“Your tummy looks as flat and sexy as before,” Darcy commented, taking her place on the chaise lounge next to me. “You’d never know you had that colonoscopy. There is no scar or anything.”
“Colostomy,” I corrected, looking at her from beneath my sunglasses.
“Whatever, the point is, you are good as new.”
“I’ve been blessed,” I admitted. “Most of the scars have vanished.”
“What do you mean most of the scars? I don’t see a one.”
“I’m not talking the physical scars, Darce. The psychological ones run much deeper. Taz was right about that.”
“So, have you finished up with the counseling?”
“Yep,” I said. “Dr. Beatty thinks we have dealt with the demons and I’m good to go.”
“Speaking of demons, when is Kyzer and Susanne’s trial?”
“It’s not scheduled until this fall. I’m not worried about it. Dr. Beatty thinks I’m strong enough to face the trial.”
“And what does Dr. Matthews say?” she smirked.
“He concurs. He’s been my best medicine all through this, anyway.”
“So, did you break down and spoil the surprises you have for him?” she asked, eying my new belly-button ring.
“Nope, I wanted it to be a surprise, remember? You’re the one that can’t stand surprises.”
“Let me see if you’re all healed up back there.”
I rolled onto my side, presenting my butt to Darcy as I lowered the small piece of material that was covering it.
“That looks so good,” she said. “Taz is going to love it.”
“He better, because if he doesn’t, I’m letting him know it was your idea.”
Darcy had convinced me to get a tat on my right butt cheek. It was the Tasmanian devil cartoon, with the name “Taz” scrolled underneath. I knew he would love it. I kissed two fingers and touched the tattoo, giving my Taz a kiss.
Darcy moaned, rolling her eyes.
“You guys are so freaking in love,” she said, smiling.
“So, what’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing at all. I’m kind of jealous, actually.”
“Jealous? Why would you be jealous? You and Darin love each other.”
“We do,” she admitted, leaning back and pulling her sunglasses down from the top of her head where they had been perched. “But you guys are so intense with your love. I mean really intense.”
“We’ve been through a lot together,” I said with a shrug. “That’s probably the reason. We’re about to go through some new stuff, actually.”
“Oh, really? Anything you want to share with your BFF.”
“I really shouldn’t before I share it with Taz, but I could use your opinion, I suppose.”
“Okay, spill.”
“I have one more surprise for Taz when he gets home. I’m pregnant.”
