Connie sat behind her desk and started typing on her computer. She completely ignored my comment, which further pissed me off.
“I’m headed to the hospital. If anyone needs anything, call me.”
“We will.”
“Connie?”
“Yeah?” She finally looked up at me.
“Go home.”
She laughed. “I will when it’s time. I have some work to finish up, and then I’ll be on my way. I’ll let Nelson know you’ve gone.”
“Thanks.”
Chapter 6
KAT
THE WIND WHISTLED THROUGH the open window of my car, blowing my hair around my face as I drove to the hospital to meet the twins. I had just enough time before work to stop. Rebecca had texted me that she and her boyfriend Luke were the only ones there at the moment, so it was a perfect time for a quick visit. I was so excited I could hardly contain it.
I found a decent parking spot close to the front and hightailed it inside, stopping briefly to press the button for the elevator. Thankfully, the doors slid open a second later, and the car was empty. The climb to the labor and delivery floor was quick, and I hurried to the room. I stopped outside the door and took a deep breath, then pasted on my best smile and pushed open the door.
“Thankfully, Sid took him along when he went to get me food,” Mindy was saying as I walked into the room. “Kat, hi. Thanks for coming.”
Rebecca turned and smiled while Luke tipped his head in greeting. I smiled at them and walked around the bed to give Mindy a hug. Both twins were sleeping in a plastic bassinet beside the bed. I peeked in and nearly cried.
“Mindy, they’re perfect.”
She beamed. “Thank you.”
“What’s going on with Frank?” I asked.
She rolled her eyes and shifted on the bed, patting the spot beside her. “He’s just being obnoxious. Nothing new, but it’s harder for me to handle right now.”
I took a seat beside her. “I can understand that. Have you guys gotten any sleep?”
“Not really, but I’m handling it better than he is. Although I am pretty stressed about what life will be like once we get home.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
Rebecca walked over, interrupting us. “I think we’re going to get out of your hair so you can get some sleep.”
“No, don’t go. It’s okay,” Mindy said. She covered an enormous yawn with her hand.
“I should let you get some sleep too,” I said, pushing to stand.
Mindy grabbed my wrist. “Don’t you leave me too.”
I sat back down and patted her hand. “Okay. I’ll stay, but only for a bit. I need to get to work.”
She nodded and yawned again.
“So what are you worried about?” I asked after Rebecca and Luke left the room.
“Frank is extremely busy, which I already knew, and I was helping run the riding camp, but now that the girls are here, I’m kind of freaking out. I won’t be able to keep up with everything for the riding camp and my store. I know Rebecca is handling it as best she can, but she’s about to open her restaurant, and she’s already told me how stressed out she is doing both.”
I frowned, a little pissed that my sister would put that kind of pressure on Mindy. “I think she can handle it for a little while longer. If not, maybe we could all pitch in a little.”
