Avery rested for two weeks at home and the injury on her head had recovered. She wanted to head back to the office for work, but Elliot had asked for her help in arranging Shea's wedding.
She called Tammy out to accompany Wesley and Shea in viewing the venue.
Shea wanted a wedding on a grass field, so Tammy recommended a garden. "There is a grass field in the garden as well! I took photos of the flowers there once and they were super pretty. I promise that you are going to like it."
"I think a garden is nice as well, but let’s go and have a look first. Whether Shea likes it is the most important thing." Avery
glanced at Tammy's belly. "Tammy, your belly is showing. I thought you were only four months into the pregnancy?" "I eat a lot. I didn't have the appetite before and now that I've gotten better, I feel like eating everything. It's called retaliatory eating. I know it's not okay but I can't control myself," Tammy said gloomily, "I'm only four months into the pregnancy and I've already gained five pounds. My weight might just exceed a hundred pounds by the time I reach full term."
"It's fine even if you do. Once you give birth, your weight will come down," Avery spoke from experience, "during the later phase of your pregnancy, just the amniotic fluid and the baby alone would weigh over ten pounds."
"That's what my mom tells me too and that's why my appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If I don't slim down after giving birth, I am coming for the two of you." Tammy dragged Avery's arm over and leaned against her shoulder.
"Tammy, is your baby a boy or a girl?" Shea asked with a smile.
"Shea, we won't know until she gives birth,” Avery said.
"I am guessing that it's a girl," Tammy said in a mysterious tone.
"Then your dream is coming true."
"Yeah! I want a daughter who's as sweet as I am, how great would that be?" Tammy couldn't hide the joy on her face. "Let's match-make our kids then!"
"Sure! We will truly become a family!"
