"What am I agreeing to?" she questions.
"Kiki equals special juju."
She nods as she grabs a pancake, pours syrup on, folds it in half, and starts chowing down. "She totally does."
I just watch as Sera eats pancake after pancake and notice everyone else watching too. Cage just chuckles. How he manages to do that without cracking a full smile, I'll never know.
When the plate is empty, she looks up, licking the syrup from her fingers, and notices everyone staring. "What?"
I shake my head. "I've never seen you eat like that."
She huffs. "It's notme.It's the baby."
I lift a brow and Cage shakes his head in warning.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asks.
Cage looks heavenward.
"The baby has taken control of my body," Sera says matter-of-factly.
I step back, make the sign of the cross, and move to the other side of the room to where Tera and Josie are sitting.
"Um…" Lucy begins. "You better talk to Nana."
"Oh, I already did. I'm going over there later today. I'm going to be five hundred pounds if I keep eating like this," she whines.
"Fee," Cage says softly. "You won't."
She turns to him with a slight glare. "It wants all carbs!"
"That's not true," he corrects. "You've also been eating a lot of everything else, too."
Sera rests her head on his shoulder, and he wraps an arm around her, rubbing her upper arm. "You're right, but that only makes it worse." She sits upright. "Do I smell cake?"
How the hell did she know there was cake? Mrs. M made ityesterday. I'm so ready to bolt from this room.
"Come, Serafina. I have delicious cake for you and the bambina," Mrs. M invites.
"It's not chocolate, right? Chocolate gives me heartburn now," Sera whines. "I love chocolate." A tear slips from her eye as she walks with Mrs. M.
I look at Cage and mouth, "Wow."
He doesn't respond in any way, but I bet he's wondering just what the hell he's gotten himself into.
"Lord have mercy," Link says quietly. "I'm so glad I like dick."
Ethan chuckles. "Amen."
Nicole smirks. "That may be true, but you're still around the pregnant ladies."
"Not 24/7," Link replies. "I think I'd have to be committed."
"Careful," Cage warns. "That's my wife you're talking about."
"Ever the alpha protector," Lucy smiles.
Cage nods.
