house, her feet dragging, all her enthusiasm gone.

Maybe if she went on the Internet, as she’d discussed with Cherise, she could find something she could use with Jake as a good argument on how to turn this dream into a reality….
