Chapter 8 – The Second Worst Time to Give BirthDorian pondered the menu, but he was really trying to think of something evil to do. Eating at the restaurant when there was a refrigerator full of perfectly good, free, food was bad, but it hardly qualified as evil. He could lock someone in a room and starve them to death, but that would require the Watcher’s cooperation.
An idea came to him. “I wonder how Kylee is doing?” he mused.
A little while later… “I can’t believe Gustav has moved on already! And to Bella Bachelor, of all people. Why, she’s ancient. Ouch, I’ve got a crick in my neck just thinking about it.”
“Let me take care of that,” Dorian offered.
And one thing led to another.
Meanwhile, Bella demonstrates why you shouldn’t tell a pregnant woman that she looks like she’s carrying a basketball.
Gustav and Bella decided to decorate the nursery in their favorite colors, pink and red. They added Bebe’s painting of a kitten and an old friend.
Sheep: (I want to go live in that house. Why won’t they let me into the house?)
Finally the day came when Gustav’s divorce from Kylee was made official. As soon as he got the news, he dropped to one knee. “Bella, will you do me the honor of –“
“Yes!” she screamed.
And kept on screaming.
They decided to name her Jocasta, after Bella’s mother. Little Jo is absent- minded and good.
Gustav always knew that his preference for pink wasn’t insane.
He had promised Bella that they could go to France for their honeymoon.
What he didn’t tell Bella was that he would be spending most of the time underground.
She ate her lunch in a French café where the waitress told her she looked just like Audrey Hepburn in
Roman Holiday except that her hair wasn’t short and she wasn’t in black and white.
The reference to the movie gave Bella an idea. She found a place where she could rent a moped...
It wasn’t a bed-and-breakfast, but the place had its own ambience.
The next morning Gustav found what he was looking for.
They returned home in time to celebrate Bella’s birthday.
Justice said that he and Bebe had enjoyed playing baby-sitter.
The next morning Dorian found some interesting news in the paper:
“
Kylee Cottoneye gave birth to a boy, Aaron.”
