I wake up to Hailey sitting on my bed. I jump up and look around.
"How did you get in?" I ask.
"Sam gave me his keys to the house to give to you. So I took them and though we could have a day to ourselves. We're going to yoga then going shopping. I also have an appointment for wedding dresses and bridesmaid. I need to get that sorted out. Its in three weeks. I am like the most un-organised bride."
"Yoga?" I ask falling back into bed.
"It's fun. And the instructor is so hot. It's exactly what you need."
"Fine. I'll come. Only because of the shopping I need something to wear the funeral tomorrow and I have to be at the studio at 4."
"Ok. Get ready" she says standing up and walking out. I stand up and look in my full-size mirror and see my bump had gotten smaller. They had said until I get my period my body was still producing a pregnancy hormone. After I get my period it would be over. No more people coming up and say you look beautiful or you have that pregnancy glow. No more reminders I lost my baby.

I walk into the studio and see the sexy instructor at the front. "Ok. I get why you brought me here. He is hot" I say and roll out my yoga matt. She laughs and we sit on the mat. An older lady sits next to me.
"How are months pregnant are you? You look like your in the first third. Can I feel?" she says. I feel so insulted. I look down and you can still see the bump through my top. I look up and see her curious face.
"I'm not pregnant" I say and continue to look at her. She looks confused and questions me.
"Are you sure? That is definitely a baby bump. You must be early."
"No. I'm not pregnant. I lost my baby" I say and look at the instructor who was about to start.
"Oh. I am so sorry for you loss" she says I look at her.
"It's ok" I say and then look at my feet.
"I am so, so sorry" she says.
"I know. You don't need to apologize."

We walk into the dress shop and I head straight to a black lace romper.
"Well that's my funeral dress shop complete" I say and grab my size. "We should go" I say and walk over to the register. I pull my card out and give it to the lay behind the desk.
"What's going on?" Hailey asks. I grab my bag and look at her.
"Everyone keeps saying 'Oh how many months are you, you must me so happy' or 'you have the pregnancy glow everyone talks about'. I am sick of it, its a constant reminder I lost my baby. I just want to move on. I want to move on with my life, its bad enough I cheated on my fiancée and I still have the baby bump."
"I'm so sorry Jordan. I didn't know. But the wedding dresses will cheer you up I promise" Hailey says smiling. I fake smile and we walk to the shop.
She tries on her dress and I smile at how beautiful in it."You look great Hailey" I smiling in. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She touches my dress.
"I know right" she says laugh. "All you guys try on your dresses" she says as the lady brings out a sack of blue strapless dresses. I grab my dress and my phone vibrates. I pick it up and there are two messages- an email saying my dance team have got into regional and a missed called from a number that looked like Harry's. I smile at the email.
"We got in. We're dancing at regionals" I say. Hailey smiles.
"Congrats. You deserve it" she says steps of the step. She comes over and hugs me. I hug her then show her the other message. "Oh. I'm sorry" she says and holds my hands.
"I better try this dress on" I say walking into the dressing room. The others were already dressed so I walk in and try on my dress. I fall instantly in love and come out smiling.
"You look beautiful in that dress" Hailey says smiling as well. I look down and we all do a twirl.
"You all look beautiful. No upstaging me at my wedding" she says joking around. I smile and look at her "Jordan will you do two things for me?"
"Yep, sure anything" I say confused.
"Will you host my bachelorette party and sing at my wedding" she asks. I nod and smile.
"But not the singing. I can't sing that well" I say.
"Yes. You can I've heard you sing" another girl says.
"Fine" I say and roll my eyes. I smile and walk back in to get changed.
----
I walk into the studio and see all the dancers dancing around with the music blaring. I wait outside for a minute. I smile and finally walk in. They all see me and smile. They stop dancing.
"We're going to Regionals" I yell over the music.
"Are you serious?" Quinn asks stepping forward.
"Yep. We have four weeks to come up with a routine that is amazing and great. I have an idea and the song picked out. The song we are doing is Opps I did it again. And since there are an almost even amount of girls and boys we can make this work sort of."
"I don't think I can do it. The baby" Quinn says raising her hand.
"I want you in the routine Quinn. There is not going to be many flips or lifts. I want to build a dance that tells a story. A sort of revenge tale. I want all the guys dancing and flirting with the girls. They find out they make you feel special but they do it for other reason so the girls get revenge and flirt with all the guys make them think they are in love with them and everything. I know its going to be a hard story to tell but I have faith in us. So lets start brain storming ideas." I say and clap and walking into the group
