Sean told her about the question Rosie had posed while they were in the parking lot of the grocery. Franci had to lean against the counter, laughing so hard she was doubled over, yet trying to keep quiet lest Rosie come running soaking wet to the kitchen to see who would dare have fun without her. "Yeah, funny," Sean said. "What would you have said?" She wiped her eyes. "Well, I have a special book about all that. It's right about time to look at it together, but I didn't know how to explain you to Rosie, so I've been putting it off. I guess I can go ahead with it now." "A book? Come on!" "No, really. It talks about all the differences in the mommy's and daddy's bodies-it's very cute. Sweet. Non-threatening." She smiled at him. "If you're very good, I'll read it to you later." "If you're very good, I'll show you how it's done." He leered at her. "By the way," he said. "How was it done in this case? We were always very careful. Do you remember?" "Every detail," she said, turning away from him to put away dishes. He turned her back. "Could I have a couple of details, please?" She took a breath. "Remember I used to go off the pill for a couple of months a year and your job was to be very good about the condoms? Well, there were a couple of times you got real worked up and just let it slide." She shrugged. "It was as much my doing as yours. I was also a little worked up." Silence enveloped them for a moment. He leaned forward and kissed her brow. "We were like that," he whispered. "I'm not sorry about that. Big accident. Huge reward. She's awesome." Franci
