Chapter Twelve

Meagan

As I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, a wave of anticipation and excitement swept over me — could it be Chase? Ahh, nope, when I checked the text message, it was from Ariel.

Ariel: Hey Meagan, I need a quick favor. Can you come over to babysit Jonathan for a bit? I think I need to go to the doctor's office.

Me: Oh, God! What's wrong?

Ariel: Probably nothing, but it's my side.... tell you more when you get here.

Me: On my way out the door!

I hastily grabbed my phone and raced to Ariel's back door. As soon as her eyes met mine, a look of immense relief crossed her face. "Thank the heavens you arrived, Auntie Meagan!"

I was aghast. My hand clamped over my mouth as I uttered, "What's happening? This can't be...."

"That same feeling I experienced with my ectopic pregnancy is starting again. Thankfully, the nurse said they could see me immediately, and Guy is meeting me there."

"I hope that's not true!" I sprinted to Ariel, embracing her tightly, then grabbed Jonathan from his swing.

Before her departure, Ariel gave me an extensive list of instructions regarding Jonathan's recently developed crawling skills. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she encouraged me to supervise his activities and prevent him from any potential risks. "He's always so curious," she said lovingly, "Just make sure you keep an eye on him all the time!"

I happily nodded and reassured her with a gentle cooing voice, "Don't worry — I'll take excellent care of your son. So, you concentrate on yourself, and don't forget to keep me posted on what’s going on.”

Ariel's face lit up with a grateful smile, her eyes glimmering. "Meagan, I can't thank you enough," she added earnestly, "I love you."

"Sending you all my love," I uttered, blowing her a kiss. "Wish you the best of luck!"

I smiled contentedly at my delightful nephew as Ariel was driven to her appointment by Marcus, the guard on duty. We then proceeded to enjoy a plethora of toys and books, his bright eyes twinkling with excitement for every new experience. Finally, after tickling his tummy until he erupted into laughter, we took a break to snack on something delicious!

Seeing Jonathan gobble up his applesauce, my heart swelled with joy. Then before I knew it, the back door opened, and Ariel rushed in, wearing a happy grin. "It was just a false alarm," she said with relief. "It's only a pulled muscle I did while tending to the vineyard."

I spun Jonathan around merrily in my arms, relieved. "We’re so happy Mommy is okay!” I laughed.

"Let me whip up some lunch before you dash off."

"That sounds amazing," I replied, nodding in agreement. "I'm curious to know more about the vineyard. You told me you and Guy had started it as a hobby project."

Ariel beamed with exhilaration. "Things have been going extremely well," she bubbled, ushering us into the kitchen. "We've planted a variety of grapevines, like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It's been an absolute joy acquiring
