It's just a simple line

 "Oh, it was such a cozy wedding," Em said to Chili when she came over after Em texted her. She had leftover Christmas cookies and candy waiting with steaming mugs of coffee. It had turned cold and snowed a little, but it didn't keep Chili away.

"You mean Riley and Tess' wedding?" Chili smiled back as she held her mug of coffee to warm her hands. She took a seat in the livingroom and eyed the candy and cookies a little, but left it alone. 

"It wasn't a bad day for it, windy, of course," Em said the ceremony was in someone's livingroom. They had walked down the stairway and it was great for a photo opp. They'd gotten married the day after Christmas and then went skiing in Colorado. 

"I had no idea those two like the outdoors so much," Em told her. Of course, she changed the subject. When were Chili and Axton going to have a wedding?

Chili didn't know what to say. She finally confessed it probably wouldn't be anytime soon. She shrugged about the matter that maybe it was her, but they both knew Axton was in no hurry.

"Just go ahead and have a baby already," Em was serious. 

Chili shook her head, no. She thought that was the way to lose him. She put down her coffee and decided to go for some homemade fudge. "Besides, if I tried, it probably wouldn't happen anyway." She was straight-lipped trying to decide if it was her or him. 

"Don't say that," Em told her not to give up. 

"Well, do  you think Yuki would ever have a baby?" Chili thought she should turn the tables. See how Em would feel about that.

"Highly unlikely, but I'd never say never," Em said. Rory awoke from her crib and Em went to get her. She put her on the big rug and Rory went to scooting. They watched her hard at work, and soon enough she was crawling her way to the coffee table.

"Look, if you have a baby, it would be someone for Rory to play with. Seriously, I would take care of the baby. We would help you as much as we could." Em said they should get married and have a family.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Chili found herself saying. Sure she and Em were always good friends.

"I think Axton needs to have a real family, too. Not just that weekend, Dad, you know," Em looked sad about it. "Yes, we are a family, but you are his equal and I know you'll  be good for  him and he's good for you."

Chili found comfort in hearing her words, but she knew Axton worried about debt and the cost of having one more child.
