Parker and his wife Kamora Berg quickly chimed in.
He said, "Mom won't harm us. It's all for our good."
And Kamora added, "An elder in the house is a blessing. She must have her reasons. Just stop being noisy here."
Seeing there was no need to reason with them, I grabbed my son and left.
"You lunatics can eat it yourselves. Don't even think about feeding my son that filth."
As I changed my shoes by the door, I heard Rowan say casually, "Mom, next time, just give us a heads-up about stuff like this."
Then I watched him pick up his knife and take a bite of the meat.
Seriously? How had I not realized before that Rowan was a total mama's boy?
Being reborn wasn't a waste after all. Now, I was going to start thinking about myself and my son's future.
After checking out a new apartment today, I felt good about it. There was a park right downstairs, the air was fresh, and it was perfect for me. I imagined taking the baby for walks there whenever I had free time.
That evening, when I got home, Lauren stood with her arms crossed, huffing and glaring at me.
