Veronica POV:

Today me and Xavier are planning on telling my mom that I'm pregnant. So we are going to butter her up with all her favorite things. Xavier is cooking at the house right now, Mason and Omar helping install the jacuzzi she's been wanting for months. Me and my mom are about to get our nails done, anything she wants. Then I'm taking her shopping, and by the time we finish doing that the boys should be done with dinner, and then Mason and Omar goes home and after dinner we tell her.

We give her a perfect day and she gives us the reaction we want.. right? I mean how can someone be angry when they've got all that they've wanted in one day.

"Appointment for Verna and Veronica Anderson, mother daughter beauty work special." My mom said excited.

The lady with the long straight black hair and dark brown eyes directed us the massage chairs, with the foot bucket at the bottom that costs way to much to just soak your feet in a fancy soap and the thing vibrates your feet. But she likes it so she's gets it. In all honesty I do too, but this time I'm paying.. not with my money but Xavier's.

My plan was to hide from her, hide the pregnancy and everything. I wanted to just be normal around her, and when I started showing I would just wear giant T-shirt's and sweatshirt. The days I would be in the hospital because of contractions and everything I would just say that Xavier took me on vacation and a crazy couple gave us their baby and begged us to take care of it. Because she couldn't say it wasn't true, she wouldn't have been there... technically neither was I but you get the point.

I sat down in the chair next to hers, she was already in position and relaxed and everything. They only had four people in shop today so two of their attentions were on me and my mom and she felt like a queen. She knew exactly what she wanted to the nails with every detail.

"I really have been needing this." She tells me. 

I kind of tricked her into think it was her idea. I told her I'll be home later because I was going to get my nails done, right after I "convinced" Xavier to make me diner. But I "didn't know" what I wanted to suggest so my mom chose for me. But as I was leaving I can see in her face how bad she wanted to go, but she only told me to have fun so I said, "when was the last time we actually spent quality time as mother and daughter?" With that she was already following me to the car. We called in on our way there with everything she wanted. So there's no suspicion that Xavier and I might be telling her something she maybe doesn't really want to hear.

Xavier POV:

I've been cooking all day, going back forth between cooking and helping the guys install the jacuzzi because apparently reading English on an instruction manual is so hard.

"Wow it smells good." Mason said coming in from the back door.

"Thank you." I smile. "It's jambalaya, rice, well done steak, gravy with green beans, corn and mashed potatoes." I tell him as I'm proud of my cooking.

"And you're sure I can't stick around for that?" He asks, tempting to kick out Omar. 

"I would if this wasn't an important dinner. Things could still go wrong after this and if they do, and or don't, then I don't want anywhere in case she gets embarrassed."

"Fair enough, but I can't get a little bit of anything at all?" He asks.

"Ok you and Omar can have some once you've finished up setting up the Jacuzzi." I offer.
