The Baby Plan

Chapter 5

Took me a while to post this, my ADD works against me but here is a new chapter.

"I'm trying so hard right now." I tell Megan exasperated. She knows she can't fit into this miniature blue dress, but still makes me try to zip her up. I don't have the patience she does so I just put on a black jumper, I'd bought earlier and was actually my size, some pumps and a bit of makeup.

"I know I can fit, you just need to try a little harder." she insists. Her determination is admirable in some instances like at work, but not in this one.

"Auntie Megan, I think you picked the wrong size dress." Erick probably came to investigate the grunts coming from this room.

"Erick if you're not helping then go and continue drawing or something." she says and sticks out her tongue at him. I shake my head, I have a ten year old for a best friend.

After ten more minutes of struggle a miracle happened and the dress finally went up and to be honest it made her look really hot and if you add in her hourglass figure, red curls, tan skin and amber eyes she's ready to slay, not that that was our intent.

Tonight we were going out as sort of a bachelorette last night out. Christina wasn't keen on the whole bachelorette party idea for herself and Zara agreed with her, so we are just going to spend a couple of hours at a club dancing and drinking some. Christina had some kind of relaxing spa day and a dinner with her closest friends while Zara, Megan and I go clubbing for the evening.

A knock on the door alerts us that Alex arrived to babysit Erick.

When I open the door Alex enters with a pizza box and odd expression on his face. He probably wanted to do something tonight that didn't involve children but Christina volunteered him and he didn't object so that's that.

"Alex, are you sure you're up for this?" I haven't seen Alex in a while and hadn't known him very well as he was two years older than us, but, Zara told me he was a successful architect married to his work. Although he didn't have much experience with other people's children he did babysit his younger siblings when he was younger.

"Alyssa don't worry, your kid is eight not two, and from what you've told me he spends most of his time drawing, I'm sure we'll bond over that."

I'm positive they will, Erick is really passionate about his drawings and is constantly looking for someone, who isn't me and actually draws or sketches, to share his work with.

I'm a little over protective of him, I admit, but it's because he was born VSD and had to have surgery when he was a month old. I was so afraid of something going wrong during the surgery that I cried the whole time. It's been years, but I could never shake the fear of losing him.

I kiss him and warn him to behave with Alex and leave with Megan.

As we drive to the club at which we'll meet Zara, Megan reassures me that Alex and Erick are going to be fine. I'm still anxious, but I know she's right.

When we reach Zara is there and waiting on us. We enter and Megan goes directly to the dance floor while Zara and I decide to get a drink.

With my Daiquiri in hand I turn and watch Megan dance her ass off with the couple of guys around her. She can have fun anywhere.

Suddenly I sense eyes on me and turn my head towards the direction of the feeling. My mouth turns dry and my heart speeds up. In a corner, by the door, is someone I didn't expect to see for a couple more days.

Daniel Henry is watching me with a smirk on his face and an intense look in his eyes. Women surround him like always, more so now he's famous, but he seems to be fixated on me. I've seen that look before, and I plan to disregard it. I turn to Zara and tug her towards Megan. The three of us dance together without a care in the world for about thirty minutes, until my bladder started to wave a flag.

"I'm going to the bathroom." I scream in Zara's ear.

On my way back to the girls someone takes hold of my arm and spins me around, and of course I don't even have to guess who it is.

"Alyssa Macormik, I haven't seen you here ", he pauses dramatically "probably since graduation."

He is so theatrical and I sigh inwardly. I just hope he's mature now.

"There's was nothing keeping me here so I left."

"Well it's great you're here now, and looking better than ever." He gives me a lascivious look over.

"What do you want Daniel?"

"How about I buy you a drink for old times' sake?"

"Old times' sake? We were acquaintances at best."

"We can get to know each other better then."

"Don't you have enough friends?" I say and nod towards the girls behind him that are eyeing him like hungry piranhas.

"I don't mind one more, so what do you say?"

Eww he hasn't changed, but it doesn't matter, I don't want any kind of intimate relationship with him apart from the one that comes from him being my son's uncle. Which he doesn't know yet.

"No thank you Daniel, so now if you're done, I have to go meet my friends."

As I walk away from him, I hear him shout.

"See you at the wedding then."

Why did I ever sleep with that asshole, I admonish myself. As I get to my friends I try to forget that encounter.

Around one I exit the club to call Alex again to check up on Erick.

"Hello Alex, how is everything going?"

"Everything is fine he still sleeping like the last time you called and I was just dosing when you called." That made feel guilty.

"Sorry I woke you, I can't help my anxiety, but thank you again for taking care of Erick tonight."

"You're welcome it's no problem, I know it's in a mother's nature to worry."

"Okay bye Alex"

"Bye"

My nerves are calmer now.

"So you're the reason Alex couldn't come tonight." A voice says behind me. Of course it's Daniel.

"Well sorry for detaining him, he'll back with you tomorrow."

"So you have a son, interesting." No it's not.

"Yes, and how is that interesting?"

"You just got a little more appealing, I've always wanted to sleep with a hot mom." He's unbelievable.

"Are you serious? We are never sleeping together."

"If I recall correctly we already did, twice."

No we didn't.

"What? We only slept together once buddy, your memory is messing with yah.''

Please let me be right.

"I think it's you who doesn't remember right, Lisa, I know I took your virginity and I know we had sex a year later, sometime before graduation." As he says it he winks.

No no no no, this cannot be happening, I think I fucked the wrong brother.

You saw that coming didn't you?

Please point out any grammar or spelling errors you notice while reading so that I can fix them.
