I wrinkle my nose. “Ugly?”“When they come out, babies are kind of squished,” she tells me. “Being born is hard work.”That makes sense to me. I know where babies come from. Emory explained it to me last year when the stork story was becoming less and less believable. I’ve never even seen a stork at
“I like you better naked,” he says. “You’re the one that’s distracting.”“Because I’m the size of the moon and hard to miss. I practically have my own gravitational force at this point.”He laughs. “You’re not big. You’re pregnant.”“I’m still big. Does it matter why?”He pushes the fabric of my shi
KaneEmory sits up, her face scrunched up in discomfort. I’m about to ask her if she’s okay before she lets out a pained scream. I lean up, placing a hand on her back to comfort her. She’s breathing quicker, her green eyes wide in realization.“The baby is coming.”I nearly jump out of my skin. Fear
