doctor has recommended she not work until the baby is born. Thankfully, she owns her spa so she can just give her employees more hours to cover her not being there. But it’s obvious the stay-at-home thing is not working for her.
    “Anastasia insisted I should bring you a care package from the shop, so…” I place the basket of bath salts, lotion, candles, and assorted comfort items on the table.
    “Oh, how sweet. She’s such a doll.” Laurie pokes at the ribbon and clear wrap to see what is inside.
    “She also said I should get your unbiased opinion what you think this is worth, as she wants to make a bunch to sell for the Christmas season.”
    “I’ve never known anyone to be so happy with a job in retail,” says Laurie as she rips off the wrapping. “It really isn’t healthy, I think.” She pops the lid on one of the lotions and sniffs it. “Mandarin Ginger? Nice.”
    “She did a great deal of research to make sure she only selected fragrances that were pregnancy-safe.”
    “I’m sure she did.” Laurie laughs. “Let me make a pot of coffee.”
    We settle in at her kitchen table with coffee and lemon pound cake. Laurie shows me the latest ultrasound images. She also shows me Megan’s list of suggested baby brother names. “Maybe you can get off cheap for her birthday and let her pick the name as her gift,” I jokingly suggest.
    “I will not have my son going through life with the name Clawd or Gillington, thank you very much!”
    “Maybe as a middle name?” I take a bite of the pound cake. “Scott tell you we talked yesterday?”
    “No, but I guess that is why he was in a sour mood when he got home?”
    “He got a little defensive. I offered to host Thanksgiving this year so you didn’t have to do all the work.”
    “Oh.” She fills her mouth with a huge piece of cake and looks down at her plate.
    “I’m not here trying to go behind his back, Laurie. I just realize there is something wrong and I was hoping you could tell me what it was.”
    “There is nothing wrong, Nancy. We decided not to raise the children with magic. I’ve stopped casting around Megan and I don’t even talk about it around her anymore. The only thing wrong is that nobody seems to respect our decision.”
    “I respect that decision. I walked away from the craft for a while myself. My offer had nothing to do with pushing magic on Megan.”
    “I’m sure Wanda had nothing to do with it.”
    “My mother respects your decision, too. She just wants to see everyone together for the holidays.”
    “Scott says Wanda is practically living…if that is the word…with you these days.”
    “She visits often, but only because she was helping me take over the shop and take care of some loose ends. I was away from the craft for a while so I needed help getting back into the swing of things.”
    “You took your Rank Two Trials not four months after your mother died. That is a little more than just getting back into the swing of things.”
    “It wasn’t really my idea....it was complicated and a lot of crazy stuff was going on and…it doesn’t matter. The point is I respect that as Megan’s parents it is your right and responsibility to make decisions for her. I understand why you would want to delay exposing her to more magic than necessary. And I have no intention of telling you what to do. And neither does my mother. Believe me, I am the first person to admit that my mother can be as manipulative and conniving as anyone else’s mom. But she isn’t a liar. We can have Thanksgiving at my house. You can take it easy. And Mom can see the family without doing anything that would alert Megan to her presence.”
    “Nancy—”
    “She swears on my father’s grave, Laurie.”
    “She said that?”
    “Yeah. Would you at least just let Scott know that? I doubt he’ll take another phone call from me anytime soon.”
    “What did my mother do at your shop?”
    “What did Megan tell you?”
    “Nothing, but I sensed the
