Mort stood at the door for a moment. He had closed it, and now his back was
resting against it. Why in the hell
would she come here? How did she find
me? What does she want? His mind spit out endless questions until
Karen, much to Mort�s relief, interrupted them.

�Was she a
fan, Mort?� she asked, already knowing the answer.

He shook
his head. �No, it was Amy. She�she needs to talk about something, I
guess.� He happened to glance at his
watch. �I need to wake Alex.� He rushed upstairs without another
word. Even before he opened the door,
he knew that she was still sleeping. He
also knew she�d want to thank their guests, so he gently woke her. He sat on the edge of the bed and ran his
fingers through her hair. �Time to wake
up, baby.�

Alex
stirred and opened her eyes. �Hey,� she
said, her voice groggy. Mort smiled at
her, but instef ref returning it, she frowned a bit.

�What�s the
matter, Alex?�

�Gotta
pee.�

Mort shook
his head and chuckled. Everyone knows
how often a pregnant woman visits the bathroom. As he had been doing so often, he helped her out of bed and
smiled as she waddled to the bathroom. I
should tell her right away. We don�t
keep secrets.

Alex
emerged from the bathroom, a smile now replacing her frown. �Much better.� She looked at Mort and could tell right away that something was
bothering him. �Something happen down
there? Oh no�did one of the kids eat
too much and throw up?�

Mort shook
his head. �What made your mind pick
that scenario?�

Alex
shrugged. �Lots of kids, lots of food,
lots of running�you should see my classroom some days.�

�Point
taken,� Mort said with a smile. �Alex,
I need you to have a seat, O.K.?�
Thinking that Mort was just being his concerned self, she thought
nothing of his request and sat down.
�Amy was here,� he said bluntly.

�Amy?� At first Alex was a bit confused. Her brain quickly registered the name. �Ex-Amy?� Mort nodded. �Um�why?�

�I don�t
know, baby. She was the person that
called in the middle of the night though � and again this morning. Something�s�something�s not right. She came here without Ted and was
acting�� Mort sighed. �I won�t make something up, she said she misses
me, but I really don�t think that�s what the problem is.�

�Oh,� Alex
said.

�I�m not
comfortable with this either��

�I didn�t
say I was uncomfortable,� Alex interrupted. Mort raised an eyebrow as if saying, �You don�t have to
say it.� Alex frowned. �It�s perfectly normal for me to worry a
little, isn�t it?�

Wrapping an
arm around her shoulders, Mort replied, �Of course it is, but you know you
don�t have to worry about me, don�t you?�

She didn�t
hesitate in answering him. �I
know. But, just so you know, I�m a
woman � a very pregnant woman � so, at times, all rational thinking will
abandon me.� Mort�s reply was to kiss
her as deeply and passionately as he could.
Her face reddened and her breath caught. �I really want to stop being pregnant,� she whined.

Mort got up
and flashed her the most seductive look he could muster. �It�ll be worth the wait.� Alex felt herself blush again. He extended his hand and the two of them
went downstairs.

Alex and
Mort both thanked their guests and said their goodbyes, both avoiding any
questions about �the woman at the door.�
After the house was empty � save for Karen and Steven � Alex finally
asked the question that she�d been holding back. �What did you say to her, Mort?�

He looked
at her, his eyes reflecting the utmost honesty. �That I�d work something out.
That I�d call her.�

Alex
thought a moment, then sighed. �It�s
still early. Just�just call and ask her
to come over.� Karen, Steven, and Mort
looked at Alex like she had three heads - she noticed this and quickly
explained herself. �Well, I�d much
rather have her come here instead of you,� she looked at Mort, �meeting her
somewhere. Jealous, pregnancy hormones,
remember?�

A faint
smile crossed Mort�s lips. �You make
perfect sense, baby, but again, you know you don�t have to worry.�

�But�maybe
she�s realized what a huge mistake she made and�� Alex cut herself off. �It
would make me feel better if she came here � where I can keep an eye on her.�

�O.K., I�ll
call her.� He ran his hand over Alex�s
back. �You�re sure you�re all right
with this?�

Alex
smiled. �I never said I was �all right�
with it, I just found a way to deal with it a little better.�

�Fair
enough.� Mort picked up the phond
nd
dialed. It rang a few times before Amy
picked up.

�Hello?�
Amy said.

�Hello,
Amy. It�s Mort.�

Alex
breathed a very shallow, unnoticeable sigh.
Good, he said �Mort� � not �me.�

�Mort?� Amy couldn�t quite grasp that he had
actually called. �I�I thought you were
going to blow me off.�

�I know
something�s wrong and the sooner it�s taken care of, the better.�

�Thank
you,� she said, her voice endlessly grateful.

�Look, just
come back to the house.�

'> �Your
house?�

Mort rolled
his eyes, making Alex, Karen, and Steven wonder what Amy had just said. �Who else�s, Amy?�

�But�your
family��

�Is going
to be here.�

Amy�s voice
turned into one of disappointment.
�Wouldn�t it be easier on everyone if you just met me��

�No, I�m
not coming to you,� Mort interrupted.
�If you want to talk to me, you�ll come here. It�s your choice.�

Amy
sighed. �All right. I�ll be there in a half hour.�

�Fine. Bye.�
Mort hung up without waiting for a response. Alex noticed right away how edgy a minute or so of conversation
with his ex-wife had made him. Mort saw
the worried look on her face and walked back to where she was sitting. He smiled.
�Now can you tell that you don�t need to worry?�

Alex was
embarrassed over the brief bout of jealousy she had gone through, but she did
her best to shake it off. �Not on the
best of terms, are you?�

Mort shook
his head. �None of it matters,
baby. She�ll tell me what she has to
get out of brain and she�ll be back on her way to Ted.�

God,
Morthopehope you�re right�
