Alexia sits up as we drive into her street. She hands us some of her bags. “These are for you, just to get you started. There are also some magazines in there to give you ideas on the baby room.”
I see Max’s eyes go wide. “But...”
“No one told me I wasn’t allowed to buy things for you guys. Just as long as people didn’t figure it out.” She leans over and gives us awkward hugs. “I’m just so happy for you guys. You will have the best baby ever.” She smiles and then kisses me on the cheek, but doesn’t move away before whispering, “make sure you buy some new jeans, they will be a lot more flattering than these will be soon.”
The car stops and she gets out, still dragging way too many bags with her. How she does it, I don’t know. There always seems to be more things that she buys,
