Ramona chuckled softly, "Understood, sweetheart."

"As long as you know," I replied with a smile.

To my surprise, Christine waved her hands dismissively, "Oh, don't bother about me. I've got nothing pressing. I'll stay here at the hospital with Ramona. Better that than having you, a pregnant lady, worrying al night long, unable to eat or sleep properly. Wouldn't want that affecting my goddaughter's growth now, would we?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Is it really that serious?"

Christine ushered me out of the room, "It's getting late. Go home, take a nice shower, and get some good sleep. And remember to bring me my favorite lobster bisque for lunch tomorrow!"

"Alright, lobster bisque it is," I promised, touched by her thoughtfulness, "Thank you, Chris."

I knew her request for lunch was just her way of giving me some peace of mind.
