"How do I look?"
"You look beautiful sweetie."
"Thank you. Can you take some pictures of me? I want to show my mom and auntie."
"Yeah. Of course." She grabbed her phone. "Pose and smile." She took picture after picture. "Hurry up." Yvonne knocked on the door. "Give us a second." I look in the mirror. "Do you think something is missing?"
"I need a bracelet."
"Let's see what I have."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~
"Oh my God, you guys look so cute. Let me take a couple of pictures before your friends get here. Hold hands and smile. Okay good. Now Peaches, stand in front of her, Von put your arms around her. Like this." She moved us. "Mom..."
"Smile. Okay you guys look cute. Two more. Just two. Hm. Okay. You guys stand in front of each other. Put your hands on her back Von. Move closer."
"What do I do with my arms?"
"Put them... around her neck. Then you guys kiss."
"Then we're done?"
"Maybe." I look up and she kissed me. She rubbed down. "Yvonne wait. I didn't take the picture yet."
"My bad ma." She put her hands back. "Okay. Then one more. I just want you guys to hug but Peaches look at the camera and Von act like you're kissing her forehead."
"Ugh." We heard a honk. "Finally."
"Tell your friends to come in so I can get a group picture.'
"Are you serious?'
"Yeah." She went outside. "Are you excited?"
"Yeah I guess. I know it'll be fun."
"It definitely will." They came in. "Hey Peaches. You look good."
"Thank you."
"You guys pose so I can get just two pictures of you guys. Peaches in the middle and Von behind her holding on to her and you guys have your arms around Von and smile." We did exactly what she said. "One more. You guys make silly faces then you can go."
"God mom..."
"1..2..3 okay awesome, go, you guys have fun."
"Bye Miss."
"Bye guys. You guys be careful with Peaches."
"We will mom." We get in the car. "You look amazing Peaches."
"Thanks Terrell."
"No problem."
"You're the only one who hasn't said it yet."
"Said what? That you look fucking sexy?"
"That I look beautiful."
"You look fuckable. And sexy." I smile. We made out. "Guys don't start anything, we haven't left the street yet."
"Mm. Shut up."
~~~~~~~~
We went inside. "It's gorgeous."
"Just like you tonight baby." I smile. "You want something to eat?"
"Not yet, let's just dance."
"Alright."

Peaches was having so much fun but I felt like I couldn't have as much fun. I was worried about the baby all night, what if it's too loud for them? Or what if someone pushes her down and hurt her?
"Dude. You okay?"
"Where's peaches?"
"I think I saw her by the food."
"Go get Derrick. We're leaving."
"We just got here."
"We're leaving. It's not safe for Peaches." I go to the food and see her. "Hey, you want some shrimp?"
"We're leaving."
"Why?"
"It's not safe for you and the baby."
"I'm fine Von."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, if I don't feel good, I'll tell you." Someone bumped into her. "Babe..."
"I'm fine. I would know. "
"So are we leaving?"
"No. You guys go back to whatever you were doing."
"Alright."
"Let's sit down and eat." We sat on the bleachers. "I'm glad you're worried about the baby but I think I would know if something was wrong and I'll let you know, I promise."
"Okay baby. I just want you safe."
"I know."
~~~~~~~~
"So we going to your auntie house tomorrow morning?"
"Yeah, she won't be there. So you guys can smoke but only outside."
"Okay that's cool. So what are we gonna do?"
"I planned to spend time with my girl."
"We wanna do something else then to listen to you fuck." I laughed. "You guys should get girlfriends."
"No. Not to be rude but when we got close, we decided no girlfriends."
"But you decided to bring a girl in our group, how could I not fall in love?"
"By restraining yourself."
"It doesn't matter. We're all happy."
"Yeah and it's not a secret that you guys loved me as soon as we met."
"No we definitely did."
"I love you guys."
"We love you too." Yvonne pulled my hand up and kissed it.
~~~~~~~~~
"God when the hell did sex become exhausting?" I laugh. "You're overreacting."
"I'm serious."
"Well probably because all you do is smoke and eat and smoke and eat and smoke and-."
"Alright I get it, I don't do shit."
"But smoke and eat." She gave me a warning look. "I swear you better be glad I love you." I giggle. She laid on my chest. "Hopefully this doesn't hurt you."
"It doesn't. We gotta get in the shower.."
"Why?"
"We have to leave in the morning and I'm tired so we need to do it now."
"Alright."
