Abby

“Abby, I just heard the bells ringing up front. I thought you locked the door before we came back here.”

“I could’ve sworn I turned the lock.”

“It’s been acting up lately. I need to get it fixed.”

“Alright, you stay in there and follow the next step in the directions. I’ll be right back.”

No sooner than I turned the corner did I bump right into my younger sister Rebecca who was holding my nephew in her arms. I could already see this was heading downhill before we started. I had Payton in the bathroom trying to take a pregnancy test, and Rebecca who was nosey and would probably turn around and tell if she found out what was going on.

“Hey, Abby. I thought that was your SUV out front. John William, say hi to your Aunt Abby.”

I smothered his plump little cheeks with kisses before continuing the conversation.

“Yep, that’s me. Guess it’s kind of hard to hide a big old Chevy.”

“Why would you try to hide?”

“I’m not trying to hide. I just meant if I were ever trying to hide, it would be hard to do because the truck is so big.”

“Right. Where’s Payton?”

“She’s in the bathroom. I’m sure she’ll be out soon. How was your trip to Savannah?”

“It was productive. We were able to get a lot accomplished.”

“Including talking to the neighbor across the street?”

“Maybe.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Before she could respond Payton yelled from the back.

“Abby, is everything alright?”

“Yes, everything is fine, I’ll be right there.”

“Alright, I need you to come back and help me read this thing. I can’t tell what this is supposed to say.”

“Hold on, Payton. I’ll be right there.”

Rebecca looked beyond where I was standing toward the back of the store.

“Why don’t we just go back there so you can help her out.”

“Oh, I will. But first why don’t you explain what you meant by maybe? You either spoke to the neighbor across the street, or you didn’t. It’s not that complicated.”

“I’m not talking about this in front of John William.”

“Really, Rebecca? He’s a baby.”

“So, you think he doesn’t recognize when his mother is upset about something?”

“I think he recognizes when his mother is acting like a drama queen.”

Payton bellowed out from the back of the store again.

“Abby, what’s taking you so long? I can’t tell if this stupid test is negative, positive, or what.”

Rebecca’s eyes widened.

“Is she taking a pregnancy test?”

Oh, goodness. I was trying my best but if Payton was going to keep broadcasting her business for everyone out front to hear, then I didn’t know what else I could do.

“I’ll be right back,” I said.

“So what am I, chopped liver? I guess you two were going to team up on this one and leave me in the dark, as usual.”

“Rebecca, why do you always find a way to make everything about yourself? I said I’ll be right back, now hang on a moment.”

I turned to see Payton standing at the threshold of the break room. She held the face of the stick so that we could see the results on the screen.
