“Yes, I do.”
Charly joined them, carrying a fresh pitcher of tea. “What are you two talking about?”
Shelby smiled as Jess brought her hand to her mouth.
“No you don’t,” Charly said, glaring down at both of them. Her baby bump was just starting to show. “Details.”
“Swear you won’t tell a soul?” she asked her.
“Oh my God. Shelby, you’re pregnant.”
“See, Shelby.” Jessie turned to Charly. “That’s what I just told her. A woman knows her body. When did you know you were having a baby?”
Charly answered, “I was a day late on my period.”
“I’m never late.” Shelby felt happy tears welling up in her eyes. She would take the test tonight, but she now knew what it would reveal. “I’m going to have a baby.”
