“Yes, you will. Have you finished gathering the blackberries?”
“Yes.” She smiled up at me happily and took my hand. “Grandma Amelia said she’s going to make a blackberry and apple pie, and I told her that sounds delicious.”
“Yes, it does, and I think Chet said he’s going to make homemade ice cream.”
“Yes. Daddy Chet said he’s going to make me vanilla ice cream to go with my pie.” She beamed. “When am I going to be the flower girl at the wedding for you and Daddy?”
“Well, that’s going to be this weekend.”
“I’m so excited. It’s too bad that the baby won’t be there, too.”
“Yes.” I laughed, already thinking about what I was going to tell my unborn child when they got older and found out that I got married when I was three months pregnant.
“There you are.” Chet came running out of the house. “You got those blackberries from me, Eloise?”
“Yes, Daddy Chet.” She let go of my hand and went running up to him. “I was just telling Auntie Arya that I’m excited to see the baby so I can be a big sister.”
“I know. I’m excited to see the baby, too.” He smiled at me lovingly. “Come on inside, guys. Mom’s waiting on the blackberries.”
“We’re coming, you darling man.” I smiled at him lovingly. I couldn’t believe that this was my life. I couldn’t believe that I was pregnant with his baby, and we were getting married in just a couple of days.
“You okay?” Chet said, as he stood back and waited for me to reach him.
“I’m fine.”
“You’re walking kind of slow. Is your back hurting?”
“I’m fine, honey. I was just walking at my normal pace.”
“Do you need to lay down or sit on the couch? Can I bring you anything?”
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
“I just want to make sure everything’s okay.” He gave me a kiss on the cheek.
“Everything’s fine. The doctor told you everything’s good.”
“And are you sure we can’t find out the gender before the baby is born?” he said. “I really want to know if I’m going to have a little boy or a girl.”
“We already agreed that we’re not going to find out until the baby is born,” I reminded him.
“I know, I know.” He sighed. “So you know Beau and Austin are completely mad at me.” “Well, I can understand why.”
“For what?” he said. “I didn’t blow the wind out of anyone’s sail.”
“Is that the term?” I said, raising an eyebrow.
“I don’t know.” He laughed. “But it sounds vaguely right.”
“Yeah. I’m just lucky that Olivia, Lucy, and Sadie are so excited about the baby that they don’t mind that we’re getting married before them.”
“I told you I’d be first,” he said, grinning. “First to be married and first to have a baby.”
“Well, we were the dumbasses that had sex without protection.”
“Hey, when you got on me in that car and started riding me, I couldn’t care less about protection.” He winked at me, and I shook my head.
“We are not going to tell the baby that they were conceived in a car.”
