CHAPTER TEN

NOVEMBER TURNED INTO December. The weather changed. A day of soft snow flurries prepared Western Pennsylvania for a real storm that dumped eight inches of fat white flakes to the ground. The old car Tory’s mom had lent her refused to start two Saturdays in a row and Chance tinkered under the hood until the car purred like a kitten.

So on the third Saturday, after she’d returned early from her visit with Jason, when Chance growled about having to shop for gifts for two babies, she put him out of his misery and volunteered to help him.

“Really?”

“Sure. Even if your mother can’t watch the kids, Cook adores them. She’d probably be happy to have them for a few hours.”

“A few hours! You think it will take us a few hours?”

She laughed. “Hey, these are your kids. Once you start shopping you’ll see a million things you’ll want to get them. We’ll need time to sift through your choices.”

His face still scrunched in confusion. “Sift through choices? You’re sure?”

“Yes. I’m sure.” With a laugh, she walked to the house phone and dialed the number for the kitchen. “Are you busy tonight?”

Cook happily said, “Not really.”

“Good. Chance needs to buy gifts for the kids. I’ve volunteered to help. Can you watch the twins?”

“Sure. Gwen’s having dinner out. Technically, you’re not supposed to be here, so I really don’t have to cook today. Which makes me free as a bird.”

She put her hand over the phone and faced Chance. “Your mom is having dinner out. Cook’s free.”

His eyebrows rose. “So we’re good?”

She nodded and went back to the phone. “Do you want to come here since all their things are here?”

“Sure. And I promise I won’t snoop.”

“You better not. I have your present here and I’d hate for you to see it before Christmas.”

Cook chuckled.

Tory hung up the phone. “She’ll be here in ten minutes.”

“Who would have thought so many people would want to babysit twins?”

She walked to the closet by the door to get her coat. “I would. Most people love babies. Twins are double the fun.”

A few minutes later, Cook knocked on the back door. Chance swung through the kitchen to answer. “Thanks for this.”

She batted a hand. “It’s my pleasure.” She glanced around as she shrugged out of her coat. “Where are the little darlings?”

“In here,” Tory called.

Cook clapped her hands together and ambled over to the swings by the sofa. “Well, aren’t you just the cutest?”

Tory had dressed them in red and green one-piece pajamas and put red stocking caps on their heads so they looked like elves.

Cook stooped down in front of them. “We are going to have a wonderful time.”

Cindy cooed. Sam yelped.

Tory said, “They’re a handful. So if you get into trouble you have my cell phone number.”

“I raised six kids. I can handle two babies.”

Chance grabbed a piece of paper and began scribbling on it. “And here’s my cell phone. Seriously. If they’re any trouble at all—”

Cook frowned at them. “Now, you’re just making me feel old.
