Our Hourglass (Sequel to Perfectly Photogenic)

Chapter 41

"So what kind of shower do you want?" Matt asked from his desk.

"I don't know, just a regular baby shower? We're not throwing a three ring circus."

My life is already becoming a circus.

"You pick a place?"

"We're having it at our house, Jaime's got most of this stuff taken care of. All the girls will be at the house and Ryan's going out with the guys, since we're having it on his birthday."

I looked over to Emilee's desk, she had her headphones in as she did work on her laptop. I feel bad talking about this in front of her, then again I don't. She screwed up, caused one too many fights and I'm done. It's great if Vinny can tolerate her, but I can't.

"So how's the father to be doing?"

"Good. He's constantly worrying about something, I'd hate to see his reaction the actual day I give birth."

"He'll faint."

"Wouldn't doubt it." I chuckled.

Ryan's POV

"Emilee and Brianne need to drop this feud." Vinny told me as I watched him play video games.

"Brianne wants nothing to do with Emilee on a personal level anymore. They work together and that's it, strictly business."

"Remember when I punched you in the face for being an asshole to Brianne? I forgave you for the things you said and you forgave me."

"I don't think it'll be that easy..they're females, they're brutal to each other." I explained, raising my arms.

"Pfft, those two are harmless, I don't think they'll kill each other."

"You don't know Brianne, dude."

My wife's the nicest person you'll ever meet, but you don't want to get on her mean side, trust me.

"Brianne's too forgiving and nice."

"Have you forgotten she's pregnant?"

"We'll have a double date. Have the girls start talking again."

"Again, have you forgotten Brianne is pregnant?"

I have a bad feeling about this.

Brianne's POV

Work was long over now and I was flipping through the TV channels in the living room when the front door opened, I peeked over the couch and saw Ryan walking in.

"Hey, you."

"Hello, Mrs." He walked into the living room and sat beside me, kissing my cheek. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really, why?"

"Feel like a double date?"

"With who?"

"Rick and Jaime."

"I don't know, Ryan? I'm just tired and I already changed into my sweatpants."

"It'll give you and Jaime to talk more about the shower, come on."

Man, Ryan was being really persistent that I go out tonight. The hell is his deal?

"Alright, I'll go."

"Awesome."

I got off the couch and walked upstairs, going into the bathroom to take a shower. I got my hair and body washed and walked back into the bedroom to get myself dressed. I put on a pair of black leggings, a light blue top and a pair of white sneakers. I dried my hair and threw it up into a bun and applied some make up.
