Chapter 191

Yes, we certainly need to talk. 

I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.

“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.

“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.

“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs into James.

I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.

“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.

“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.

“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.
