offer. "There's no need to trouble you further. I'll take this one. It's perfect," she said, her voice tight with emotion.
Rose observed Clarissa's tension with a pang of sadness. "Ready-made garments may not offer the sfit as bespoke ones. There might be sadjustments needed. I recommend trying it on in the fitting room for the best result. If alterations are necessary, I'll take care of it." Clarissa hesitated briefly before she walked into the fitting room. 9
Chapter 0442 “I’m guessing the Halloween party. We have been discussing costumes and food.” “Alec said she wants them to go a disco ball and a 70s person.” I looked at her to gage her reaction.
Penny tossed her head back and laughed. “Tloved that idea. It was by far one of the better ones she tossed out there.” “What else did she want?” I asked.
“Either she was going to be the volleyball from Castaway and make him Tom Hanks or be Juno.” “Those are horrible ideas.” Shaking my head, we walked back to the livingroom and sat down.
“There was smore sexual ones but we all decided to go as sornething funny.” Penny had made the recliners | hers. There was pillows lining it all the edges. Cups and snacks were piled neatly on the end table and her computer was within arms reach.
“The Moon Goddess was funny?” I asked turning on the T.V.
“Better than the gumball machine she wantedto be.” Penny pulled up a blanket as Friends started playing. By the tI looked over at the next commercial, she was passed out.
Wanting to be helpful, I got up and picked up the livingroom, did the dishes and got the laundry rotated.
There was scleaning stuff out so | went ahead and cleaned the bathrooms. I had just finished folding
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe blankets when the doorbell rang.
“What?” Penny shot up, looking confused.
“Looks like Alec and Ice are here.” I tried to hide my laughter as I opened the door.
“Hey!” Ice smiled as she cin. Alec was holding a few different bags and took them straight to the kitchen.
“Oh no! I was going to do scleaning before you got here.” Penny frowned.
“Already did it.” I said as I went into the kitchen with Alec.
“You can cdo my house next.” Ice laughed as the girls cin.
“The builders have finished putting in
all the cabinets and shit. Our hour is a giant dust collection.” Alec was pulling the food out. He placed two salads in front of the girls and him and I each got a steak.
“I can’t wait to see it!” Penny looked excited. “I'm surprised you managed to do it all by yourself. Usually, I have to do it all for you.” “Hey!” Ice faked looking hurt. I was mid way into a beer and choked on it.
Beer cout my nose, making my eyes water.
“She isn’t wrong.” I laughed as I cleaned my face.
“If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have even made it to fifteen years old.” Penny opened her salad and took a bite.
“Send your ass back to the orphanage.” Ice grumbled. “I did sstuff!” Gi | “You did. You gaveall the information and I organized, created a plan and submitted it. Then I did the followup checks and daily set ups.” Penny looked at Ice like she dared her to argue.
“Whatever. I was running my own shop.” “Speaking of which, I am going to need a tattoo once our babies are born.” I said to her.
“What are you going to get?” Ice asked, eagerly.
“I'was thinking about their footprints down my arm or something.” “With three of them, that would be |
really cute.” Ice agreed.
“Yeah, that is what I am going for....cute.” Rolling my eyes, I just finished my beer off and got started on my food.
“Alec said you have something you wanted to discuss with us?” Penny asked after we were quiet for awhile.
“Yeah so.... we found out we are having agirl.” “That’s so exciting!” Penny’s eyes got wide as she smiled.
“Thank you. We wanted to have a handful of kids so Alec will have another chance for a boy.” “Hey! Girls are just as capable as men.” Penny pointed her fork at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I know that but I'm not going to raise my daughter like Kristen was raised. If she wants to fight, that will be her choice. If she wants to be a princess and get pampered, that’s okay too.” Part ofwas a little put off by that but I understood where he was coming from. Ice didn’t have the best upbringing and had very little choice on her life. He wanted to make sure his daughter was given the options her mother didn’t have.
“So, what is the question?” I asked.
“Well, I was wanting to see if you guys have talked about baby names? We were discussing sand [ was thinking about naming our daughter, | Adalynn.”
That surpriseda little. We have talked about baby nsbut nothing more than a few suggestions: Putting another bite in my mouth, I just looked at Ice. Alec and Penny didn’t say anything but watched us. Ice was clearly nervous but I wasn’t sure why.
“Why are you so nervous?” I finally asked.
“I’m not nervous!” She rolled her eyes and looked away from me.
“I can see it all over your face.” I said, calling her out on her bullshit.
“I just didn’t know if you wanted to nyour daughter after our mother.” “I'haven’t really put much thought into baby names. I’ve been busy doing
other things.” “Well, you should. Your babies will be here sooner than later and since there are three, you need to be ready.” Ice gavea pointed look.
“I’m trying to make sure the world is a safer place and their mother isn’t in danger.” I challenged her back.
“We really have only thrown names out there but we haven’t had a serious conversation about what to nthem.” Penny said, trying to defuse any tension.
“Ice, if you want to nyour daughter Adalynn, that’s fine by me.” I tried to sound as neutral as possible.
“Are you sure? We can look at other names.” Ice looked atuneasily.
“I’m sure. Adalynn what?” I asked.
“Adalynn Grace.” y—
