Chapter 26: Shopping for the Baby

Alex had never been a fan of shopping, but he knew they needed items for the baby. He wasn't superstitious that they were too early, so they set off after breakfast the next morning.

Alex held his phone when they reached the store. He didn't know what most of this was, but he had a shopping list.

"Not emails. I found a website that lists what you need for a baby."

Her eyebrows shot up. "Oh. Good idea. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. Sometimes I'm spacey these days."

"That is common among pregnant women."

"And you still want to hire me?" Amelia said laughing.

Maybe she gave him something that he hadn't known was missing in his life.
