“That’s crazy. Look at the size of it.”
“You know Simon, he never does anything small.”
“But you guys loved the penthouse.”
Margo swallowed. “Yeah, about that.”
Jules bounced in her seat. “I knew it.”
“What? I didn’t say anything.”
“You’re pregnant. That’s the only reason you two would get a house.”
She sat back in her chair. “That’s not the only reason.”
“Sure it is. You two are totally the singletons in that baby factory called Oblivion. Did you get baby fever?” Her sister’s wide brown eyes were twinkling. “How far along?”
Margo sighed and patted her less than flat belly. “We weren’t telling anyone until we were sure everything was okay.”
“Why wouldn’t it be okay?” Jules sat up straighter and her gaze panned down in the video. “Whoa. How long have you been sitting on this?”
“I didn’t want to take anything away from your baby and with…”
Jules sighed. “Everyone has to stop treating me like I’m made of spun sugar. I can still be happy for my sister, dammit.”
“I know.” Margo’s eyes stung. “Me and Simon have actually been...well, not exactly prepared for all that’s happening.”
“You’re happy, right?”
“So happy.” Margo smiled back at her sister. “It’s a girl.”
“Oh my God. Really?”
“Yeah.” She sniffled.
“Serves Simon right.” Jules dabbed at her eyes.
“He is going to be just as bad as Nick.”
“Worse.”
The quick hiccup and shriek of Joshua diverted Juliet’s attention. “Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay.” She lifted him out of his bassinet. “I think someone’s hungry.”
“He’s so beautiful, Jules.”
“Yeah. You better come over and see him. Soon, okay?”
Margo nodded. “Definitely. Text me when you’ll be home this week and we’ll make it happen.”
“I can’t believe we’re going to have kids growing up together.” Juliet’s eyes brightened again. “Us? It just doesn’t compute that we’d have kids.”
Margo laughed. “Believe me, I know.”
“Everything okay in here?” Simon came down the stairs to the kitchen.
Margo dashed away the last of her tears. “I just told Jules.”
“Oh, good. Finally.” Simon came up behind her and curled his arm around her shoulders and pressed a kiss to her neck. He dropped his hand to her belly. “I knocked up your sister.” Simon waggled his brows. “Crazy, right?”
