It had been over 6 weeks since Grace was born, and the time for Betsey's checkup was at hand. Chrystal came over to watch the girl, since I had to go to work. According to the doctor, everything was fine, which is what we expected.
We received word that day that Betsey's folks were both feeling a bit under the weather. Having just been up there with Grace, they wanted us to know. It immediately explained Betsey's muscle aches which she'd been having for about a day. Grace and I seemed entirely unaffected. We sent word to the Dausman's that we may have infected their household. We felt like awful friends, but there was really no reason to think we'd be sick when we went to visit.
When I came home, Chrystal swung around again to just socialize instead of being used. It was nice to sit and catch up a bit. It was also nice that she didn't seem to mind the threat of getting sick, such is the power of the draw of spending time with her niece.
