Charlie is back, and she and Sofia have a bun in the oven. (Yes, be warned, there is pregnancy in this story.) Charlie and Jean’s past also comes back to haunt them in a big way. Hopefully Hearthway Hollow will be able to protect them.
My hands are shaking as I look over the stupid little white stick in my hands. I was laughing when I bought the damn thing. I should have known better, I mean, I wouldn’t have bought it if there wasn’t some considerable level of concern.
There’s a knock on the door. “Baby? Are you ok? You’ve been in there for a while.” Sofia’s voice is so sweet. She has no idea what trouble she has gotten me into.
“I’m fine,” my voice cracks and betrays me.
“Baby,” Sofia insists.
I take a deep breath and let it out very slowly. I open the door to Sofia who is staring up at me with wide, sympathetic eyes. I thrust the pregnancy test at her and frown. She takes it, her big brown eyes going wide and sparkling with awe. She gasps, covering her mouth as tears start to come to her eyes.

I wish this place was real. I’d move there in a heart beat!
Great story as always. So cute to see Billy getting all sweet over the baby too. HOORAY FOR CHARLIE AND SOFIA!!!
