Chapter Eleven

“How’s Mommy?”

Wren cringed upon opening the door Monday morning to find Georgina carrying more fiber muffins and slung over her shoulder a bag that no doubt carried a new form of torture. “Good morning. I’m doing great. How are you?”

“Honestly,” she said on her way to the kitchen, “I had my annual physical this morning, and my blood pressure is up, too. Curiously enough, when I told Doc Haven that my diet is quite healthy and I exercise every day, he suggested all of the unknowns surrounding my third grandchild might be causing me stress.”

“Oh?” Ignoring Cash’s mother’s not-so-subtle dig, Wren helped herself to a muffin. “Thanks for bringing these. They are super-duper effective.”

“You’re, ah, welcome.”

Catching Cash’s mother off guard had become a hobby of sorts. After all, it wouldn’t hurt her to at least call before her visits.

“Since needlepoint wasn’t your thing, I brought you a new hobby in which I know you’ll excel.” When Wren returned to the sofa, head filled with remembrances of the knotted catastrophe that had occurred the last time she’d tried being crafty, Georgina pulled out a cellophane-wrapped box, brandishing the cover like a Price Is Right model. “Taa-daa! You’re going to make a latch-hook rug to hang in the baby’s room. Aren’t the blue booties adorable?”

“Yes,” Wren said, “but I’m pretty sure I’m having a girl.”

“Nonsense.” Opening the box, she drew out a large chart and a tool she pronounced to be the latch-hook instrument. “Everyone knows that if a woman craves boiled eggs during her pregnancy, she’ll only give birth to boys. Mrs. Cahwood told me you’ve been eating dozens of her deviled eggs, which are made from boiled eggs, so there you go.”
