- About the Author
I guess the main family is the Taylors, so Ill start with Bill and May and their kids, the oldest of whom is Rigg. Rigg is a Riggs and not a Taylor because his father died when he was little and May married Bill. You, of course, know who his wife and children are. Marcail waited for Charlie to nod and then moved on.
Next is Jeff Taylor. His wife is Bobbie, and their children are Cleo and Sutton. Bobbies parents are Jake and Maryanne Bradford. Bobbie also has an older sister named Alice. Alice and her husband have twins named Paige and Wesley. Bobbies brother is Troy. Troy is married to Carla, and they have a little boy named Jacob, after his grandpa.
Charlie nodded again, this time with a little more understanding, and Marcail continued.
After Jeff is Gilbert. You met him two Sundays ago. Hes not married and still lives with Bill and May. After Gil comes Nathan. Nathans wife is Brenda and their little guy is Willy.
Who is Joey?
Oh, Joey Parker, Marcail looked almost apologetic. Hes my age. We go to school together. Hes not related to us, but is a good friend of the family. Gretchen talks about him because she thinks hes wonderful.
Is there anyone whos going to be at Taylors on Christmas Day you havent mentioned?
Marcail thought for a moment. Joeys dad, Mr. Parker, will be there. Not everyone will be there for the meal, Charlotte. Some have other family in town, and theyll just come for dessert.
Charlie smiled at her understanding tone. Marcail, has anyone told you lately that youre wonderful?
Marcail only smiled and then looked at the front door as a knock sounded. She made a move to answer it, but Charlie stopped her.
Ill get it, Marc. Ive been sitting too long as it is.
Charlie was a little stiff in her movements as she waddled toward the door, and the person on the other side knocked a second time before she could get there. Charlie swung the door open and even though there was plenty of light, it took her a few moments to respond.
Patrick Donovans face broke into a huge grin as he took in his daughter-in-laws startled face and swollen form.
Well now, he spoke softly. I thought I would be the one doing the surprising, but I can see that the surprise is on me.
Charlie beamed and moved to hug Seans father. The door opened directly into the living room, so it only took a moment for Marcail to see that her father had arrived. Her happy shout brought the household running.
