“Georgie,” Dick chimed in, “Get off your lazy pregnant ass and greet your brother’s girlfriend.”
Georgia flipped him the bird, and Cassie laughed. “Damn, Wheorgie’s in a mood tonight.”
“Dick,” Savannah chastised. “You know she’s probably tired from all of the pregnancy sex that she and Kline have been having. Her sexual aura is practically encompassing us all.” She looked around at all of the characters who’d assembled there and smirked. “It’s making us all horny.”
“Jesus, Mom,” Will breathed out on a sigh.
“Oh, don’t be such a prude, William. You know I taught you better than that.”
A ridiculously handsome guy hopped out of his seat and held out his hand toward me. “I’m Kline, Georgia’s husband, and Will’s brother-in-law.”
“Hi, I’m Melody.”
“Oh, believe me,” Kline said with amusement. “I’m more than aware of who you are after your lunch date with Will and the gossip queens.”
“I take offense to that!” Georgia exclaimed, but Kline just grinned in response.
“We’re not gossip queens,” she added and looked toward Cassie. “Back me up, Casshead.”
Cassie smirked and shook her head. “We’re totally gossip queens. And you’re the worst of the bunch.”
“I am not!”
“You definitely are,” Thatch added as he sat down beside his wife and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to his side. “And the fact that you can’t lie or keep a secret if your life depended on it makes it even worse.”
“I can lie,” Georgia refuted and looked around the room, but when no one spoke up in agreement, she looked toward her mom. “Mom?”
“Sorry, honey, but you’re the world’s worst liar,” Savannah disagreed, and Dick chuckled.
“Yeah, Georgie,” he chimed in. “You were even a shit liar when you were a kid.”
“I was not!” she argued. “I hid loads of things from you guys.”
“Honey, we knew about your hump pillow about a week after you started masturbating.”
“Mom!” Georgia’s cheeks flushed pink.
Dick appeared more than amused. “It’s true, Georgie,” he continued the conversation. “Your mother had to sneak into your room every month just to make sure that thing got washed.”
Will laughed at his sister’s embarrassment, and she flipped him off. “Shut up, Will. Everyone in the house knew those hour-long showers weren’t for hygiene purposes.”
“Wow. Thanks, Gigi.”
She flashed a curt smile in his direction. “You’re welcome.”
“Wait a minute…” Cassie said and looked at Thatch. “Did I just hear that my little Wheorgie had a sex pillow?”
Thatch grinned. “I know, right? Tonight is fantastic.”
“Everyone shut up about the pillow!”
“We still have it in the attic at home if anyone wants to see it,” Savannah added kindly, and Georgia sighed in frustration.
“Oh. My. God.”
Kline grinned and wrapped a comforting arm around his wife’s shoulder. As he pulled her close to his side and let her hide her face against his chest, he mouthed toward Savannah, “I want that pillow.”
Savannah winked and mouthed back, “Stop by tomorrow.”
