The next morning, Christine was enjoying teasing Reid as he drove her to her yoga class. "What do you mean, you won't be joining me?" she asked. "You do know that your exploits in classes at The Yoga Center are legendary, don't you?"

"Legendary?" Reid questioned.

"Oh yes," Christine assured him. "You are indeed a legend in your own time! Everyone there remembers when you were in their class – Sister Sharon and Sister Cecelia especially enjoy telling their stories."

Reid looked at her doubtfully. "Well, I do remember the 'Dying Bug' " he admitted. "But, isn't yoga designed to increase flexibility?"

"And, last night you definitely demonstrated that you don't need help in that area!" Christine's comment brought a blush to his cheeks.

"As I understand it, this particular class is for expectant mothers," Reid was working hard to talk his way out of participating. "And, I definitely don't qualify as that!"

"Well, if you want to be a spoil-sport," Christine teased as he pulled into the parking lot. "There is a place in the lobby where you can wait. I see you brought some reading material."

"I'm trying to decide what I would like you to record," Reid held up a stack of books. "By the time your class is over, I'll have made up my mind."

When Christine came out of her class, Reid had multiple markers in all the books. "I think I have a good selection of various philosophical views," he told her enthusiastically.

"Spencer, how long is it going to take me to read all that?" Christine asked in amazement.

"Um – m –m – Well, maybe I will have to cut this down a bit," Reid admitted. "But, that is going to be hard."

By the time they arrived at the shopping mall, they had agreed upon several major writings that Christine would record, and Reid had agreed that anything else would be done on a time-available basis.

Upon entering the mall, Christine immediately headed to the department store located directly across from the entrance. When they reached the door, she turned to Reid and explained. "Spencer, I'm going shopping for lingerie, and I don't think you really want to accompany me. Why don't you go to the bookstore and see what you can find for me to record for the twins? We can meet back here afterwards."

Reid blushed slightly at the mention of lingerie, and quickly agreed to her suggestion.

When Christine, carrying several bags, finally emerged from the store, Reid was already sitting waiting for her. She joined him in perching on the edge of the planter.

"What did you decide on?" she asked, indicating the bag he was holding.

Silently, he handed her the bag from the bookstore, taking her bags in trade. Curious, Christine opened the bag and took out two identical books.

"Spencer, this is perfect!" she gasped as she opened the top copy of Dr. Seuss' classic, Oh, The Places You'll Go! "And, you got a copy for each of the twins. That is so cool!"

"Actually," Reid looked shyly at her middle. "I got one copy for David and Diana to share, and one copy for the new set of twins. I remember how much David and Diana enjoyed listening to your voice, and I figured you can start reading to the new twins now so they'll get to know your voice, too."

Christine was trying hard not to cry as she hugged him.

"That's okay?" Reid wasn't sure how to interpret Christine's response.

"What about lunch?" he suggested.

Christine let go and pulled back to smile at him. "Yes, but only if you promise not to monitor each bite I put into my mouth," she agreed.

"Promise!" Reid swore. "And, I have a surprise for you."

"You're going to read to me while we eat?" Christine joked.

"No – You are kidding, right?" Reid needed clarification.

As Christine nodded 'Yes', he continued. "I have been talking with Eleanor DuValle and she really wants to see you. If you feel up to it, that is."

"Eleanor?" Christine echoed. "I know you've been talking to her regularly about the twins. But, I'm not really sure I'm ready to see her again."

"She's arranged for us to use a small meeting room in a family-type restaurant not too far from here," Reid explained. "It will just be the two of us and Eleanor. Please? It would mean a lot to her."

"I think I have been putting off meeting anyone I knew from before for far too long," Christine declared bravely. "Let's do it!"
