My cheeks hurt from smiling.
His mom leaped out of her chair and pulled me in for a hug. It was exactly the reaction I wanted. I knew they would be happy for us. I was pregnant with their first grandchild.
It was a massive thing apparently.
“Oh, shopping. You have to let me take you shopping”. Charlotte grinned. “Oh, and a baby shower. Would you like a baby shower Leah?”.
“Charlotte, darling”. His dad gave her a soft smile. “Maybe we just let them breathe a little first. Let them get used to the idea of becoming parents”.
“Nonsense”. She huffed. “That’s my grandbaby in there”.
I loved that she was this excited and making a fuss. I didn’t have parents to share the news with or anyone else in my family except Carter and he already knew.
So, if she wanted to throw me a baby shower then I wasn’t going to stop her.
“It’s fine”. I smiled.
“How far along are you? Are you keeping well? Have you been sick?”.
“Mom”. Jake sighed. “Calm down just a bit please”.
“I’m sorry I’m just excited. Our first grandchild, the future Alpha”. She grinned. “We need to celebrate with champagne”.
Champagne that I couldn’t drink.
“Mom Leah can’t drink”.
“Oh, right. Never mind the Champayne we’ll celebrate with cake”.
Now cake I could have.
..
“But you’re feeling, okay?”.
“Always”.
“I mean with the baby”.
“Well, I don’t feel sick anymore if that’s what you mean”.
“Are you scared?”.
Was I scared? I wasn’t sure how I felt about it all. I’m not sure it had properly sunk in yet. I couldn’t really believe it was happening.
I shrugged.
