" i'm sorry , " i said ." i didn't mean to give you an earful . we should be discussing your bump ."
" aren't you forgetting one thing ?" paige placed a hand on her abdomen ." no one else had the twins , did they ? that 's not secondhand . or am i missing something here ?"
"yes , conceded .
"by the way , you are godmother to the new arrival ."
"oh ...." godmother meant acceptance . godmother meant a settle role , aplace in the hierarchy ." thank you , paige ."
when sam and jilly's frieds was was born , nathan went around in a grandfatherly glow . he wanted to know her weoght , how well she slept and fed , and was she wearing the darling babygro he had picked out ?"
pregnant myself . i listened to this with only half an ear . i had never reckoned on nathna 's being thrown into such a fuss , but he was and that was that . however , there was no fuss whatsoever over the question of the seating arrangements at frieda 's christening , and that was that too .
"i'm sorry , darling ," nathan apologized , awkward and out of his depth .sam and jilly feel it would be best if you did not sit with the family ."
it did not take two wits to picture the kind of conversation that had taken place behind my back .
i grabbed his wrist ." did you stick up for me , nathna ? did you fight at all ?"
he hunkered down beside the chair i was sitting in ." of course i did , minty , i would fifght a lion for yopu . but it is a difficult situation ."
not that difficult . divorce and remarriage are not unknown .
