The M Word
“It was potluck, but since there were so many guests, all Brenda had to bring was green bean casserole and a relish tray. Everyone was accustomed to Marius now, so there was no awkwardness. And since he’d watched a few episodes of Star Trek, he even joined some of those discussions as well.
Her sister Joan, who knew they were trying to get pregnant, glanced at her stomach. “No baby, yet,” Brenda said, and smiled to let her know she was okay with that. She didn’t mention that she was beginning to... wonder if she and Marius were infertile. She’d started reading articles about it on the internet.
