The next morning
Summer went downstairs after breakfast when she saw Sherman waiting for her by the car.
"I will go with you." Sherman opened the car door. " The school principal is a friend of my dad. He is a nice man. I wouldn't have to worry about you if you could work there."
"You sound like my mom." Summer laughed.
Sherman laughed, too, as she fired up the engine and stared at Summer’s expression. "You look happy now, your face ruddy and lustrous. It seems that Mark satisfies you well."
Summer chuckled upon hearing what Sherman said." Yeah."
"Look at that sarcastic look of yours. What's wrong?
Tell me."
"He touched me twice. But each time, my girl came and interrupted us at the critical juncture, so he had to pull away halfway and touch himself in the bathroom. He said if this continues, he would not be able to get it up again."
Sherman burst into laughter. "Charlotte is so adorable, but also naughty. Her temperament is different from
yours."
"Yeah, she is unlike me or her dad. I wonder whose gene she has inherited." Summer had an I-can’t-even look on her face.
"I think her temperament mimics that of Jazz, her uncle." Sherman swirled the car to the left. She paused for a moment before she continued. "Do you think I should tell Billy I am pregnant?"
Sherman left Summer to talk to the school principal while she returned home. Billy was sitting on the settee and buried himself in a pile of files when she arrived.
He brought her a glass of water, his charming eyes upturned. "You are back!"
She nodded in acknowledgement and took the water from him. After taking a few sips of it, she took a deep breath. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Billy put his hands on her shoulders to sit her down across from him.
After collecting her thoughts for a moment, she made up her mind. "You are a father now. I have been pregnant for over a month now."
Billy was stunned for a moment, frozen in place like a wooden man. When he came out of his daze, he could not hold back his excitement and carried Sherman up and spun her in his arms. "A father! I’m a father now! I can't believe I'm a father now!"
