269 Winging It

Once Keeley was happily full of steak, she was tired from all the excitement and wanted to go home and take a nap. She didn't even make it all the way home, falling asleep in the car. Aaron carried her in princess-style because he didn't want to disturb her.

She woke up on the couch with Molly protectively curled up on top of her belly. The cats had been doing this sort of thing a lot lately. It was almost like they knew there were babies in there.

Another somewhat frivolous purchase she made with Aaron's credit card was laminating the index cards she used to practice her dissertation defense so she could go over them in the bathtub without the water ruining the ink. She was so sore and achy these days that it was totally worth the expense.

Aaron could hear her saying something and then correcting herself so it sounded better as he walked past the bathroom door. An involuntary smile appeared on his face. She was adorable.
