"Relax," Debra said, grabbing Marion's hand. "We've got a plane to catch."
Erica burst in. "What's the holdup? The car has been waiting forever."
Beside her, their golden retriever wagged its tail and bolted toward them.
Ori was two years old now. He was big and healthy.
Debra patted his head. "We're taking you on vacation soon, buddy. Excited?"
Ori barked, thrilled.
Randy rushed to Erica. "You're a mom now. Slow down. Why did you come alone? What if you tripped?"
Erica, six months pregnant, rocked short hair and a big belly. "Ori has got my back. Anyone gets close, he's on it."
"Good job, Ori," Randy grinned.
Ori was sharp, fed by him and Erica when Debra was swamped. Now he keenly guarded the baby bump.
"Make this trip count," Randy whispered to Marion. "We've lapped you guys. Step it up."
He and Erica got married two years ago. Now a kid was on the way. Randy hovered, paranoid about bumps.
She glanced at him. He looked like he had more to say but held back.
"I'm chill either way," she said. "If you're freaked out, I'm good without. You and Ori are enough."
Marion went quiet.
The two years of protection showed his worries that their kid might inherit his emotional glitches.
She wouldn't push. Life like this was good enough.
On the plane, she dozed off fast.
