'is this real life?' liz ends on an extra burst of excitement, her palms compressing michael's face fiercely. 'mikey's a papi,' she breathes, the information registering more completely the longer she looks at her friend.
'hey, that wasn't supposed to be today's headline, ortecho,' michael laughs. 'you've been mami-ing for years. it's no big. i mean, she's eighteen months already. the hard part's over.'
max just about spits his margarita across the patio at that.
'ay. no lo asustes!' liz hisses, smacking her husband's shoulder. 'you'll do great!' she assures, even as max sprints away, stopping their toddler from fisting a chunk of her own pastelito with seconds to spare. michael watches; liz can tell he's terrified now. 'amy's amy. one in a million, that girl,' she promises. 'at least, let's hope so.'
michael holds up his beer in an effort to make the universe pay attention to liz's assessment before taking a long pull to steady his nerves. 'oh! wanna see my baby science blog?'
