In that case, our little girl's gonna get her heart trampled in the stampede!" "If Langston takes after Everett, and he's got eyes only for our girl, then we won't have to worry about any other girls getting a look in!" Karen rolled her eyes, "Look at Everett, when has he ever given Dorothy a moment's worry over such matters? What you should be fretting over is if our daughter ends up in your nature, becoming a real heartbreaker and letting Langston down." Jeffrey had no clue how the conversation had veered from deciding on their daughter's nto this. And he was getting a backhanded compliment for his trouble out of the blue.

And to think, he hadn't even started on Karen coming into his life so late. Had they met earlier, he could have been just loyal to a fault like Everett.
"We've only been together a short while, so maybe you're just still in the honeymoon phase." Before Jeffrey could retort, Karen just cut him off, "Don't bother swearing your fidelity now. We'll see. I don't buy into men's sweet nothings, and if things go south, I won't cling or blyou." That was her stance on love: if it's meant to be, it'll stay; no use crying over spilled milk.
Jeffrey blinked, and then his handsface scrunched up.
"Sweetheart, can we drop this topic? Let's get back to the ndiscussion." He said.

"Your brother Langston is such a heartthrob! Just you wait till you're old enough, you'll be hanging out with the cool kids too." Jeffrey pouted, "Praising Langston's looks is just a roundabout way of complimenting Everett. You think he's more handsthan me?" Karen shot him a look that said, 'Obviously.' And he was literally left speechless.
When Karen was discharged from the hospital, Dorothy cwith Abigail and Langston.
The two tykes were thrilled to bits at the sight of someone younger than themselves, crowding around to get a good look.
Watching them, Karen nudged 176 Dorothy, Looks like they're fond little ones, Dorothy! So are you and Everett thinking about adding another to the crew?" S Dorothy blushed, her cheeks turning a delicate pink.
"Uh, Everett's keen, and I'm all for it." "So, when's the big plan?" Karen said, then quickly added, "Not right now of course. You'll need Quincy to you the all-clear first." S give Dorothy's eyes widened at the mention of Quincy, "You know about that?" Realizing her slip, Karen quickly squinted and smiled, "Uh... Jeffrey let it slip!" Dorothy immediately asked, "Did Jeffrey say anything else? Like, is there any beef between Dr. Quincy and Everett?" "He didn't say! Nothing else cup!" Karen remembered Jeffrey's words- Everett would never hurt Dorothy, and if he said to keep it elunder wraps, there was a good reason. It was something that wouldn't sit well with Dorothy if she knew. "Okay. Truth be told, I've been feeling like Everett's been acting all kinds of strange lately." Dorothy said.
