108 Step-Mom?

After collecting the cake and the balloons, the last stop was to buy Julie a gift.

Lina roamed the store in search of something amazing while Sandra followed her around like a puppy.

"What do you think of this?" Sandra asked holding up a make up pallette.

"It's a bit grown up. I want something useful but also fun."

They wandered into a technology store and Lina found the perfect gift.

A pink laptop and headphones; she could tell Will that it was for studying and it would also keep Julie busy and pacify her boredom.

The store assistant gift wrapped the box and Lina left the store feeling accomplished.

"You're a great step-mom," Sandra said as the made their way to the car.

"Step-mom?" Lina choked on the word.

She had never considered that if she married Will she would become a step-mom. The word sounded so negative and like some old witchy woman.

Lina laughed nervously, "Uh.. Will and I aren't married yet."
