“Likely…”

I shrugged. “It is what it is. I just have to roll with it.”

“We don’t know that. There’s still a chance.”

“A slight chance.”

“Still a chance.”

Silence fell over us for a few moments. “I need to call Mom and ask her if anyone on her side of the family has colon cancer, though.” I frowned. I didn’t want to call my mother and let her know that I still might be sick. It would damper her plan of being a grandmothereven though that was totally jumping the gun.I didn’t even want to tell her I was getting married.

“Great. Let’s get it over with because I need a nap.”

“And I need to head home after I shower. Dinner with the Crawford’s.” I smiled. They were my family now.

“I’m going to need to visit again so I can meet them.”

“And see Nicole.”

Bailee sighed. “All this bad news is making me depressed; Nicole losing her baby and you might have cancer. I can’t handle it. Scratch the nap, I need to drink again.”

I chuckled trying to lighten the mood. “You’re feeling better now because of bacon.” I looked down at my phone to find our mom’s number.

“Kinda. But really, this is all stressing me out. I need to find a weed dealer.”

My eyes cut to her and I glared.

“Relax. Shit, I should get you some too. You know, in case.”

“Let’s not think about that until we talk to Mom.”

She waved her hand in the direction of my cell. “Call her.”

I groaned as I grabbed the phone, pressed the phone icon next to my mom’s number in my contacts, and then put it on speaker phone so we could both talk to her. The phone rang and rang and rang until it connected to her voicemail.

Figured.
