Chapter 72: MANCINI

My only fear of having Catalina witness the actual birth was my worry that seeing her aunt in pain might scare her, scientifically, medically, I have no problem. With the way the kid's mind works she'd probably look at the whole thing aesthetically, so whereas I wouldn't want someone else watching my wife go through this, I didn't mind her. That's why I'd given Cierra the option since the first time the kid pestered me about it. "I don't mind if she stays as long as you check with her parents." The whole time we were talking I was trying to find her. Before I could I heard Lyon calling to me from just outside the door. "Be right back."
