“Yes.” I slapped his chest with the dishtowel in my hand.
“What are you making?”
“You’ll see. Go upstairs and change. It’s almost ready.”
“Okay.” He grinned.
The smell of the baby peas and carrots cooking made me nauseous. I wanted to die when I walked into Four Kinds to pick up the ribs. I set the table and told Conner to sit down.
“I can help, babe.”
“No. You sit there and let me serve you.” I smiled.
I set the food on the table and took the seat across from him.
“We have a salad made with baby spinach. Baby back ribs, baby red potatoes, and baby carrots and peas.”
“Damn. It looks and smells delicious. Thanks, babe. I can’t believe you did this.”
“I couldn’t remember if you like cooked BABY carrots and BABY peas.”
“Yeah. They’re fine.”
“And you like BABY spinach, right?”
“Yeah. I love baby spinach. Damn. These ribs are good.”
“You mean the BABY back ribs?”
He stared at me for a second, and I smiled. He’d finally figured it out.
“Hold on a second. Did you get these ribs from Sebastian?”
“YES!” I shouted.
“Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were trying to pass them off as if you made them.”
“Oh, my freaking God, Conner! Look at the dinner I made you.”
“I am, babe, and I’m enjoying every bit of it.” His brows furrowed. “What is wrong with you?”
I took a moment to calm down and smiled sweetly at him.
“Baby back ribs, baby spinach salad, baby red potatoes, and baby carrots and peas. What do all those foods have in common?”
He looked down at his plate and then back at me.
“I don’t really know.” He nervously answered.
Thank God I had a backup plan. Even Ella could have figured it out. I stood up from my chair and went into the laundry room, where I had the small gift bag hidden. Grabbing it, I handed it to him.
“What’s this?” A grin crossed his face.
“You’ll see when you open it.”
He removed the tissue paper, reached into the bag, and pulled out a yellow pair of baby booties.
“Baby booties?” He looked at me, and then suddenly, his eyes grew wide. “Holy shit! Are you pregnant?”
