A/N: Hey all :) I've got some good/bad news, depends on how you take it. So, I was just wanting to let you all know, there will only be two more chapters after this one. I know, I know, y'all are all probably cussing me right now LOL, BUT after an ending of one book, isn't there usually another one? Yes, so i guess y'all know what that means :))))) What do y'all think? Should there be a second book, or should there not be? It's up to y'all, so be sure and let me know what y'all think. Remember what I always say, YOUR OPINION DOES MATTER :))

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

(RECAP)

"Mary!" Some called. Someone whose voice sounded familiar. It's a woman, but who?

"Mary, it's me Wanda," she calls, "what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home? Dang girl, you've diffinitely grown since this morning."

"Hey Wanda," I answer, " yes I should be home, but we need to get this done, you know, before the kids get here. Plus, Dr. Teston doesn't have to know." I laugh and so does Wanda. Dick is standing with his arms around me, rubbing my stomach. We continue talking a bit longer. We invite Wanda to come with us, and she agrees.

"So who is this Dr. Teston?" Wanda asks.

"He's a wonderful doctor, and the best part is, is he's a vampire" Dick answers.

"What's his full name?" she asks.

"Dr. Liam Teston, why?" I ask.

"Liam Teston!" Wanda screams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WANDA's POV

Shit! How did I not see that he was a vampire? How did I not smell it? Being a witch, I can normally sense these things. What the hell came over me that night? The alcohol, it must have been the alcohol, that's all I can think it  could be, but why? Shit, shit, shit!

"Do you know him?" Mary asked confused.

"Yeah," Dick said, "why'd you scream his name like that?"

"Sorry," I laugh nervously, "I don't know why I acted that way, and no, I don't know him."

"Wanda," Mary said, concern in her tone, "what are you not telling us, how do you know Dr. Liam Teston?"

"I don't know him!" I yell, not realizing how loud I've gotten.

"Fine," she screamed, "don't tell me, can we please just continue shopping for the babies!"

We all agreed, and continued shopping. I grabbed a few suits, showed them to Mary and Dick, and placed them in the buggy, then made my way over towards the toy section.

I can tell Mary and Dick are wanting to know about Liam, but it's just not something I can tell them. I know if I do, they'll both hate me, and then tell Joseph, and I can't let that happen. I have to keep this secret, no matter what. Even if it means, pissing off my two closest friends. Hopefully they will forget all about it, and I know just how to make them!

"Is this the only buggy y'all have?" I ask, pointing to the one Mary is pushing.

"No," they both answer, "why?"

"I was just asking," I say, trying to keep any kind of lying look off my face, "where is the other one or ones?"

"Up front, by the cashiers," Dick answers, "why are you asking about our things?"

 "I want to see if y'all got something," I say lying through my teeth, "would you two mind, if I went and looked, to see if you might have picked it up?"

"Go ahead." Mary said with a curious look on her face.

"I'll be right back!" I exclaimed and walked towards the registers. I know they can afford this, but I need them off my back. So, maybe by paying for these two buggies, full of goodies for the babies, they'll forget all about my reaction to the name of her doctor, Dr. Liam Teston.

"I grab each buggy, and get in line. Thankfully there's only one lady ahead of me and this won't take long. I'm happy to be doing this, yet I'm sad, because I hate keeping secrets. Maybe, I should tell one of them, but which one? I've known Dick a lot longer, but he's a guy and well... and Mary, sweet reliable Mary, I haven't known her long, but I think I know who my choice is, and it's her. I'll tell her, but only when it's me and her, with no one else around.

"Ma'am," the cashier says, "it's your turn, can you please place your items on the counter?"

"Sorry," I reply, " I have a lot on my mind, and wasn't paying attention, as you could tell."

I hastily place the items on the counter, and no sooner did I feel the counter up, it was empty again. Damn this girl is fast, like really fast. I feel the counter up again, and this time don't stop adding things, until both buggies are empty. I slowly start putting the bags back into the buggy, making sure not to break or damage anything. Finally, I place the last bag in, then wait for the total.

"Your total comes to two hundred fifty-eight dollars and thirty three cents." the cashier beams.

I hand her my card, smile, and wait for the receipt.

"Can I leave the buggies up here," I ask, "my friends are still shopping, and they don't know that I've  just paid for these two buggies."

"Just keep the receipt on you," she says smiling, "and I'll watching the buggies for you."

"Thanks!" I yell while jogging back towards, Mary and Dick.

I stop along the way, noticing the cutest ballerina outfit, with shoes included! I grab it of course, because I know Mary will love it. Before I reach them, I spot another outfit, only this time it's for a boy. It's a jersey and it has a pair of blue jeam shorts with it, DIck is going to like this a lot, being a football fan like he is. So I grab it. Now I have two more things to buy their little babies. I love babies, I'm just so glad it's someone else that's pregnant this time, and not me. I laugh out loud at the thought, and quickly push it to the back of my mind.

"Look what I found!" I giggle as I walk closer.

"Awe, they're both so cute!" Mary says in a cute baby voice.

"I'm getting these for the twins," I grin, "oh, and here." I hand over the receipt for the other two buggies up front.

"Wanda!" Marys yells.

"Wanda Wilkerson," Dick growls, "I can pay for my babies things, you didn't have to pay for them!"

"Calm down you two," I laugh nervously, "I wanted to do it, and believe me, I know y'all can afford it."

"Thank you Wanda!" they both say, each giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"It's the least I can do for my two closet friends." I grin.

"Dick," Mary suddenly says, "I'm not feeling well, can we pay for these items, and go home?"

"Yes baby," he told her, "Wanda can you walk her to the car?"

"Of course." I reply

I take Mary's hand and help her walk to the front, and out the door. Mary looks pale, and suddenly she stops. She looks at me, and says,

"So Wanda, how exactly do you know Liam Teston?"

I just stared...
