"Yea we know that,” Grace said impatiently.
"How do you feel?" Summer turned to Sherman.
"My belly is getting bigger, and now I have morning sickness, it makes me tired easily,” Sherman said.
Summer nodded. "Pregnancy is like that. You have to endure the process. Think about it, it’s just ten months. Have you calculated your due date?”
"It's been five months now. The baby is due in February or March next year."
"That's great. The weather will be neither too hot nor too cold. It's the most comfortable weather for a new mom and baby.”
After a sip of warm water, Sherman, annoyed, pointed t o her face and leaned over the table to show Summer," Summer, did you get spots when you were pregnant?"
"It depends. I didn’t have spots on my face when I was pregnant. It’s only been five months and you've got this much. You'll probably get more. But the spots will fade after the baby is born. Is it a boy or a girl?"
Sherman shook her head and laughed. "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. I don't like to know right away. It’s always good to have a little mystery."
Grace wasn’t interested in hearing about parenting stuff from them. She teased Charlotte and made her cry on purpose.
"Bad aunt! You're a bad aunt. I don’t want to play with you!" Charlotte huddled in Sherman's arms and ignored Grace.
Summer couldn't do anything about Grace. She took a few sips of coffee, glanced at the person behind her and scowled. "Isn’t that Natalie?"
Sherman looked over, and it was Natalie. She was carrying a bag, wearing a tight dress paired with a jacket, and fringe heels. She was tall and had a sexy figure.
Summer jabbed her finger at Grace. Would she please say less?
"How's Billy doing these days?"
"All is well. He would tell me every day when he left the house, and he would tell me in advance when he would come back. He keeps a regular schedule, going t o work at eight, leaving at five and coming home on time."
Billy had really settled down these days, maybe because he was going to be a dad. He was no longer a player, and he was not talking to Natalie anymore.
He bought a lot of baby clothes and toys for the baby. H e was home with her all day, including Saturday and Sunday.
Sherman thought maybe she made the right decision. At least she was happy now.
