Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 814

Andre slipped into the car, immediately enveloped by its cozy warmth. It's funny how people always yearn for what they don't have. When it's blazing hot in the summer, they crave the crisp chill of winter, and when winter's icy grip takes hold, they dream of the searing

summer sun.

Mia was definitely missing the warmth of home. At least there, she wouldn't be shivering so hard her teeth felt like they might chatter loose.

When Molly called to check in, she picked up on Mia's longing and said, "Mia, count your blessings. Winter will pass, and summer will follow. The seasons shift, so let's just enjoy the here and now."

Mia teased, "Wow, since when did you become so wise?"

"Are you okay, though?"

After a pause, Molly dropped a surprise. "Mia, I'm thinking about having a baby with Chad. Do you think I'm rushing things?"

Mia took her time before answering, "Well, I had that crazy thought too but was too scared to tell you. Having a kid is a huge deal, you know? You should really think it over. I was over the moon when I found out I was pregnant, but then it felt like my whole life went on hold."

Molly slumped against her bed, a bit downcast. "Sigh... How did it happen for you? Did you take any fertility meds?"

Talking about the intimate details was awkward for Mia. "Honestly, we weren't really sure which time did the trick, but out of nowhere, Henry came along. It might've been one of those nights where..."

The sisters chatted for over an hour. "Is Chad working tonight?"

"Yeah, he's on a night shift. Aren't Andre and Henry with you?"

Mia laughed, "Henry insisted on going out, so Andre took him for a walk. It's way too cold for me out there."

Andre returned from the walk, both he and Henry chilled to the bone. Little Henry, with his rosy nose from the cold, darted excitedly to his mom.

After shedding their heavy coats, Mia scooped up her son, while Molly wrapped up the call.
