“Oh my God! Heidi?” she hears a woman say, as footsteps approach and solicitous arms surround her. “Are you all right?”
Heidi looks up to see the kind face of Maggie McKay. “I’m pregnant,” she hears herself say.
“Well, isn’t that wonderful!” Maggie exclaims. “Congratulations. That’s terrific.” She gives Heidi a gentle hug. “Except for the throwing-up part, of course.”
“Thank you,” Heidi says through tears of gratitude. “I really needed that.”
“Heidi?” Lisa calls from the doorway. “What are you doing out here?”
“I should go back inside.”
“Congratulations,” Maggie calls to Lisa. “You’re going to be a grandmother. How exciting is that?!”
Lisa manages a tight smile. “Stupid girl,” she whispers as Heidi brushes past her into the house.
