Lucy:Our baby is the size of a head of lettuce this week!

Noah:I know. Crazy to think that you’re already at 7 months. This pregnancy is just flying by!

Lucy:Says you! I’m the one with swollen ankles, bloating, gas, an overactive bladder, back pain …

Lucy:Should I go on?

Noah:Sorry, babe. I’m just excited. Have I told you how amazing you are lately? Or how grateful I am to you?

Lucy:Maybe. You could do it again, though ;-)

Noah:Okay. I think you’re amazing.

Lucy:Good. Continue …

Noah:And I’m so grateful to you for carrying our child.

Lucy:Mm-hmm. And …?

Noah:And there’s another back rub in your future.

Lucy: …typing

Noah:And a foot rub. Plus I’ll pick you up some of that lemon gelato tonight.

Lucy:I like it. I like it.

Noah:Also, I love you.

> Lucy has liked this comment?

???

Noah:I’m so sorry I had to miss your appointment this morning. I hope you know I had every intention of being there before we got word that Jane Doe had woken up.

Lucy:It’s okay, Noah. I understand that sometimes your job is unpredictable.

Lucy:Were you able to interview her? Is there a break in the case?

Noah:You know I can’t discuss the details, but they’re talking about releasing her in another week or so and once that happens this news will likely be all over town, so I guess it’s alright for me to tell you that she has amnesia.

Lucy:Gasp!!!! Just like in a soap opera! :-0

Lucy:She doesn’t remember anything?!

Noah:I really can’t tell you any more than that, but I will say that I’m extremely frustrated.

Lucy:I bet. I’m sorry, Noah. I know you were hoping that she’d be able to tell you what happened.

Noah:Thanks. Yeah.

Noah:Tell me about your appointment. Did you ask Doctor Lee about the vaccine?

Lucy:Yes, I read her all of the questions you had about it and she answered every one. It’s all good, but I’ll fill you in later tonight.

Noah:Sorry kitten, it’s looking like I’m going to have to work really late.

Lucy:Oh, okay. See you tomorrow then?
