Shards Of Pain

Piece of My Heart

Char. You have to let me take you shopping. You're pregnant and gaining weight and running out of clothes to wear. You can't keep wearing Henry's sweat to school. Chloe whined.

If I agree, will you stop whining about it? Charlotte asked rubbing her small baby bump.

Yes. Chloe said grabbing Charlotte's hand and pulling her out of the room.

What have I gotten myself into? Charlotte asked herself as she followed Chloe out to her car. Chloe pushed Charlotte around the mall buying all sorts of items for her.

Chloe, This is too much she said gesturing to the large number of bags Chloe was carrying.

Nothing is too much for you and besides, I have nothing else to spend my money on. She said hugging her friend.

Thanks, Chloe. I can't wait to show Henry all the clothes I got. I'm early in my pregnancy but still, none of my clothes will fit and I've been wearing sweats for the past couple of weeks. I didn't think the weight was supposed to come too fast. Charlotte explained.

I don't know the first thing about pregnancy but I do know you, Char. I think you are worried about gaining baby weight. Chloe mused.

I am. I'm worried when I get fat that Henry won't want me anymore. Charlotte fretted.

I am positive that You won't have to worry about that, Char. Henry is in love with you whether you are fat or not. He knows you are carrying his child and it makes him so happy. I can see it in his eyes. Chloe assured her friend, rubbing her arm.

Thanks, Chloe. You always say the right thing. Charlotte replied hugging her friend.

No, we have to get you some sexy lingerie. Chloe said dragging Charlotte towards her favorite store. A few minutes later, Charlotte was standing in the middle of the door covering her eyes.

Chloe, I can so not pull that off. Charlotte gestured to the lacy black number Chloe was holding up.

I think that's up to Henry to decide. I'm buying it for you. You'll look hot. She said.

It's not like I really have a choice. Charlotte said giving in, but secretly looking forward to Henry's thoughts when she put it on for him. Chloe picked up a few more racy, sexy numbers, and a few more constructive negligee's and went to pay. Charlotte chose to walk out of the store, so she didn't see what Chloe spent on her and so far that morning, Chloe had spent a large amount of money on herself and Charlotte. it was impossible to reign Chloe to reality.

Now I was thinking we go get our nails done. Chloe suggested

Whatever you say, Chloe. Charlotte said following her down the mall.

And maybe a massage? Chloe suggested.

Sure. Charlotte replied.

Yay. Chloe said clapping her hands and taking Charlotte by the hand to pull her to the spa.

A little while later...

The girl was on massage tables while two very hot massage therapists worked all the kinks out of their backs.

girl, your guy is so hot. Chloe said whispering.

Really? I haven't noticed. Charlotte said simply.

Oh seriously? You may be pregnant and taken but that doesn't mean you ogle hot guys. I do it all the time. Chloe said.

Once the massage was over, The girls went to the mani-cure section where the nail technicians went straight to work on their toes. Chloe wanted her nails done a soft bubblegum pink which suited her perfectly while Charlotte opted for blood red. The girls talking animatedly while the technician buffed, massage, soaked, and polished their toes. This was the most relaxing day Charlotte has ever had. While pedicure was underway, Her phone started ringing.
