Re: Quin and Gen
There were a lot of things that had happened since Easter, and her mind was still reeling from so much of it, but dancing with Coop yesterday was definitely at the top of the list of mind-muddling events. "It has!" she agreed, sighing softly before leaning in to give Fee a bunch of silly kisses on his neck, making the toddler giggle. This made her heart ache, too, because she knew that if things had worked out the way she and Coop thought they would nine months ago when they first took that home pregnancy test, she would be due about now or have a tiny newborn of her own.
She hadn't thought about that in months, and she was overwhelmed with the emotions as it hit her all at once now.
But Quin didn't know that she'd been pregnant for that brief time. Her mum and Coop were the only ones that knew, unless Coop had told anyone. The woman who rarely cries had to blink back the tears then, trying desperately to get her emotions under control. And then Fee squirmed and bounced and gave her a very wet kiss on the cheek, and she gave a little laugh at it. God, she loved babies. "Not entirely, though I've been trying. This holiday has been... eventful so far," she admitted, embarrassed that she sounded so emotional.
