It's after dinner and Jenny is back in bed, but she's not buried under a mound of blankets and she's actually awake, sitting up.  She's got Alex's baby name book on the bed in front of her, her legs folded, and she flips though the pages slowly.  Alex is elsewhere in the house, possibly going over stuff for the pool he wants to have put in.  Jen

Heather almost lets the phone call go to voice mail. She's curled up with Leroy and he's reading aloud from some hopelessly romantic classic civil war story, but when she sees it's Jenny they both silently agree it's best that she answer. He kisses her hand and gets up, leaving her curled up on the couch with the blankets. He disappears up the stairs, presumably to check on the boys and she's never been so grateful for him. It's little moments like this that have always separated him from Charles. She quickly grabs her phone and answers it. "Hi, Sis."

"Hi," she says as she leans back so she can straighten out her legs. She didn't realize she'd had her legs tucked up for as long as she had until her knees started screaming. "How are you?"

"Good, actually." She tucks the blanket around her feet better. "What about you?"

"All things considered, not too bad, I guess," she says.
