Chapter 29

Meanwhile, Alexis's mom returned home. Yvonne trailed behind Alexis as they approached her mother. 

Alexis mom scrutinized Yvonne from head to toe before her gaze settled on the pregnancy. 

"Who is she?" she inquired with a raised eyebrow. 

"Dad, did not tell you?" Alexis responded. "She'll be staying with us."

"Staying with us with her pregnancy?" her mom exclaimed, pointing to Yvonne's belly.

"Yeah," Alexis affirmed.

"Are you kidding me?" Alexis mother burst into laughter.

She finally got herself together and turned her attention to Yvonne. "Whose pregnancy is it?" 

"What?" Yvonne stammered.

"I mean, is it my husband's child?"

Alexis sighed and rolled her eyes. 

"Mom, I think you're exhausted from the night shift, and maybe you're a bit muddled," Alexis said, gently holding her mom's arm. "Let me take you to your room."
