Mac's mom and her cookies

Ariana's POV:
The next day Mac and I just planned to sit on the couch and watch movies, like always but he suddenly got a call from his Mom. She told him that she was baking cookies and would like us to come over.
I'm still totally full from yesterday, but I mean, there's always some space for a couple of cookies.
So now we're getting ready. I'm putting on some boyfriend jeans and one of Macs hoodies. That's like everything I've been wearing the past few days.
Today I decided to only put on some natural make up since Mac don't really likes it when I wear make up.
He's simply wearing black jeans and a red shirt with some patterns on it.

"Hello you two! Come on in" Karen greets us.
We both hug her tight and quickly get in.
I can already smell the cookies from far away as we walk into the living room and sit down on the couch.
I examine everything while Karen gets the cookies.
I like it here. Everything is pretty decorated. The furniture seems to fit perfectly together and looks amazing.
"You have a beautiful house Miss McCormick" I have to say.
She chuckles slightly and thanks me:"Oh thank you. But you can call me Karen, sweetie. My husband decorated and planned the house. He's an architect you know?"
Wow she's so nice. I already love her. She would be best friends with my mom, they fit together as friends really well.
"Do you want a cookie?" She asks, making me nod. I'm not gonna deny a goddamn cookie baked by Karen. Mac told me a lot about her and he always mentioned her amazing cookies. So I can't say no.
He quickly grabs one too.
As I take a bite, I suddenly understand why Mac praised them so much. I thought he overreacted but.. holy shit. These cookies are fucking delicious.
I can't get enough of them.
"So... triplets, huh?" Karen tries to start a conversation.
I just nod as Mac talks:"Yeah. We where shocked when we found out. I mean, she's so small. How can three babies fit inside of her?"
I suddenly feel someone's hand on my stomach and smile.
"Wow you can already feel a slight bulge" Karen says fascinated as she keeps feeling my belly.
"You know, Mac was really small when he was in my stomach. I was actually hoping that I'm gonna get really big. It's weird I know. But I never got as big as I hoped and was kinda disappointed..." She explains and laughs a little.
I'm holding Mac's hand and look at him smiling "I was really small too"
He kisses me and jokes around:"You still are"
I hit his arm playfully and catch Karen's attention "Do you want another cookie?" She asks me. I nod again as she hands me one.

We talk about all kind of stuff, like, pregnancy, food, movies, Mac and I moving together but she also told me a lot about Mac when he was a child. She told me how he loved doing sports and especially football. The most important thing was, the story about him being addicted to drugs. She explained it as a horrible time. The worst years in his and her life. It was a miracle that he was able to get out of that.
