When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I watched Rebecca prance off happily before fixing a blank look on Molly. “She’s pregnant?”

Molly nodded. “Two weeks! It would seem like Ms. Moore has finally found someone to live out the rest of her life with.”

I nodded distractedly. Rebecca’s earlier words echoed in my mind: Our children might end up having to call each other siblings.

We climbed into the car and I gazed out the window moodily. After a long moment, I turned to Molly. “Molly, have you known Ms. Larson a very long time?”

Molly paused before replying, “Do you mean Ms. Moore? Well, not really. I used to look after the elderly Mr. Moore. After he passed away, I remained with the Moore family. However, they already have a lot of housekeepers. So when word got out that Mr. Fuller was hiring a housekeeper here in K City, Ms. Moore recommended me to him.”

“Rebecca recommended you?”

The older woman nodded and grinned, saying, “I thought only Mr. Fuller and Ms. Moore knew each other. I had not expected you to know her as well!”

After a few seconds of silence, she continued, “By the way, it’s going to be Ms. Moore’s birthday soon. This will be her first birthday party after being accepted by the Moore family. I heard that Mr. Moore is going to have an official ceremony for her acceptance. It’s definitely going to be a huge event! Mrs. Fuller, you and Mr. Fuller will be going, right?”

I shook my head and answered, “Most likely not. I shouldn’t be running around when I’m so heavily pregnant.”

She nodded. “That’s true. Did you know that you and Ms. Moore have the same birthday though? I think it might be likely that Mr. Fuller won’t go either.”

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about the fact that I had the same birthday as Rebecca.
