Monica's POV
"Good morning, gorgeous Monica!" Natalie bounced into the kitchen still wearing her pajamas, radiating excitement. "And how's the most adorable little man in the world doing today?" she cooed, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to my son's forehead.
"I up early, godmother," Austin announced with that special morning enthusiasm only children seem capable of mustering.
"Morning, Natalie. All this exuberance is because Jasper arrives today, isn't it?" I laughed, watching my friend practically float around my kitchen.
"Oh Monica, my darling is finally coming home today and I can barely contain myself!" She pressed her hands dramatically to her heart, batting her eyelashes in an exaggerated fashion that made me smile.
"Let's eat breakfast, get ourselves ready, and head over to prepare his apartment for his homecoming," I suggested, genuinely happy for my friend's excitement.
