“Also, I want to see my grandbaby the moment it’s born. Do you know what you’re having?”
Mitch shook his head. “She’s got an appointment with the doctor in the week. We’re going to take care of her. I promise.”
“I know you will, son.” There was silence as he stirred the cups. “I remember when your mother came home and told me she was pregnant with you. I was terrified. I knew nothing about raising a baby.”
His father cleared his throat. “It was tough, and I know what it means to be your own man and raise a family.”
Mitch watched as his father pulled an envelope out of his pocket.
“I want you and Chase to have this. There should be more than enough to get you both started up. I’ve heard about your reputation, and I think it is time you both used those degrees you all got.”
Mitch took the envelope from his father and ripped it open. Inside was a check for enough money to get started up in their own business. “You can’t be serious.”
“I’m serious. Lawson and I thought it was time you and Chase did it together. I know Leah’s folks will help her out.”
“This is too much,” Mitch said, giving him the money back.
“It’s not. You’ve earned this, son. I’d rather spend the money on you rather than those dreadful oil paintings your mother loves.”
He laughed at his father’s joke. Words abandoned him. He didn’t know what to say.
“I love you, son. Make it count.”
