Alya glared at her reflection with intense scrutiny.

  It had been several months since she had had the disastrous baby shower and it had been that long since she had even seen or talked to Chloe.

  Alya had heard through the grapevine that Chloe was so mortified regarding the whole incident that she was forced to leave town. It was said that Chloe feared everyone at the party that day would stir rumors about her sudden overdose and those same rumors would somehow make it back to her parents who already shunned her for being the way she was.

But of course, that never happened. 

They were a tight knit group, and if they knew Chloe needed some space and understanding, they'd give her just that. It wasn't in any of their characters to stick their nose in places where it didn't belong. 

Alya, Marinette, Nino and Adrien knew more than anyone that Audrey Bourgeois was cruel to Chloe. They wouldn't do such a thing to exacerbate that type of behavior. 

But then again, it still didn't explain where Chloe had gone off to.
It went without saying that as the months went by, Alya only grew bigger and bigger. It was knowingly part of the pregnancy and it was natural for her to be this big, especially nearing her third trimester. 

Over the course of time, Alya found that working her late night shifts at the bar had only become difficult and the morning shifts she worked as a food caterer was just as difficult. She couldn't stand on her feet for long periods of time, and by the time her shift ended, her feet would be bigger than watermelons. They often swelled that bad. 

  Fall was just around the corner, and the next thing she knew it was already here. The humid of the rain was constant and Alya was completely miserable. 

Nino tried his best to pick up the extra slack by working double at the nightclub where he played music on his DJ system, and Alya was incredibly too headstrong to accept handouts from either Marinette or Adrien. 
The brunette sighed, placing her hands on her round belly as she looked down.

   Despite everything, she knew things could always be worse and even though Alya would refuse to accept the help when offered to her, at least she knew that if she didn't have anything else for means, she'd still have her friends to back her up.

Marinette sighed, gliding her dark red lipstick across her plump lips before she set it down back into her purse.
  She was a quivering mess. 
It felt like forever and a day since she had last seen Chloe and it went without a doubt that she was curious to see what happened.

  During the summer, Marinette vividly recalled that she had went to see Chloe the next day after she was admitted to the hospital and she was gone. She wasn't sure if she had changed rooms and wasn't told, but Marinette knew that Chloe had the ties to be moved in secrecy. 
  Marinette buttoned her jacket, her chest feeling heavy as she contemplated how long she wanted to be out. 

She had been married to Adrien for quite a few months, and though Adrien had been out more than often for charity events especially when it came to holidays, their relationship had pretty much stayed the same since the summer.
Marinette still scowled at her virginity, and despite being comfortable with him this whole time, they never got around to actually making love.
