“Werewolves? This is even goofier than the zombie game. Your brain is going to rot out.”
Eric turned, face brightening. “Wussy! Come play with me. You can be Watson. He has a Gatling gun that shoots silver bullets. It’s awesome.”
“Actually, I came in to tell you that someone wants to see you.”
“Who is it, is it Dad? Someone from the group home? One of my friends?”
“No, Ruk. It’s your pretty lady. She’s in the language lab and asked if you would come in. She has something important to ask you.”
“Meggie!”
Eric sprang to his feet, almost knocked Wes over as he brushed past, then ran down the hallway to the language lab. He burst in the door.
“Hi!”
“Hi, Eric,” came the voice from the computer. “Please sit down.”
Then Becca stepped into the hallway and shut the door behind her. The voices cut out. She wrapped her arms around Wes’s neck and kissed him.
“You did good,” she said.
“I hope you’re right.”
“I am. Now, I’m going upstairs to lie down in the guest bedroom. You can come up with me, if you’d like.”
“Are you feeling sick?”
“Actually, I may or may not have just felt a contraction.”
He stared. “But you’re only thirty-seven weeks.”
“Wes,” she said, “haven’t you figured it out yet? Life doesn’t operate on a schedule.”
And with that, she rounded the corner and her footsteps trudged up the stairs. Wes ran after her.
