CHAPTER 567

She had no makeup on.

This was not how she envisioned meeting her mother-in-law.

"Here" Austyn gave her the phone.

He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. She won't bite.!!

Kira held the phone with both hands.

She sat up straight in bed and smoothed out her hair even though she knew the other person couldn't see her

"H-hello,"

"Is that Kira?" Charlotte was thrilled.

1. d. I've always wanted to meet you. It's good to hear your voice."

"Meme, too." Kira had no idea what she was saying

"You have a nice voice!

"Um, thank you, Mrs McCarthy."

'Call me Charlotte.' She paused. "Actually, I'd prefer it if you call me Mun

Kira's lips moved but no sound came out.

Helen was her biological mother, but Kira seldom got the chance to call her Mum.

Charlotte waited a beat. "Never mind. You probably need some time. Austyn told me you're pregnant?

"Uh, yes. We just found out this morning,

"That's such great news! Congrandations! Oh, I wish I could be there right now. Austyn is going to be a great dad, and I'm sure you'll be an excellent mother'

"Th Thank you" Kira licked her dry lips.

lave you booked an appointment to see a gynaecologist?"

'es."

ustyn had booked weekly prenatal visits to the hospital

Good. Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be fine. Have you experienced any morning sickness?"

No, not yet.

'That's good. You should be prepared, though. When I was pregnant with Austyn, I was sick almost every day for the second trimester. You sh more folate rich foods like oranges and lentils.* "Oh, okay." Kira gestured to Austyn and unimed writing.

She's Hit The Jackpot

Austyn picked up a notepad and a pen from the nightstand and handed them to her.

'And calcium, Charlotte continued. And eat more fish and fibre. But stay away from soft cheese. Don't forget to eat your veggies.."

Kira kept nodding.

Pregnancy was a great icebreaker for the two women.

Kira was too busy jotting down notes to feel nervous anymore.

She was grateful for having a mother-in-law who was so easy to get along with.

Mother and daughter-in-Law held an impromptu antenatal class over the phone.

Needless to say, they hit it off.

"Mrs McCarthy! What are you doing with the phone?

Kira heard another woman's voice on the line

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Oops. My theft has just been discovered Charlotte talked faster. I have to go. Will you send me pictures of the sonogram? And don't forget the sex of the baby when you find out. I hope it's a girl'. 'I will I hope it's a girl, too"

is McCarthy! That's my phone!"

'Bye!!

The call ended.

Kira turned to Austyn. 'Is your mum all right?".

She had put the call on speakerphone

Austyn heard everything.

'She's fine. The doctors just don't want her to use the phone for too long

Oh. Kira breathed out.

Then she sprang up from the bed and jumped into Austyn's arms.

Her face was flushed with excitement. "Your mum's so nice! And she has the gentlest voice! And she has so many great tip

Austyn smiled. "She's your mur, too

Kira nodded, feeling a little guilty.

She did want to call Charlotte 'Mum,' but she hesitated and the moment passed.

Not every mother was like Helen

Kira felt like she had hit the jackpot when she married Austyn.

She got a husband who was sometimes bossy but always dependable.

She got a baby on the way

And she got the world's most understanding mother-in-law.

Kira couldn't contain her elation and started bouncing on the bed.

'Kira Hewitt!" Austyn bellowed. "Get down this instant!!

Kira settled down, but not before pulling a face at Austyn, 'Stop treating me like a kid.'

"Then stop acting like one."

She sat cross-l

ss-legged on the bed. 'I was so nervous just now.'

Feeling prankish, she rubbed her hands on Austyn's bare arm. My palms are all sweary."

Austyn tolerated being used like a rag

Kira's happiness was contagious.

He watched her roll around on the bed, hugging a pillow and grinning to herself.

She wanted to wait till the first trimester was over.

Which meant Austyn had to abstain for another twn months, at least

She felt bad for him, but also secretly delighted for hervelt
