Tom and Lucy arrived at Sonia's and Bryan's home when it was time for the party. Tom offered Lucy his arm as she got out of the car and she smiled, looping hers through his.
The front door swung open before they could knock. Jade stood there, a glass of wine in her hand and a playful scowl on her face. "You're late!" she teased, stepping aside to let them in.
"It's only five minutes past seven," Tom replied with a shrug.
"Five minutes is late when you're the celebrants," Jade quipped, giving Lucy a pointed look. "But it's better late than never, so I'll let it slide."
Lucy laughed. "Thanks, Jade. I need to go say hello to the baby first," she said, glancing toward the hallway that led to the nursery.
Sonia and the baby had been discharged the previous evening after spending twenty four hours at the hospital and were cleared to go home.
