Real Love- A Kenny and Dolly Story

Chapter 10: Double Date Part Two

Kenny's POV:

As we arrive at Tootsie's bar, our local attraction here in Nashville, I turn to look at Dolly as she's fixing her hair and makeup in her compact mirror.

"Baby, what are you doing?" I ask her.

"I'm fixin' my hair and makeup."

"Why? You look perfect as always."

" 'Cause, it's windblown and my mascara is a little smudged."

"You were the one who rolled down your window." I said as l got out and came to her side.

"That's because I was hot." She said as I opened her door and she slid out of the seat as we held hands and walked to the entrance of our local bar.

"And you still are." I said as I kissed her cheek.

"Oh my goodness! Kenny and Dolly, we were not expecting y'all." A voice called out.

"Oh hi. How are you?" Dolly asked her.

"Fine! It's so exciting having y'all, plus Conway and Loretta here."

"Where are they?"

"At your usual table."

"Thank goodness!"

"Dolly, can you sing tonight along with them?"

"Umm... I haven't been feelin' well that great today and I would, but I'm afraid that I can't tonight."

"Kenny?"

"Maybe when I've eaten something."

"Dolly, you should try something on our new menu." The woman said as I had a feeling that would not be a great idea.

...

Dolly's POV:

"Oh no! I'm sick at my stomach." Dolly said as I wrapped my arm around her waist.

"Maybe some soup would help fix that."

"Sure and a ginger ale along with it."

"What about a glass of wine Dolly?" The man asked.

"No, I can't drink. I learned that the last time."

"What are y'all? Pregnant?"

"Actually, I am." Dolly said as she beamed.

"I was just kidding!"

"I'm not."

"Aww honey, congratulations! When is the baby due?"

"In November."

"Boy or girl?"

"We have no idea yet."

"Don't they detect that now?"

"They do, but I'm not that far along yet."

"How far along are you?"

"Only two months along."

"I mean the week."

"Oh, I'm only fourteen weeks."

"How did y'all conceive him or her?" She asked as Dolly smiled.

"One long, romantic night two months ago."

"Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?"

"Either is fine.''

"Have y'all told Conway and Loretta yet?" She asked

"Not yet."

"What?"

"They have their own lives and it's hard to catch them at home."
