Elvera Tells the Kids She's Pregnant: A Summary
Bringing all the kids to have a sit down dinner is always A Feat, not in that it's hard to get her family together, but rather that the MacLavers tend to eat and multitask.
Nolan was more like his mother than father at the table, on edge but noticeably less so than he has been in recent weeks. Jules was happy to be there and Rosie was texting on her phone most of the time.
Elvera didn't beat around the bush because she believes in a mostly honest approach. She let them know she was pregnant, how far along she was, and who the father was.
Jules was a little shocked, being that her mother is older and it's all unexpected. She doesn't mind that the father is Henry-- inwardly, she's actually pretty glad it's not Chip.
Nolan was less receptive and began to withdraw and clam up, as he does. After dinner, he rebuffed his mother's attempt to have a heart to heart with him, and instead decided to bounce to a friend's house.
Elvera spent the rest of the night with Jules and Rosie for as long as they wanted to.
