Chapter 77


    "Not bad," she says. "I''m not going to graduate in four years, but I''m totally fine with that. I’m 22, so I


    have plenty of time. I just want to make sure that I get some kind of degree. We do have a part-time


    nanny sometimes during the school year, just in case Lincoln doesn''t make it home in time to grab the


    baby when I''m going to ss and to make sure that I have time to work on homework, but otherwise


    we''ve been taking care of Jacky all on our own."


    "Aren''t you exhausted? Babies don''t sleep through the night."


    "Lincoln takes care of night feedings," Cami confesses.


    "Damn, girl!" I whistle. "Must be nice."


    "It is. He is," she says.


    "You picked the right man," I say. "I don''t know how many men who would do that."


    "He''s special," Cami says. "But enough about me. Tell me about your job."


    "I''m taking care of Danny, like I said. And it''s been pretty good. I mean, themute is pretty fast."


    "He lives next door to you," Cami says. "So of course."


    "Right, so, I try to keep Danny quiet during conference calls and stuff, but he''s a big crier."


    "The recipe should help," she says. "And if it doesn''t, there might be more tricks in my bag. You poor


    thing, you didn''t even go through parenting ss."


    "I haven''t," I say, a little dazed. Of course she had more information than I do. I''ve been flying blind. I


    make a mental note to talk to Jeff about any parent


    ing materials he has tucked away.


    Cami''s phone rings. "Hello?" She waits for a minute. "Yeah." Another pause. "Sure, honey. I''ll make


    sure to set the table for a few more." She waits again. "Bye."


    She puts the phone down. "My husband is going to bring 2 people home for dinner."


    "That''s cool. I should go..."


    "No, you can stay. I would love to gossip. I''m just going to make broli quiche so that I don''t have to


    do much."


    "Cool," I say. And I go and lean against the kitchen counter as Cami buzzes around the kitchen.


    "Why don''t you guys have a housekeeper?"


    Cami tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, Lincoln used to have one."


    "And?"


    "And she didn''t approve of our rtionship."


    "I''m sure you could afford to get another one." "We could, but that''s not the point. We will eventually,


    but right now I''m home during the day and I love to cook."


    I raise my eyebrows at Cami.


    "I''ve been learning. Lincoln eats all of my experiments, sometimes more cheerfully than others."


    I smile. "That''s the Cami I know and love."


    She snorts while she whisks some eggs. "It''s been good. And Jacky is my whole world now."


    "Don''t you wish you were just hanging out in your dorm, though?"


    "Kelly is married, too," she says. "And it''s not like I am staring back at what used to be. It''s not what I


    need to build a future with Lincoln and Jacky." She sighs. "And also I''m pregnant again."
