“I should have seen that coming, but I didn’t,” I said.

Then we all went over to her.

“Holy shit, we gotta get you to a hospital,” Sharon said.

Then she set aside her anger for a little while and we all made the trip out to the hospital. We got Jeanette a room and she was in labor, but everyone was waiting in the waiting room.

“So you must be Callie?” Sharon asked.

“Yes, and Sharon, right?” I asked.

“Yes. This is Kevin, my new husband, but I see John got a new wife too,” Sharon replied.

“And he got this little one, we named her Jeanette too,” I said.

“Why did you name her that?” Kevin asked.

“Well, if it wasn’t for Jeanette, we might not have ever met and had this girl,” John replied.

“OK then. How old is she now?” Sharon asked.

“About 7 months now,” I replied.

“And that’s your mom in there with her now?” Sharon asked.

“Yes, and she married your daughter,” I replied.

Then I think she felt that they were the odd ones out. Well she was the one that never made the trip out there with us or just call and tell Jeanette about her being remarried. So it was hard to feel too bad for her honestly, but I was a new mom though, so I did have some sympathy for her.

“Sharon, I’m not one that will or even wants to get in the middle of you two, but I’ll tell you this, you made her really depressed and upset. So if you are gonna stick around, then stick around and don’t ditch her. I mean, she is really happy with my mom here, and we want her to stay happy. I know we just met, but still, I’ve been around her a lot more than you, and the last thing we want is for her to be unhappy,” I said.

Then she just had this disgusted look on her face.

“Well shit, you just put me in my place, if you weren’t her best friend and holding a baby I think I’d slap you, honestly,” Sharon said.

I wasn’t too happy about that.

“Take Jeanette, John,” I said as I handed her to him.

“Callie,” John replied.

Then I came towards Sharon and gave a piece of my mind and I really think I got John turned on by that.

“Well Sharon, whether or not you like my words, due to some sympathies I had, past tense now, for you, I said that as nicely as I could. Your ex-husband thinks I’m the sweetest woman on the planet and I think he is the sweetest man on the planet. Jeanette never told me why exactly she was angry about you coming other than the fact you never told her that you married this guy, no offense, Kevin,” I said.

“None taken,” Kevin replied.

“You seemed nice at first, but I try to be reasonable with you, and you say you would slap me? Well with all due respect, bleep you. I choose not curse around my daughter,” I said.

Then she did something maybe I should have seen coming emotionally anyway, but did not. She kissed me.

“Shit, you too?” I asked as I sat back down.

Then we all just stay silent for about another 10 minutes, then the nurse let us all in. Then we finally found out that they had a little girl named Callie. Jeanette was holding her there as she was all wrapped up. Jeanette and Christina were both tearing up big time. Then Sharon came up there close to Jeanette and she began tearing up as well as she met Christina. Truth be told I wanted to strangle her then, but I didn’t. We all stayed there for about 2 hours and hovered around little Callie.

“Well, Christina, could you give Kevin and I a place to crash tonight?” Sharon asked.

“Sure. Is there tension here?” Christina asked.

“No, I’m just thinking about my daughter and my granddaughter, and we can get to know each other too,” Sharon replied.

Of course I was skeptical of her new found interest in Jeanette and the whole thing, but maybe what I said meant something to her. So eventually John and I had to leave because little Jeanette was sleepy and we needed to put her to bed.

“Well, congratulations you three, I love you all,” I said.

Then I gave each of them a kiss.

“Me too angel.
