Blake blinked a few times, trying to figure out if she heard Mason’s question correctly. “The LEGO?”

“Yeah. You can’t have those little pieces laying around with two babies.”

“Oh my god.” Blake buried her face in her hands. “Harper is going to hate us.”

“No, she won’t.”

“There’s just so much we must do before the babies arrive. And then after they get here,” she sighed, “I have no idea. I haven’t gotten past the whole birth part yet. Did you know Alexis had Harper at home?”

Mason slightly grimaced. “Um, yeah. I was there, Well, nottherein the room when it happened but I was thereafterit happened. But you knew that.”

And Blake did know that. Alexis had told her when they were first together. The alcohol was clearly fogging her brain.

“Oh, yeah,” she laughed and finished her second drink. “Well, I told her she needs to pop them out in a hospital this time.”

“Good idea since there's two of them.”

“But you know what she said?”

“What?” Mason's attentiveness was borderline mockery but Blake didn’t care. It was good to have someone to talk to, even if they were bemused by the conversation.

“She said okay but she still wants to do it all natural. No drugs. Just popping babies out like she’s a cavewoman.”

“So, I’m assuming you’d want the drugs?”

“Hell, yeah. Wouldn’t you?”

“I mean, I’ve never thought about it.”

“Well, think about this. Did you know you can,” Blake lowered her voice even more, “ripwhen you’re giving birth?”

“Rip? Rip what?”

Blake waited for Mason to figure it herself. As the confusion on her face was replaced by horror, Blake knew she realized what she meant.

“Oh. Oh,shit, no.” Mason shook her head and grabbed her drink. “Nope. Not thinking about that.”

“And,” Blake laughed, “guess what?”

“I don’t know if I wanna know or not.”

“Alexis wants a mirror to watch.”

“To watch… what? You two having sex?” Mason nonchalantly shrugged. “Not gonna lie, been there, done that.”

“Not sex.”

Again, Blake waited for Mason to realize what she meant.

“No! She wants to watch herself give birth?”

“She says it’s not fair thatIget to watch our babies be born and she can’t.”

“I want to be surprised by this but it’s Alexis.”

“What does that mean?”

“That just seems like something she’d want to do.”
