Mom wasn't having that, "Lilah. Pregnancy is scary, and you're housing an extradimensional supergod! Or something! Who knows what that will change about the pregnancy."
Lilah waved a hand. "It'll be fine. I need to ask my, uh, big sister. She'll tell me. We've never directly talked, so I have a lot of questions anyway."
"Is that what we're calling it? Your big sister?"
"She likes Big Lils, too," I added with a thumbs up.
"You two, I swear. Lilah, promise me something."
"Yes, mom?"
"Take care of your brother. You gave him everything he wanted, and you'll break him if you take it away." Mom looked like she wanted to cry. The urge to cry made complete sense, but I was surprised it was this point that made her so emotional. I hugged her.
"He's not the only one that's in love, mom."
She
