“That’s not all you’re going to receive,” Rain
says, smiling. “We’re just at the beginning of
everything and I’m planning on spoiling this girl
for her whole life, you know,” she adds.
“Yeah, about that,” I start, a bit uncertain. “I
was thinking this baby is going to need someone,
you know, a godmother who will always help her,
support her…”
Rain looks at me with wide open eyes.
“I don’t believe there’s anyone better than you
for this assignment. You’re the best friend I have
and the best person I know. If you feel like you’re
up to it.”
Rain jumps off the couch and hugs me.
“Are you joking? I already love her like crazy!
Thank you, thank you,” she says through her tears.
I hold her to me with sweetness. Rain can’t have
children and I know how much she suffers because
of that. She was a teacher before the accident and
always dreamed of having a family of her own
some day. I’m so sorry for her and feel
embarrassed at times talking about the baby in
front of her. I worry about hurting her. But she is
so special and sincere I know she’s happy for me
and this new life of mine.
“Have I interrupted something?” Liam pops his
head in the door.
“Honey!” Rain runs to him. “Erin just asked me
to be the godmother! Me!” And she hugs him
tightly.
