Trey's House
20 weeks...
Melissa was in the kitchen when Lexi went downstairs, yawning into the back of her hand. When she looked up and saw her, a big grin split her face. "Hey you."
Lexi returned the infectious smile, cupping her bump as she settled on a high stool. "Hey. I thought Maya would be cooking today. Aren't you busy with work?"
Melissa shrugged. "It can wait a bit. Life's not all about work, and it's been a while since I spent quality time with you - alone."
"Meaning Trey's not here," Lexi concluded with a nod, stiffling another yawn. "Where's he?"
"Off to meet a certain murderer, I believe," she murmured, going back to the food simmering in the pot. "He was tense when leaving."
"He's too stubborn for his own good," Lexi replied with a fond smile. "Has always been. Did you suggest he not go?"
