It hit me like a ton of bricks, it's all in the eyes. That was Mrs. Lee's hint, and when I really thought about those words, only one person came to mind...
Oh geez! Could I be right? Could he really be the father? How can I be sure? Then again, what my mother said really jogged my memory... it must be him! Either way, I should keep it to myself for now.
The next morning...
Mrs. Rae: Good morning, sweetheart! How did you sleep?
Twinkle: Good, considering the circumstances.
Mrs. Rae: What do you mean?
Twinkle: I have so much on my mind...
Mrs. Rae: What's going on? Is it something specific?
Twinkle: Well... yeah. I have an idea of who the father is, Mrs. Lee had a vision and gave me a hint.
Mrs. Rae: Wait a second... a vision? You can't be serious, Twinkle. I think you're spending a bit too much time at her shop. There's not such thing as visions.
Twinkle: Maybe you're right, I shouldn't be dwelling on these things.
Mrs. Rae: Good.
Twinkle: You look like you slept well, and are those muffins?
Mrs. Rae: Indeed. I just went down to the bakery, ran into your doctor.
Twinkle: Oh?
Mrs. Rae: She asked about you, nearly slipped and revealed the gender of the baby.
Twinkle: NO!
Mrs. Rae: She did, and Twinkle I have to confess... I almost asked her to tell me! I can't stand the suspense!
Twinkle: Mom... it isn't your choice.
Mrs. Rae: I know, this is just... the most exciting thing to happen to me in so long, I'm going to be a grandmother!
Twinkle: [Thinks] FINE. We'll have a gender reveal party this weekend.
Mrs. Rae: Oh, Twinkle! Do you mean it?!
Twinkle: Yes. Now call Blair and tell her so you can freak out together.
Mrs. Rae: Thank you so much! I'll take care of everything don't you worry! [Runs off]
Ugh, why did I do that? Probably because of this morning... now that I have an inkling of who the father is... I guess I want to know everything.
(Mrs. Rae comes running back in.)
Mrs. Rae: One more thing... who do you want there?
Twinkle: I want it small, just you, Max, Blair, and Mrs. Lee.
Mrs. Rae: Can I invite a couple of my yoga friends?
Twinkle: [Giggles] Of course.
Mrs. Rae: What about Stacy? Shawn's sister?
Twinkle: Umm... I guess so. We are trying to make amends, after all. Her latest apology seemed sincere, so I'll give her one more chance.
Mrs. Rae: That's sweet of you. Okay, I'm off to make some calls!
