ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 143

" I want a burger," Faith argued as she sat on the patio of a trendy little cafe across from the Hyattsville Women's Health clinic with her fiancee Joy , Winston , Spencer and little Miracle sitting in a canary yellow restaurant high chair. " I'm the one who feels like I just got probed with my feet in stirrups. I deserve a burger. "

Winston held up his board that read ," No. Red meat could be detrimental to the baby. "

Joy agreed. " There are a lot of interesting vegetable dishes on the menu. I've heard good things about this restaurant. It's nearly as good food wise as Richard and Nigel's. Much better than Cafe J's was. " Then she bit her lip as she remembered who Winston was now married to and said swiftly," Not that Cafe J was bad. It's more in their.... element and realm as a nightclub though. "

Winston smiled faintly at her and nodded.

Faith disagreed. " The kid isn't even in me yet. They said it won't be ready for the shipping part....."

" Implantation," Spencer interjected as he tickled Miracle under her chin as she giggled happily and banged her hands together merrily.

Faith rolled her eyes at her brother in law. " Yeah. Whatever. I'm an education major not a premed one. Although if I can't pass Ada's class I'll never graduate until I'm collecting social security. They said the implantation, what a bougie word, isn't until next Wednesday. And since they want me to rest the next day and take all these hormone pills to ease the pregnancy in I deserve a burger. A big juicy delicious medium rare burger. "

Winston looked alarmed as he wrote on his board the words " At least make it well done , Faith. Think about the baby's well being. "

Faith sighed as she looked at him , his board , Joy and Spencer. Then she threw up her hands in defeat. " Fine ! Well done but I'm getting sweet potato fries and a thick chocolate milkshake. I'll fight anyone tries to take it from my cold cold cold hand...... Winston, you frozen pop , you. By the way it took you a long time with your.... specimen. "

Joy almost choked on the sip of water she had just drank.

Spencer's eyes widened and he covered his daughter's ears with his hands.

Winston opened his mouth and laughed but it sounded more like a dying walrus. Then he scribbled on his board and held it up. It read ," Well , Joe wasn't there to help but I got the job done, didn't I? Spencer texted me a link to a most interesting video. Professor Pete or something. "

Joy and Faith stared at Spencer who flushed red as he gazed over at the clinic's front entrance. Spencer said in a bemused voice," Isn't that Nigel's mother , Matilda of the dance hall girl music, going into the clinic? I hope she is well. "

Joy looked as well and said," Probably just a routine checkup. She is getting up there in age. "

Faith remained silent as she watched the older woman across the street entering the clinic with her hand pressed on her flat belly.
