That’s scary stuff. It’s not known if they’re going to be big enough to survive, and I know if anything happens to one of those babies, Lucy will never be the same.
So, we’ve all decided—without Lucy knowing, of course—to say a few prayers and ask for healthy babies with good sets of lungs. I secretly hope they all weigh enough they can go home soon so they can scream and wail and drive Jesse crazy. What? It’s what sisters-in-law do, right?
“It’s good that he’s able to do that, but he’s spending entirely too much money on this tour. I sincerely hope he’s getting more than he’s putting in,” Lucy confesses.
“Little mama, don’t you worry about money. My husband is amazing with numbers.”
Lucy grins. “I just bet.”
“Oh, how he can work those numbers,” I tell her. That man. Just thinking about him gets me aroused. I will never, ever stop wanting and loving my husband. Ever. He’s my other half and without him, I’m not whole.
Lucy snickers. “I haven’t had much number working lately. It’s just too uncomfortable.”
“I’m sorry Luce. You’re what? Twenty-one weeks now?”
“Twenty-six, thank you very much!”
“Sorry! Time’s flying on this tour.”
“That it is.”
“So, that means we’re trying to keep your vag corked for another six weeks. You better not have sex. Knowing Jesse and the size of his cock, he’ll pop that cork way too early,” I tell her.
“Oh my God. That’s not possible,” she tells me.
“Please. You told me about his ginormous—” She cuts me off with a smack to my arm.
“Yes, he is, but if we do anything we’re careful. Very careful,” she admits.
“I figured. I just worry about my little nieces and nephews in there.”
She runs a hand over her swollen belly.
“Is Dr. Sexy Voice going to do another ultrasound?” I ask.
“Yep. He’s got it all worked out for when we hit New York. Since we’ve got a couple off days there, it’ll work out perfectly.”
I nod. “Good. Can I come along? Maybe if their Aunt Sera is there, they’ll be nice and let Dr. Sexy Voice see if they’re boys or girls.”
Lucy huffs and rolls her eyes. “Absolutely. You can talk Jesse off the ledge. He thinks they’re all going to be girls.”
I can’t help it. I laugh. “Oh, that would serve him right, wouldn’t it? That great big dish of Karma.”
Lucy smiles. “Right? From manwhore to father of three girls? He’ll go insane when they start dating.”
“He won’t let them date until they’re thirty,” I tell her with a laugh.
“That’s the truth. But, seriously, yes, I’d love if you went along. Both Jesse and I could use your support. You know whenever you’re there I’m much more comfortable,” she tells me.
“Only because you know if someone messes with you I’ll kick their ass.”
She nods. “That too.”
Lucy and I are about to board the bus when we hear it. Such a sad, soulful voice—anguished. He’s singing straight from the heart, from the gut, and he’s broken.
I stop Lucy on the stairs and we listen to him sing Forever Blue.
Why did you walk away, where did you go
I’ve been looking for you, but you never show
Your heart is empty, you left me behind
Your soul is broken, do I ever cross your mind
You left me alone, something I never thought you’d do
You walked out the door and left me forever blue
You turned away, why, I haven’t a clue
You broke my heart and left me forever blue
You left me alone, something I never thought you’d do
You walked out the door and left me forever blue
You turned away, why, I haven’t a clue
You broke my heart and left me forever blue
If I ever see you again, I hope you’re whole
If you ever find love again, I hope he touches your soul
If he loves you like I did, you’ll never be sad
Mine will be the purest love you’ve ever had
You left me alone, something I never thought you’d do
You walked out the door and left me forever blue
You turned away,
