She heard the soft grunt that the man gave her. They were no longer wearing uniforms as a way of making other students feel more comfortable. And to make Jolene feel a little more normal.

Midnight swims did not have the same appeal without her mom or Cheryl. Laps were not as soothing as they had been.She was determined to get back into shape. Back down to her time. Her legs kicked and her arms swung out in strong strokes pulling her forward. Every other left stroke she breathed in and on the ones in between she breathed out. At the end of the lane, she flipped and kicked off the wall and began her final lap.The wall grew closer and closer, and she knew she would make it close to her time. With her hand hitting the wall, she came up for a long and deep breath. Planting her feet under her, Dean took off her goggles and swim cap to look at the large timer by the side of the pool.Fourteen seconds over.“Looking good, Coppell!” the coach called, a

Usually when he walked in, she would smile at him with her hands on her belly that didn’t seem to stop growing. This morning, she sat up against the headboard with tears streaming down her face. He placed the tray on the dresser and then sat on the bed and gathered her close. “It’s okay, Kitten.”She shook her head as more sobs racked her body. He continued to hold her and murmur soothing words until she finally calmed down.“Tell me what has you so upset.” He whispered.“Your babies are going to be bastards.” She sobbed out and began crying again.“Oh, my sweet Kitten.” He grinned into her hair as he placed tender kisses.He had to wait for the tears to settle down again. “I’m sorry.

It had become a running joke with them since Frank had told her that she was now in charge.Not that his old friend was all that wrong. Since she had said that she was pregnant, he was wrapped around her finger. And speaking of fingers, the ring that he picked out should be arriving later today. And they had an appointment with the judge next week.And that was the reason why the man was looking at maternity dresses.
