by Chevon Gael
“I don’t care what Uncle Tip says. Speak properly in public.”
“Yes, Mother. Mother?”
“Yes, dear.”
“Are there really two babies in there like Dr. McDonald says?” He pointed at his mother’s protruding stomach.
Winn cast an accusing eye at her husband. “Yes, son.”
Her husband turned a finger on himself and feigned innocence. “Me? What did I do? I only followed the book.”
“What book, pop, er—sorry, Mother—what book, Father?”
David the elder came to stand by his wife and looped his arm through hers. He planted a loving kiss on her cheek. “The book of father’s wishes, my son. Especially when they come true.”
