Chapter 14 – The Bun

The next couple days passed by quickly with all of the extra work her cupcakes were giving her. Word had gotten out about her cupcakes and people were crowding their bakery to get their share. Layla pushed her regular desserts to the side to help Jane make room in the display cases for the demand.

Jane walked over to the door and switched the sign to OPEN and turned around with a smile. “I’m so glad today is Friday. I need a weekend,” she said walking over and staring down at the rows and rows of cupcakes now covering the shelves.

“You know, we should name these cupcakes. You could give them some wild name and we could get an article written about us in the paper. What do you think Jane?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

Jane smoothed her apron down and walked around the counter to join her sister. Layla walked in the door with a tray of croissants and looked at them curiously. “What is this? A meeting?”

Jane grinned and shook her head. “Nah, Kit wants me to name the cupcakes. She thinks it will add to the mystique. That and get us a newspaper article write up.”

Layla set her tray down and walked around the counter to join them. She frowned at the gorgeous cupcakes. “Hmm, how about The Best Dang Cupcake You’ll Ever Eat?”

Jane laughed and shook her head while Kit looked at Lalya dubiously. “Seriously Layla?”

Layla shrugged her shoulders and walked over and sat down on a chair looking tired. “Sorry, it feels like my brain isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.”

Jane looked over her shoulder at her older sister worriedly for a moment. “You okay Layla? You do seem off lately. You’ve been tired all week long.”

Kit turned and looked at Layla. “I overheard you making an appointment with a doctor yesterday. Anything you want to share with us?”

Layla swallowed and closed her eyes for a moment as she shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing. I think I caught something when I was over in France. I was watching Discovery Health Channel on TV last night and I swear I have a parasite. I’m tired and sick all the time. I hate it,” she complained, running a hand over her pasty forehead.

Jane walked over to Layla and grabbed a chair, bringing it close to her sister’s side. “A Parasite? Holy crap that’s disgusting.”

Kit walked over slowly staring at Layla with a faint grin. “Actually I think you might be right Layla. What do you call something that lives inside of you, growing and taking in nutrition and oxygen?” she asked softly. “You didn’t catch a parasite in Paris Layla. You caught a baby.”

Layla’s eyes went big as she looked up at Kit and Jane gasped, covering her mouth with her hand as she slowly stood up.

“Layla! You’re pregnant!” Jane breathed out.

Layla’s face went white and slack as Kit and Jane stared at her and then each other. Kit and Jane reached out and grabbed each other’s hands as they jumped up and down screaming excitedly.
