Willam skips into Trixie's living room evasively with a bottle in his hand, "Or don't knock?" Manila scowls, but her face softens once she sees the bottle of wine sitting on the counter, "I brought some booze so no. I don't have to knock." Willam sticks his tongue out before pulling the cork open, "You don't wanna wait till everyone else shows up?" Trixie asks once she hears the bottle pop open from her bedroom, and strolls into the living room.

"Hell no this is a kick off before those lushes suck up my good stuff this it's just for the three of us. Whatever's left they can have." Willam chants before pulling out three glasses.

"Bone apple tea." Willam chuckles while handing Trixie her glass. Trixie smiles, and sits it in front of her on the coffee table in hopes that Willam doesn't notice her sudden indifference towards drinking.

After a while the other girls show up all at the same time Adore, Jinkx, Roy, and Raja all flood in with more booze, and weed in their hands. Jinkx instantly pounces next to Raja on the couch in hopes of getting a joint rolled for her, "I guess you can have your own." Raja winks at the fiending Jinkx. Once she hands Jinkx her joint she hops across the room, and snuggles next to Adore as they both decide to light it. 

"So what was the announcement?" Jinkx chimes as Trixie sits down next to Manila. Manila strokes the top of Trixie's hand for nonverbal encouragement.

They all look at Trixie with hazy, and wide eyes, "I'm having a baby."

Adore drops her Joint on the floor with an open mouth. Not because of the fact Trixie's pregnant, but because of the fact Manila knew before she did.  

Everyone in the room runs up to congratulate, and hug Trixie one at a time. Trixie looks across the room at the still shocked Adore, "Babe are you ok?" Jinkx asks as she rubs her leg, "I- just- I need to be alone." Adore admits before exiting the room silently attempting to not create a scene.


Adore walks down the street with her hands in her pocket, and pulls out a pack of cigarettes deciding to light one, continuing to walk as her buzz slowly wears off while the negative thoughts begin to race through her mind.

Are they drifting apart? Are her and Manila closer than they are? Why did she tell Manila before her? Adore feels the contempt slowly take over her mind and heart, "What the fuck?" She asks herself before taking a long drag, and holds it in, in hopes that the burning sensation might feel worse than the feelings that are bubbling up in her gut right now. 

"Wait Adore!" Trixie runs in Adores direction to catch up.

"Why'd you leave?" Trixie asks with sad eyes

"Why'd I even come?" Adore chuckles as she takes another drag, and continues to walk.

"So you aren't even going to tell me?" Trixie pleads trying to pull Adore back by her arm

"What is there to tell Trixie?  I just had to wait in line for you to tell me this when the first fucking person you tell is Manila, what's that about?!" Adore scolds as she yanks her arm away from Trixie's grasp. Trixie begins to feel her heart shatter as her best friends rejection slowly sinks in. 

"I'm so happy for you, ok? I just need some time alone." Adore walks away, and flicks away her burning cigarette in the process. 

Trixie walks towards her apartment that's currently filled with her intoxicated friends, and finds a bench to sit on. She buries her face in the palm of her hands, and begins to sulk. It starts raining, and with that Trixie takes it as a sign to bawl her eyes out that way when she walks back people will assume the rain as the main culprit to her running mascara.
