F*ck Me Pumps

Next to Me

"The appointment is at 1:30." Beau reached up on top of the fridge and grabbed a box of Lucky Charms.

She shifted the phone between her ear and shoulder so she could grab a bowl.

"I know. I still remember it from the last few times you told me." Parker smiled on the phone.

"Just reminding you." Beau dug in the box for pieces of marshmallows throwing out the pencil shaving tasting things.

She looked over her shoulder at Grace, who cheerfully bounced on one of the barstools.

Beau held up the box of cereal to her and Grace shook her head," My brother said that that's for you, that you eat only the marshmallows out of there. We're not allowed to touch it."

Beau's mouth fell open," Parker did you tell Grace she wasn't allowed any of the Lucky Charms?"

"Yea, they're for you-"

"No!" Beau shook her head," they're for anyone."

"Beau. You only eat the marshmallows and the rest is trash. Grace doesn't mind and I don't eat cereal. So it's yours." Parker reasoned.

Beau rolled her eyes because there was no winning with Parker," Are you picking me up?"

Grace grabbed a box of Toaster Strudels out the fridge and popped them into the toaster. Beau grabbed a plate for her and set it next to Grace.

"Thanks."

Beau smiled a welcome.

"Uh," Parker checked on his agenda to see when was the earliest he could leave," Yea. I'll pick you up around 12:15?"

Beau watched Grace pull the tarts out and place the icing in the microwave, a trick she learned from her.

"Grace, are you coming-"

"She'll be bored out of her mind." Parker butted in swiftly.

"Grace, did you want to go to the doctor's office with us? It'll be fun." Beau lied, she didn't know what to expect in that place.

Grace looked up from spreading the warm icing on the strudels and stuck her finger in her mouth," Yes, about the baby?"

"Mhm. And then maybe, if you're up to it. We could go to Orange Leaf and get frozen yogurt, my treat?"

Grace's eyes lit up," Yes!"

Parker sighed," Alright. 12:15."

"We'll be ready." Beau said picking a few more marshmallows out of the box.

"Okay. I love you." Parker reaching over to end the call.

"I love you too." Beau smiled, hanging up.

"Beau and Parker sitting in the tree-" Grace sang.

"Lord." Beau shook her head and dug into the cereal once more.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes," Grace paused," wait."

Beau laughed," Yup. Doesn't work for us."

"What's the doctor's name?" Parker said stopping at a red light.

He had picked them up less than ten minutes ago, and now they were on their way to the doctor's office.

Beau looked down at the pamphlet one of the nurses from the hospital had given her.

"Dr. Carson. Sheldon Carson."

"A man?" Parker asked, taking his foot off the brake pedal.

"Yup." Beau smiled," Jealous?"
