  They both say yes, so Nat pulls down two more flutes.

  When she gets to pouring the fifth flute, I instinctively throw my hand over the glass. “Just water for me.”

  Nat’s jaw drops and Jessie screams in delight.

  I clarify. “It’s nothing. I’m just on some antibiotics.”

  Nat mock-chastises, “You are such a liar.” While Jessie simultaneously asks, “Can I throw your baby shower?”

  “Wait,” Nat says. “But didn’t you drink at my wedding?”

  I smile and shake my head. “Nope. I was pretty stealthy about it. I drank orange juice and soda water.”

  Jessie’s face lights up. “Why, you little sneak. So how far along are you?”

  I pull out a small black-and-white picture to show two little babies swimming happily. “This far along.”

  “Twins?!” Jessie and Nat scream simultaneously while jumping up and down.

  And to paraphrase the ending of a story I had to read in an AP English class (though apparently Jessie didn’t):

  And they lived happily ever after.
