Vanessa's Baby

Tears of Joy

Two months later...

We were all sitting around the bridal boutique watching both Kate and mom model dresses. "Are you guys ready?" Kate yelled from the changing stall.

"Yeah! Let's see it"

"Okay, wait, hold on Vanessa isn't ready"

Cecily rolled her eyes and leaned farther into the comfy white couch. "Okay we're ready!" Kate walked out first with her swollen belly barely visible.

Aidy gasped in awe and ran to wrap them in a hug, we all joined and jumped up and down like children. "I can't believe you guys are doing this, Vanessa I'm so sorry but Aidy and I bet that this would never happen"

"Ha! You owe me ten dollars!" Kate pointed and laughed.

"Okay first of all fuck you, second of all, what the hell?" She threw her arms out and smiled at the three.

"Can I just say, I'm really gonna miss us all staying up every Tuesday night singing and laughing like a bunch of idiots" she started to tear up and so did we.

"Guys?" Mom said through a hiccup.

We all pulled away from our tiny huddle and looked at her "what is it ness?" Kate whimpered.

"Can we get out of here? I'm hungry"

"Really bitch?" Aidy cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes.

We went to a cute little Mexican place a few blocks away from the boutique and ate a light lunch. We all talked about the new baby coming and who all Kate wanted in the delivery room. "I mean I would love to have all of you in there but I'm not sure if that's allowed"

"Sure it is, the whole damn room was full when I was delivering that one" she smiled sweetly and pointed to me from across the small table.

"Well I don't know if you guys know yet but Beck and I talked about it and she's going to be Eva's godmother" she said rubbing her stomach. I put an arm around her and smiled.

"What?! Is that even allowed?!"

"In two years it will legally be...legal"

"What if something happens in that two years?"

"I would like to think we would both last two years but if not, she will be looked after by Aidy until the papers can legally be filled out"

"Jeez Kate, how many times are you going to say legally?" Cecily chuckled wiping her mouth with the cloth napkin.

"Until I legally can't say legally anymore...legally"

We went back to Kate and Beck's place to hang out for a little while. Mom stood up and started walking to the door "I'll be right back, I left something in my car" she walked out and we just continued talking amongst ourselves, about five minutes she came back with a small bag in her hand. "What's with the bag?" Cecily said looking at the bag as if it was a bomb.

"It's just a little gift I got for all of you guys" she handed the bag to Kate and nodded for her to open it. Kate pulled out the tissue paper and covered her mouth out of shock.

"WHAT IS IT KATE?!" Aidy demanded.

Tears started streaming from Kate's eyes as she held up a small SNL onesie and a pregnancy test. "WHAT?! NO WAY!" Aidy yelled again.

"Yeah, I'm pregnant" she bit her bottom lip and smiled.

We all attacked her with hugs and kisses on the cheek. "I'm so glad it stuck this time!" Cecily squealed.

Mom had been trying to get pregnant for the past two months but every time she took a test it was negative "He/she is supposed to be here in May" she flashed a big toothy smile again.

"We're so excited Vanessa, like you don't even know how excited I am for our kids to play together!"

"Holy shit I'm excited!"
