“The family’s buzzing about you dating Sebastian,” Sutton said, handing Gracie a cup of Lauren’s special hot cocoa, a teasing smile on his handsome face. He had many of the same expressions as his twin, and sometimes it was like a sense of déjà vu being with him.

“Thanks.” She warmed her hands up around the mug. They sat at a back table at The Eatery. It was their slow time, the hours between lunch and dinner, when they could all take a breather. “Buzzing how?”

Lauren tugged on her ponytail. “What do you think? They’ve known you and your family for years. Everyone’s thrilled.”

“Are they?”

Gracie was a pretty confident woman, but when it came to her place in the Wingate empire, she had her doubts. She certainly hadn’t thought she’d be so welcome. Or was it the lottery win that had her in their good graces now?

“You’re like family already,” Sutton said.

Gracie eyed him, raising her brow.

He got the hint. “Sebastian’s been happier lately.”

Gracie liked hearing that from Sebastian’s twin. The two brothers were incredibly close, and it was as if she was hearing it from Sebastian himself. Although they hadn’t parted too happily last evening. Sebastian was losing patience with her.

“So what’s on your agenda tonight?” Lauren asked. “Got a hot date with my future brother-in-law or anything?”

“Actually, I do. Soon as I finish up here, I’m going home to change.”

“Where’s he taking you?” her partner asked.

“I have no idea. He wouldn’t say. Other than it’s someplace special.”

“Special is always good.”

Gracie’s cell phone rang and she noted the number. “Excuse me. I’ve got to get this,” she told Lauren and Sutton. Then she walked into the office and closed the door.

“Hello, yes, this is Gracie Diaz. Thanks for calling me back.”

“No problem, Ms. Diaz. This is Trudy Metcalf from the Royal Birthing Center. I understand you’re interested in taking early bird classes. Congratulations, by the way, on your pregnancy.”

“Thank you. Yes, I think it’s about time I sign up. Although I’ve been reading everything I can get my hands on about having a baby.”

“It’s all good. How far along are you?”

“I’m about fourteen weeks now, and I’m in very good health.”

“Great, we want to keep it that way. That’s what our early bird classes are all about.”

Gracie spent a few more minutes on the phone with Trudy, signing up for classes. Once the call was over, it was as if another step in her life’s plan was finally coming together. Never mind the morning sickness or the fuller waist or the huge appetite now, signing up for childbirth classes made her pregnancy and the new life she would bring into this world a beautiful reality.

Gracie left The Eatery at five in the afternoon to get ready for her date with Sebastian. She was grateful for Sutton’s and Lauren’s support. It meant a lot to her and made her feel a tad bit better about dating Sebastian. She strode into her rental home, proceeded upstairs, stripped off her clothes and stepped into a hot shower.
