Me
That’s really nice of you. I’m mostly better. Not one hundred percent, but at least I’m eating actual food again instead of just bagels and Jolly Ranchers.
Jo
That’s great to hear. Our older sister Hallie was sick for her entire first pregnancy, and now she’s sick again for her second one. It sounds awful.
Me
It was…not great.
Hannah
You can be real with us, you know. We don’t hold back.
Me
It fucking sucked. Pregnancy, in general, is the worst.
Cece
Damn right it is.
Pam
It’s the absolute worst and I still have no idea how I did it four times. I’m glad you decided to come for Christmas. I’m sure my son has been taking good care of you, but I’ll be needing to see for myself.
Me
He takes better care of me than I take of myself.
Pam
As he should.
Cece
I just knew it. Cooper is a caretaker right down to his bones.
Me
He sure is.
Jo
Do I detect some affection in that tone? Is there a you and Cooper thing going on?
Also, hi, I have no filter. You’ll get used to it.
Hannah
Or you won’t, but she’s not going to change.
Jo
You love it, Hans. Because of me, you get all the gossip you don’t want to ask for yourself.
