“I wish you could try the frijoles. I tried something different and they turned out really good.” Claire said as she went to grab the tortillas she’d made and wrapped.

“I could but it wouldn’t taste good no matter what, I’m afraid.” Clover replied.

“I know. You prefer cat.” Claire teased.

“A moment of desperation I will never live down!” Clover deflated, but knowing it was all lighthearted.

“Never ever.” Claire laughed. Just as she and Clover started taking things out to the serving table, Ricky, Veronica, and all the aunts came in to help. Tia Nia tutted at Claire and went to snatch the tortillas from her.

“Mija, go sit down. We’ll take everything out and Clover will make you a plate.” She said.

“But I’m fine.” Claire purses her lips.

“Sure, but you and baby are in the way. You take up so much space these days.” Nia teased back.

Claire “gasped”.

“So rude!” She said.

“Clove, make me a plate too!” Amulius called, pulling out a chair for Claire before plopping down himself.

Blossom appeared then, an unopened package of napkins tucked under her arm that she had must’ve been sent downstairs for. She was still on the phone with Violet, chattering back in Khmer while nestling some English in there.

“Clovers busy, Ma, he can’t talk.” She said in English.

“Tell Mom hi!” Claire called to Blossom before plopping into her chair. “Thanks, babe.” She said to Amulius.

“Claire says hi.” Blossom said into the phone.

Clover made two plates, one for Claire as well as one for Amulius. He brought them to the table and sat everything down before pulling up a seat on the other side of Claire.

Claire began picking at her food with one hand while reaching over and grabbing Clover's knee with the other, smiling affectionately at him.

"Thank you, my love." She said to him.

“You’re welcome.” He smiled. “Is it good?” He asked.

"It's always good. Your little jumping bean always loves frijoles." Claire smiled as she took another bite of her food.

All the aunts and cousins eventually got their plates and sat around as well. Ricky had found a corner for him and Blossom, though there were no chairs left and he tried to wrestle her into his lap so they could sit in an affectionate manner.

After everyone had at least gotten a few bites of food, Veronica stood up from her perch and went over to Claire and Clover.

"Mira, mira, everyone. Over here." She called for attention, which was quickly given. "We all know the drill. Get a few good mouthfuls in and then get your cards and candles, we have predictions to make. Nia, put your plate down, it'll be there when you're done." Veronica scolded her younger sister across the room.

“Do we move or stay here?” Clover whispered to Claire, this being his first time.

"Oh, we stay." Claire said, wiggling to get comfortable as a wave of aunts and primas all converged on the couple like tidal waves with various items clutched in their hands.

Some of the women reached to touch Claire, some just wanted to fondle at her stomach. Others reached to grab Clover's hands while reaching for Claire as well. During or after every bit of contact, they'd confer with their devices, whether that be cards, crystal, chicken bones, bits of string, etc.

"It's a girl!" One called.

"She'll have her papa's white hair streak!" Another announced.

"Ay no, she's going to be sharp mouthed like Claire." Nia sighed after she looked into a mug with tea leaves.

They all babbled one over the other, sharing predictions, changing things, touching the couple more, all the while Claire simply ate and listened, still keeping her hand on Clover's knee.

Clover smiled and nodded along excitedly, eager to hear more.

All the aunts babbled away, saying things about Claire and Clover's little girl, some things good and somethings not quite so good (mostly that she'd be exactly like her mother). After the crazed babbling, Veronica stepped forward with a deck of playing cards.

"We're missing something. Something isn't right." She said. She whispered something to the cards and then offered the deck to Claire, who took it with one hand while holding her plate in the other. "Clover, touch the deck." She said.
