They both say yes, so Nat pulls down two more flutes.
When she gets to pouring the fifth flute, I instinctively throw my hand over the glass. “Just water for me.”
Nat’s jaw drops and Jessie screams in delight.
I clarify. “It’s nothing. I’m just on some antibiotics.”
Nat mock-chastises, “You are such a liar.” While Jessie simultaneously asks, “Can I throw your baby shower?”
“Wait,” Nat says. “But didn’t you drink at my wedding?”
I smile and shake my head. “Nope. I was pretty stealthy about it. I drank orange juice and soda water.”
Jessie’s face lights up. “Why, you little sneak. So how far along are you?”
I pull out a small black-and-white picture to show two little babies swimming happily. “This far along.”
“Twins?!” Jessie and Nat scream simultaneously while jumping up and down.
And to paraphrase the ending of a story I had to read in an AP English class (though apparently Jessie didn’t):
And they lived happily ever after.
