“No point,” I point out the window where the sun is already starting to rise.
“You can’t keep going like this.” She comes over and rubs my shoulders.
My eyes close for a few seconds until I feel my head fall to the side.
“Lacey, you need sleep. Tell them you’re sick or something. We have an appointment with the obstetrician later today, and you look like death.” I bite the side of my cheek.
I’ve been so fucking busy I haven’t had a second to tell her about Mallory.
“How about we adopt?” She stops fussing around my office and looks at me.
“What do you mean?” I roll my chair back and pat my lap.
She comes over and sits on my thigh.
“Do you remember Mallory? She’s one of the triplets.” She nods into my breast, and I kiss her hair.
“She’s pregnant but doesn’t think she’s ready to be a mother. She offered to let us adopt the baby. That way, it stays in the family.” I hold my breath after I finish speaking.
“Wow,” Makayla is a very vocal person, so this might be a good wow.
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I mean, what if she changes her mind or can’t handle seeing us with her child? No, I think we should stick with our plan.” Fuck, I can’t argue any of that.
“Ok, how about we think about it? Let’s reschedule the appointment today. I’m excused anyway.” She sits up and kisses me softly.
“Alright. Now go shower and get into bed.” I nod, help her off my lap, and stand.
My spine releases with one long string of cracks, and I sigh.
“You need a massage.” I grin.
“Are you offering?” She laughs and shakes her head.
“NO! But my friend is getting ready to take her finals. If you want I can ask if she still needs volunteers to practice on.” I tilt my head in confusion.
Makayla is the jealous type.
“I can’t believe you’re suggesting another woman touch me.” I chuckle when she pouts.
“She’s happily married to a man.” I shake my head and head for the shower.
“Sure, does she make house calls?” I call over my shoulder as I start the water.
“Yes, I just texted her. She’ll be here in twenty minutes. Hurry!” I step in the shower and let the hot water loosen all my sore muscles.
By the time I wash my hair, I’m feeling so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open, but I muscle through and manage to get dressed by the time our guest arrives.
“Good, you’re just in time. Lacey, this is Erin. She’s set up in the living room.” Makayla is in full hostess mode and is pouring Erin a glass of wine as I walk over to the massage table, calling my name.
“What do I need to do?” I stifle a yawn, and the ladies chuckle at me.
“Just lay down and relax. I’ll take care of the rest. Oh, lose the clothes.” Erin sounds amused as I look down at my pajamas.
“Right,” I mutter as I pull off my shorts and slip under the sheet on the table.
I pull my shirt off and drop it on the couch next to the matching shorts. I get comfortable on my stomach as sigh when Erin drizzles warm oil on my back.
I’m falling asleep before she reaches my ribs.
