CHAPTER 25

We were thinking…

Maci

Today is finally Friday, and I have never been happier for the week to be over. As soon as I am done watching Julia, I will be driving straight to Lake County to spend the weekend with my sister. I really need this time with her.

It’s been a week since my last four days with Damian, then the subsequent visit of his wife. I am still in shock that I found myself in this type of a situation.

My phone buzzes with a text and I smile when I see it’s from my sister.

Alison: what time?????

Me: 7… ish

Alison: I am so happy!!! Ish LOL

God, I am so ready for Ali to slap some sense into my head. She has always been the funny sister who also had common sense. Me on the other hand, my mom used to always tell me that I got my common sense from my dad. Who didn’t have any.

It’s around four-thirty when I hear both Marco and Lexi entering the house. It’s a lot earlier than I had expected them. I was thinking it’d be at least six in the evening by the time I’d be able to leave.

“We’re home,” Lexi sing songs and skips lightly on her feet all the way to the living room where I am playing with Julia.

“She’s awake,” Marco’s tone shows just a hint of a surprise. He is normally not easy to impress.

“Baby girl, you are awake,” Lexi coos and Julia lets out a surprised laugh when Lexi’s hair tickles her face. “Does that mean you’re going to sleep tonight for us? Please?” I start laughing at Lexi’s pleading tone with the baby.

“Well, I’ll take off if you guys are good…” I start packing my backpack, making sure my laptop and charger are in there, along with the mouse and the memory stick I used earlier.

“We actually want to run something by you if you have a minute,” Marco’s steady voice stops me in my tracks, and I turn around.

“Oh, of course I do! What’s going on?”

Lexi has a content Julia in her arms now and she walks toward us, stopping right next to Marco. He gives her an encouraging nod and an easy smile. I always find it so endearing that Marco doesn’t really smile like that for anyone else but Lexi. At least not that I’ve witnessed.

“Marco and I have been talking,” Lexi starts, then glances toward Marco again. “This house will go to my brother-in-law’s parents once the paperwork for Julia’s adoption is complete.” She starts bouncing the baby up and down. She is a little more active now that she’s heard her name. “Anyway, we brought her here after she was born because Sarah, my sister, had all kinds of baby stuff already, and I was definitely not prepared for taking care of her. But we’ll be moving soon.”

“Oh,” I press a hand over my stomach, trying to calm my nerves. I am so nervous. Am I about to lose my job? What a shitty week.
