“Precious little boy, are you happy? Do you like camping? What’s your favorite tree?”
“He looks like a poplar man to me.”
“Mrowl! Rowl! Mroooowl!”
“Hi, Nervous! Is the TV making you anxious? Do you need some hugs? Do you want some kitty nibbles? Boop! Nose kiss!”
I’m torn, Pepper thought. I like cats, but I also like having a sense of personal dignity.
“- know the children I raised. They’re very excitable. Sweet darlings, both of them, but they lose their heads. And I was very pleased that both of them seemed ready to settle down with nice, cool-headed young men. And yet, somehow, I keep seeming to end up with all these accidental grandbabies. Not that I have an objection to grandbabies. But you can have too much of a good thing and I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only mother who gave her children The Talk about Risky Woohoo.”
“My life is full of people I dread the thought of living without, but you’re the only one I want to kiss good morning every day. We have a home, and a daughter, and I know this party is barely more than a formality, but I’m still so happy to be standing here with you and sharing this moment with everyone we know. Milo Pepper, I am so happy I fell in love with you.”
“Hi, Charlotte! Hi, Charlie-kins! I’m your dad! Can you say ‘Daddy’?”
. . .
“Sorry, hon. You might have to wait a few months."
“Just so long as it’s her first word.”
Looks like Ken decided not to break the wedding date! Hopefully none of the guests decide to kiss Milo! (I’ve got my eye on you, Rajeesh.) Also, what the heck do you think you’re wearing, Mai-Tai?
“Ken said I looked nice.”
Ken’s opinion is clearly not to be trusted.
“How’s the job hunt going, Pepper?”
“We’re thinking I’ll be a stay-at-home Dad, actually.”
*sigh* “That must be nice. If you can do it with the right person, I mean.” *stares dreamily at the back of a certain black suit*
“Thish cake ish so good! Sweetie, you have to remind me to give Ollie the name of our caterer.”
“I’ll give you three tries to guess my big news.”
