Dorothy finally got a real taste of the saying, "Open mouth, insert foot."
By the time she was completely drained, unable to even stand up for a shower, and had to be carried by Everett, she still hadn't figured it out...
What exactly did she say wrong today?
They were just talking about kids.
Kids!
Right, having kids!
After Everett placed her back on the bed, Dorothy curled up in his arms and snuggled closer.
"You want to go again?"
"…No, no, no!" She shook her head like a bobblehead, "I just wanted to ask, how do you feel about Jeffrey having another daughter?"
Everett propped his arm under her as a pillow, pulling her close to his chest, the other hand gently stroking her hair.
"Feel?" He actually took a moment to think, "I feel like karma really does come around."
Jeffrey used to date so many women, never taking responsibility, and now karma has gifted him with two daughters, keeping him on his toes, worried day and night.
"…" Dorothy was speechless, frowning, "That's not the kind of feeling I was talking about!"
Everett smiled, lowering his gaze to her face, "I know what you mean. You want to make up for what I'm missing, right?"
"Yeah!"
"Dorothy, I've said it before, as long as I have you, Abigail, and Langston, I'm not missing out on anything."
Dorothy sat up abruptly, "You've said before that you wanted to be the first to see our child being born."
"More than that, I want to see you safe and sound." Everett grasped her hand gently, "Carrying a child for nine months is too draining for you! Don’t you want to start your own business? If you get pregnant now, your plans will have to be put on hold indefinitely."
