Out of the ring part 4

NICOLE

"That was fun!" I say as we sit and enjoy lunch at the outdoor section of a nice downtown restaurant.

"Yea." He says."Tonight's going to be entertaining."

"You even got you something fun to wear." I say playfully kicking his crotch area. He can't help to smile, before reaching over to kiss me. But I pull apart quicker than normal.

"What was that?"

"I can taste the wine in your mouth, and it's making me crave some. You are being unfair, you should have ordered water."

"I know, I am sorry."

"Well, can I just have a sip?"

"No, no risk. Not a single one."

"But I was already drinking before I knew. And the babies are fine."

"Well, not let's not repeat that. I just want you to be healthy, and the babies too. I don't want anything to happen okay."

"I know." I can't help but get emotional thinking about my miscarriage, but I can cover it up." So I was thinking... Don't get mad."

"What?"

"I want to reach out to your ex."

"Why? She hates you Nicole."

"Hate is a strong word, besides I think time heals all wounds."

"Nicole, she lied and said John got her pregnant. To her it, not a wound, but the knife you stabbed her with is still in her back."

"Well, don't say it like that. But I want to talk to her about my pregnancy, and I also want to mend our friendship. Is that too much to ask?"

"Yes, very much so. Besides just ask your sister, your pregnancy should be similar your twins."

"That doesn't mean anything. Brie never carried twins. But your ex did. Could you just call her for me, I would do it myself. But I don't have her new number."

"I' am not sure, Nicole. I'll think about it, but I honestly don't think it's for the best."
