“That’s fine we have a meeting anyway, Adlai can come with us”
Carter tells her, standing up and taking my hand. I smile at him. The shock that our daughter that we won’t have for a very long time will be claimed by my best friends son who will be heaven knows how old at the time. That he could take her before she’s the age to go stirred something inside me. Fear, terror and honesty jealousy. I will wait many many years to birth our little girl and the thought of sharing her with anyone but my parents makes me queasy.
We wait until the family is gone before heading back inside. I get Adlai dressed in black jeans and a yellow cardigan. I put on the same myself. I loved matching with her.
Carter roughly did her hair as I finished getting ready then we made our way to the office to meet
