Ivy Tanner couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have to work?"
Claire Sinclair smiled and stroked her belly. "I'm just like you. I'm going to be a mom."
"Wow!" Ivy Tanner was stunned, then delighted. "You should have told me sooner! Now I don't feel like I'm going through this all by myself!"
Claire Sinclair was infected by her smile, and her mood brightened. "From now on, we can swap parenting tips."
"Mhm!" Ivy Tanner nodded emphatically.
Claire Sinclair glanced at the time. It was getting late, so she said to Lucas Rhodes, "Mr. Rhodes, I can't keep her out too long. We should be heading back now."
Lucas Rhodes looked at Ivy Tanner and said, "If you don't mind, let me take Iris home. You can stay and have a few drinks with him."
He finished by jutting his chin toward Theo Rhodes.
Claire Sinclair looked at Ivy Tanner, then at Theo Rhodes. After a moment's thought, she nodded. "Alright. Ivy, you go home with him."
