Malachi was sitting on a rolling stool on the other side of the bed holding her hand and vibrating with excitement.

Nedra and Analise were over the moon for her. Her mother, now in Phoenix with Maris, was admitting she was now torn between being close to her youngest daughter in Phoenix and her eldest daughter who was going to give her a grandchild. Maris was excited as well, but very much wrapped up in all the craziness of the paparazzi following the show and the fallout from her father’s trial for murder.
