  15. Bear...you have a predilection for doing this as you have AMPLY shown us! Ellie...I think Bear is rubbing off his Bear-ness onto YOU. MK, you need a texting phone. BC, you do NOT need a texting phone. Ellie...I think you can be trusted with one. At least you can say a Cat 911 for lap emergency! Momma Kat...what's up with the teaser?

    1. Oops. My bad. I didn't think anyone would believe I was pregnant. I forget that we don't see each other frequently. Even so, The Boy asked me if I am pregnant so I might've massively misjudged that one.
