Neither Chase nor Scribe said anything as all five of us left the school, but as Chase pulled out of the parking lot, I saw Sheriff McClure escorting Ms. Meza out of the building in handcuffs. While I was curious to know why, Chase simply shook his head, stopping me from asking.
Once at the compound, Chase unbuckled Cameron from his safety seat before placing him on his feet. Before my brother could bolt, Chase grabbed him by the arm and said, “No trouble today, kid. Promise me.”
Cameron looked quizzically before slowly nodding. “I’ll be good.”
“Good. Go play.”
And like a rocket, Cameron was off running.
Walking into the clubhouse, King shouted angrily, “Church. Now!”
Sarah walked over, rubbing her stomach. “What’s going on?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Damn. I have another appointment with Claudia. Gunner was going to take me. I’m too big to sit behind the wheel.”
“I’ll take you.”
“You don’t mind?”
“No, but with the brothers in church, that means I’ll have Cameron with me. Is that okay?”
“Yep,” Sarah grinned happily. “I actually like the brat. I think he’s funny. I’ll go find him.”
“But how do the babies get in there?” my brother asked again as he poked Sarah’s belly with his finger.
“Cameron, stop poking Sarah’s belly,” I groaned, reaching for my brother. From the second we told him where we were going, my brother was persistent in learning everything about babies.
He was driving me nuts. I got that new things fascinated Cameron, and he wanted to learn everything he could, but my brother had no filter and some of his questions were a bit forward. To make matters worse, he was only six years old, and I was not ready to have the birds and the bees talk with him.
“It’s all right, Sky,” Sarah chuckled, taking Cameron’s hand and placing it lower on her stomach. “Now don’t move, Cam. Wait.”
Seconds later, my brother gasped. “Holy shit! It moved!”
“Cameron! Language!”
Sarah laughed. “That was Gunner’s reaction when he felt them kick for the first time. Would you like to feel, Sky?”
Looking at her swollen belly, I nodded.
Placing my hand on her belly, I didn’t have to wait long before I felt the rolling movement. It was a unique feeling of awe and wonderment, as I imagined myself in Sarah’s position someday. I couldn’t wait to get pregnant and carry a child of my own, remembering how happy Mom was when she learned she was pregnant with Cameron.
“When do you think you’ll be having one of these yourself?”
“I don’t know. Chase and I haven’t really talked about it. He knows I want to be a mom, but we just got married.”
“I got pregnant the night Gunner claimed my virginity. He’s really proud of that,” Sarah chuckled. “Who knows? Maybe Chase knocked you up as well.”
I didn’t think of that.
We didn’t use protection and I wasn’t on the pill.
It was a possibility.
“Sarah, you ready?” a pretty red-headed nurse smiled, walking over in pink scrubs.
“Hi, Jess. A little help please,” Sarah said, extending her hands towards the laughing woman as she helped Sarah to her feet.
