“I know.”
“And then there’s your parents. I doubt your father and mother are going to be fine and dandy when they find out a middle-aged man they always trusted around you is the father of their grandchildren.”
I dropped back into my seat. There was too much to process, too much to figure out. Before Sadie could say a word in response, a knock sounded at the door.
“Come in!” I called out.
The door opened and a nurse poked her head in.
“Everything alright?” she asked.
“Just fine,” Sadie said with a smile. “Just going over some childcare stuff with Dr. McMurray here.”
“We’re done, I think. Well, for now. What’s the craic?”
“Well, we’ve got a couple of fussy ones ready for some mommy attention. I can bring you to them when you’re ready.”
Sadie grinned. It was the beaming smile that was unmistakably a mother’s.
“I’m ready,” she said.
The nurse left to get a wheelchair, and Sadie and I were alone once more.
“Listen,” I said, gazing at her hard. “I want to say this – you’re not raising those babies alone, that’s for damn sure.”
