November 10th, 1985
"Hey Hargrove! Watch out man or Imma take your title!" Chris yelled as he coasted on the wave as you, Billy, and Jacob waded in the shallow water. "Pay attention or you're gonna-" Billy responded right before a distant scream was heard against the crash of the waves. "...eat it." You chuckled with the boys as Chris popped up from the settling waters.
Billy kept you held against him as the tide pulled back in, Chris joining you all in the heat of the midday sun. "How's the lil' Hargrove doing?" He asked, keeping one hand on his board so it didn't float away. You hummed, leaning back against Billy's chest and soaking in the sun across your skin. "Good...finally not breaking my spine." You chuckled, kissing the underside of Billy's jaw - his hands running over your belly and tracing the small footprint on your skin.
His blond hair shown gold in the sun as he smiled - blue eyes looking as if they were reflecting the water below you from how clearly they matched. The warm tan on his skin was starting to show once more as droplets of water rolled off his shoulders and pecs, trailing to meet the ocean waves.
"The water does wonders lifting the weight." You added. Your boyfriend kissed your cheek, his aviators tangling in your wet hair as he pulled away. "Ow!"
"I know, I got it. Hold still." He slowly took off his glasses and carefully got your hair out of the metal hooks. "Ouch." You huffed, feeling a pinch on your scalp. "Now you're just being dramatic." Billy chuckled, kissing your head once he freed the glasses - putting them atop his head and swaying you side to side.
"Sooo..." Chris started, tapping his fingers lightly on the small layer of water that washed over-top of his board. "Uh oh, he's thinking...that's never good." Jacob muttered to you with a smirk - a small chuckle coming from you as Chris scrunched his nose and splashed Jacob. "Hey! I have good ideas!"
Billy raised a brow, "Like the time you tried to 'ride' the dinosaur at the museum?"
Jacob wiped his face, "Or when you tried to get Mary Larksfield to kiss you in 6th grade but you licked her face?"
"Or when you put plastic wrap over the toilet to prank your mom but you forgot it was there?"
"Or when you put playdough in gum wrappers and then accidently ate one immediately after?"
"Or when-"
"OKAY! I GET IT....I have bad ideas most of the time." Chris interjected. "What's the idea Chris?" You asked, seeing how his face went from solem to sheer excitement at your question. You knew Jacob and Billy were mentally telling you not to encourage him...but he looked like a little kid in a candy store!
"There is this party tonight and I think we should go!"
Maybe you should have listened...
"You want me to bring my pregnant girlfriend to one of your stupid parties? I wouldn't even go to the damn ones in Hawkins and that town only has like 300 people!" Billy exclaimed. "It isn't one of the really crazy ones...it's at Rita's Bar!"
All three boys seemed to ease a bit at that, you guessed there was some history with that bar in particular - probably one they stole alcohol from regularly since they were underage. They started to talk amongst themselves, your eyes drawing to Billy who seemed the most conflicted.
Not wanting to ruin their fun you spoke, "You three can go. I'll be okay on my own for a bit." Your boyfriend looked at you like you just spoke an ancient language. "I'm sorry. You want me to leave my heavily pregnant girlfriend alone in an area she doesn't know, with people around her she doesn't know, in a city she doesn't know? Not a chance babe."
