Chapter 64 Visitor (One)

• Toby, Becca’s younger brother arrived at her house in the evening the following day. He took one look at her and whooped in equal parts of surprise and excitement, staring at her large, round stomach with wide eyes as he got out of the taxi to meet her where she was standing in her driveway to welcome him.
• “What? You’ve never seen a pregnant woman before? Are you not going to grab your luggage, or do you want the taxi driver to have it as a Christmas present?” Becca asked him playfully, although she couldn’t exactly say that she blamed him for his surprise. After all, she saw herself in the mirror every day and was only getting used to the big, tired-looking woman that she saw every day. It was all going to be so worth it in the end, though.
• “Ah, right!” Toby said and went back to pick up his small luggage, before coming back to hug her gently, taking care to avoid her stomach. Becca rolled her eyes and hugged him back tightly. She had missed him so much, and the last time that she had seen him was months back when she went to stay with him for a while because she was feeling very down. Those days when she had been emotionally downcast were so far behind, that it was weird to think of herself that way now. She had Dan and Sandra to cheer her up now, but Sandra was leaving soon. The thought of that made her sad, so she put it away from her mind.
