"Fuck I'm so exhausted, that hospital will kill me" I heard my mom and I slowed down in my steps. I heard a chuckle which I knew was from Vanessa.
"Oh come on sis, I know you're stronger than that" she mused.
"Really? You wanna say that? Look at the bags under my eyes and tell me if I don't look like a nightmare before Christmas"
A rumble of laughter broke through and I knew it came from both of them this time. I was finally down the stairs, but I remained there watching their interaction in the living room.
"I haven't been home for days, are the kids okay?"
"They are getting quite along you know, literally doing everything together, the connection is amazing. You would hardly believe they haven't known each other until recently"
"Really?"
"Oh come on Vivian don't cry"
