gave her a sympathetic look, but Arabella smiled quickly to reassure her
that she was okay.
Arabella was as stubborn as June had been when she was pregnant with
the twins. She’d refused to stop working until right near the end of the
pregnancy. Anyone might think that their relationship was a little strange,
but it didn’t matter to them. They knew they wanted a big family and that

June took the cake and laughed. “That’s exactly right.”

designs and better able to put together the best technology they could into
making shoes that would fit newborns all the way up to adult sizes. They

She didn’t want to be late to pick up the twins from daycare. Again. She’d
already been late quite a few times that month, but thankfully, Annie gave
her a break since she knew that being pregnant with a second set of twins,
