Odette burst out laughing. “Now you’re going overboard.”
“I know. You should’ve seen me a couple of weeks ago when I had to ask Doc about his baby.” He shuddered and Odette giggled.
“Pretty soon all you guys will be having conversations about diapers.”
“The hell we will,” he mumbled while walking back into the kitchen.
