All of Me

Liz's pov

I brought my soaked hands to my eyes, hearing everyone shout as I wiped my face.

I had no idea what was going on, besides the fact that the boys had just dumped a slime-like substance on Colby and I.

I opened my eyes, looking over at Colby to see the side of his face and shirt covered in pink stuff.

"Surprise!" Kat shouted as I looked over at her, still not understanding what was going on.

"Oh my god," I gasped as it sank in, staring at Colby with my mouth hanging open.

It took a second for me to fully process what was happening, and as soon as it did I jumped into Colby's embrace, and he swayed me around excitedly.

"We're having a girl!" I shouted in his ear as he plopped me down suddenly.

"Huh?" I asked in surprise as Jake took off in a run, chasing Colby with a half full bucket of the pink stuff.

They ran around the driveway, and I realized that Colby was coming towards me, with Jake catching up to him.

"Oh no!" I shouted as Colby scooped me up, turning to face Jake as he dumped the stuff on us.

"Jake, what the fuck?" I shouted as I had to rewipe my face.  I couldn't stay serious, however, and busted out in a giggle fit.

As soon as I got my eyes open, Colby's pink coated lips slammed into mine.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have let him even come close to me if he was covered almost head to toe in a suspicious liquid.

But I was so happy that I didn't even care.

"Now that we know it's a girl," Elton announced, catching our attention as he recorded us on his camera, "We should bring back the prank wars,"

Colby let me slide out of his arms and back on the ground as I shot Elton a rude glance, "That's not what we should be worried about right now,"

"But," Elton squeaked, his grin getting bigger as more people tuned into the conversation, "How else are we supposed to get views?"

"If you think I care about views for your stupid channel, then you're out of your mind," I said as Kat intervened before anything could escalate.

"Okay everyone!" She clapped, "Let's go back into the backyard and party!"

Before I could head inside, Kat gently grabbed my soaked arm, stopping me from going anywhere.

"Don't let him get under your skin," She murmured in my ear.

"He pisses me off," I said quietly, glaring over at him as he interviewed Sam and Colby.

"I know," Kat said sympathetically, "I'm not a big fan of him either. Just try to ignore him as best as you can,"

I nodded, our conversation dropping as Devyn and Cassie came up to us.

"It's a girl!" Cassie squealed, "I'm so happy for you,"

"Thanks, Cass," I grinned as Devyn rubbed my belly.

"I made some shirley temples for us," Devyn said, "Since you can't drink,"

"Is that why you wouldn't let me make one the other day?" I asked, referring to when I was craving a shirley temple and Devyn kept giving me anything but that.

My cravings were getting more intense as my pregnancy went on.

It was nothing too crazy, besides the barbeque sauce and oreos or cheetos and sour cream.

"Sorry," Devyn grinned, "But we have some now. They're inside, and only for us girls,"

Kat took my hand, letting Devyn lead all of us to the kitchen where the drinks were.

Everyone else was outside, most of them already in the backyard.  Someone put music on, and it was gently humming through the walls.

"Here," Devyn said, pulling red solo cups out of the fridge, filled with ice and a colored straw in each one.

I quickly grabbed one, bringing the straw to my mouth and taking a sip.

It was refreshing, bubbly and cherry flavored.

"This is so fucking good," I groaned as the back door opened, revealing my favorite partying duo.

"Where's my baby at?" Zane asked, poking his head into the house.

"She's around here somewhere, open your eyes and look," Heath said before looking at me. "There she is!"

"Oh my god Liz you look so good," Zane gasped, coming towards me with his arms outstretched.

"I'm covered in slime shit," I warned as he pulled me into a tight hug.

"I don't care," He huffed as Heath started talking.

"See, I told him she was in here but you just didn't want to listen to me," Heath sassed, "I'm sweating my balls off outside. It feels so good in here,"

"You also have extra layers," Zane said before grabbing my drink, "What's this, code red?"

"No, it's a shirley temple," I said as he took a sip.

"Oo that tastes so fucking good," Zane said as Heath poked his head over his shoulder.

"Does it have alcohol in it?" Heath asked, looking at me.

"She's pregnant, she can't drink you fucking moron," Zane snapped at him before looking at me and speaking in a softer tone, "But does it have alcohol in it? Be honest,"

"There's not alcohol," Devyn informed, "But I'm sure you can add some,"

"Oh hell yeah," Heath said, grabbing one of the unused cups and taking it over to the alcohol rack we had next to the fridge.

The front door opened, and all of the roommates came down the hallway, Brennen and Elton included.

"I see you found the good stuff," Elton said, filming Heath as he poured vodka into the shirley temple.

"I gotta spice shit up," He said before taking a sip of his drink, "It tastes even better now,"

"What is that?" Corey asked, coming over and taking a peek at Devyn's drink, "Is that the thing you were making this morning?"

"Yeah. It's really good," She nodded as Brennen came over to me.

I'm positive I have never had a good interaction with him, so when he gave me a hug I didn't know how to respond.

"Congratulations," Brennen said before patting my belly gently, "I can't wait to meet this little bugger,"

"Yeah," I said, knowing that Colby was essentially useless when it came to how I felt about Brennen.

I felt like I was in my own little boat, in the middle of the ocean.

It was lonely.
