Daniel had been enjoying himself, but maybe coming to Brittney's baby shower hadn't been a good idea. It made him think about life's choices. A few days ago, talking to Mike on the phone, he'd listened as his college friend talked about how cool it would be in just under a month when there'd be a mini-him. "I'll teach him how to throw a football and build a skate ramp. If it's a girl, I can play Barbies. Just don't ask me to braid hair."

Daniel couldn't get over the change in his old college buddy.

"I'm going to be a dad," Mike had said, clearly in awe.

Daniel had been in grade school when his parents died and he'd gone to live with his grandparents. He dimly remembered his dad, a man who looked a little like Grandpa only younger. The most persistent memory had them inside an arcade, playing a game that had to do with music and jumping around. He remembered being swung in the air and laughter.

But it had been Grandpa who'd thrown the football and Grandpa who'd taken him and Dusty out to the work shed and built a skateboard ramp with them. The ramp had lasted all of three months before weather, constant use, and destructive kids had ruined it.

There'd been a time when he'd dreamed of having kids with Brittney. But she'd never looked at him the way she looked at Mike. And if he were honest, she'd been convenient, a beautiful girl who was easy to be around. Luckily, they'd both been smart enough to realize that circumstances were not always the most reliable matchmaker.

He remembered the dozens of showers his grandma helped organize. He and his brothers had often been stuck folding napkins into diapers and such stuff. Yeah, baby showers weren't all bad. Not that he'd confess this adventure to Dusty. Although Dusty might be smart enough to appreciate the appeal of an afternoon spent with plenty of sweets and plenty of ladies. Two of their favorite things.

Gramma was as happy as could be, and that made Daniel happy, even though Gramma's hands shook a bit, and her exhausted expression seemed more pronounced.

They'd been to the doctor in Texarkana yesterday. The news wasn't quite as good as Daniel had hoped. According to the assessment, Gramma still needed the wheelchair because she could only manage putting fifty percent of her weight on the hurt ankle. If Gramma did physical therapy, she might be able to use a walker in a few weeks. The doctor considered that good news.

Gramma didn't. She wanted to be walking on her own in a week.

What it meant for Daniel was extending the time spent in Pecan. Gramma wasn't great with the wheelchair. She kept forgetting to lock up the brakes when she needed
