The more the merrier (2)

"Is there anything more the two of you must share with us?" Beatrice asked. 

She was seated on a chair Annalise was so kind to bring for her to sit on. Beatrice was yet to recover from being told there was another child to be called her grandchild.

Annalise seriously thought over what else was happening in her life and if it was of any importance for Beatrice to know. "Not that I can think of. It was only our coming wedding and child that we had to share. Along with Lydia of course," she said, looking up at Lydia still on River's shoulders. 

"Good. I cannot take any more news at the moment. Had I not travelled here, I would have been in the dark about so many changes. I understand why the two of you need to part as there are matters to be taken care of, but this timing is just wrong,' Beatrice said, disliking that they were preparing to take trips back to their homes.
