New Beginnings

Chapter 42

We arrive at the restaurant and takes our reserved seats. Mines beside Danny and Dylan? What? No. No.No. maybe it's someone else. Yeah. What are you talking about Jessie? No one really knew Dylan enough to invite him. We all start talking while other family is arriving. Don walks in and I stand up an hug him.
"How long has it been Don?"
"Umm 7 years?"
"You need to come see us."
"I will, how's the baby doing?"
"Great!" He leans in and whispers
"Breaking Meryl's nose...... nice touch."
"Well thanks I try." I whisper and walk back to my seat. Everyone has arrived now but Meryl and Dylan. Whoever that is. After 30 minutes all the pregnant women were hungry, so we dug in. I was starving........well until I saw Dylan with Meryl. My Dylan. I wanna hit her. But yet I hope he's happy. He looks at me and gives me a dirty look. Oh hell no. Meryl is standing at the podium with the host. He has his arm around her waist and she throws her head back and laughs. Her nose looks horrible. It's crooked. She walks to the table hand in hand with Dylan.
"Hello everyone." She flips her hair. I'm gonna hit her. Hit. Smack. Make her bleed!!! I smile and stand up.
"Excuse me for a moment." I walk to the bathroom. I pace in the fancy part of the room. I can't think straight. She's staying the same house with me. Dylan with her. Shit! Shit! I calm myself and wash my hands to make it look like I used the restroom. I walk out of the room and sigh. I sit back down at her table beside Danny. Danny puts his hand on my thigh. I cry out, making everyone stare at me. Braxton hicks are getting me.
"It's fine just braxton hicks." I say in a strained voice. Danny rubs my back and I breather through it. Braxton hicks feel like my back and stomach is being stabbed. When I look up Meryl's smirking and kissing all over Dylan. I suddenly am filled with anger but I swallow it. I will not mess up this dinner. But this is gonna be a hell of a night. A long one too. Someone put me into labor anything to get away from this whore.
