The More the Merrier

Arissa asked Shaun softly, “Were you telling the truth about Mdm. Mary’s examination? Is everything really okay?”

“Yes!” Shaun nodded firmly and replied, “Once Mdm. Mary comes out of the restroom, bring her back to the same examination room as before. We have more tests to conduct.”

Arissa nodded. As a woman herself, she immediately knew what tests Shaun was referring to.

However, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper shared looks of confusion.

Jasper was the first to ask, “Mommy, hasn’t Grandma finished her tests? Why does she need to do it again? Will she still need to hold in her pee?”

Oliver tacked on and questioned, “Yeah, Mommy. Aren’t all the tests done?”

Gavin and Zachary stared at her expectantly as well.

Arissa felt awkward about explaining things to them, and she chastised them, “You’re just kids. Don’t ask so many questions!”

“We’re asking because we don’t know!” Jasper mumbled before pouting.

His reaction drew a smile out of Arissa, who declared, “I’m going into the restroom to check on Mdm. Mary.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, Mommy. We won’t run off!” Gavin promised earnestly.

His sense of responsibility relieved Arissa to no end.
