   THE BABY SHOWER happened to be today and honestly, I was in the mix of feeling happy and also disappointed. Of course, this was a big deal for me but it still didn't feel complete or something I ever thought of doing this early in my life.

The baby shower was supposed to be small and in any means, it wasn't much of a baby shower. It was going to be hosted at my house and instead of only girls attending it would also be the gang. I couldn't have a baby shower or whatever this was without the gang. They helped me through this pregnancy, so they deserve to be here. Except I didn't want Dal there that much and that might sound rude considering it was his kids but after that night I felt hurt and stupid. More embarrassed if I'm being honest.

I shouldn't have ever said anything that night and now I was dealing with the consequences. The consequences of being completely humiliated. I was just tired I told myself and didn't actually mean what I said I just couldn't have and I was determined to tell Dallas that.

"I need you to be happy today it's your big day you deserve to feel happy. Don't think too much about what Dal said he was drunk and either way he probably won't come." Mary explained as she ran the comb through my hair. I sighed not wanting to think about that night it was a disaster and I know I shouldn't have said it.

"I agree with Mary. He was drunk so that doesn't completely mean he doesn't love-"

"Hazel stop. It was my mistake too. I don't love Dallas Winston it was a mistake and I didn't mean to say that." I mumbled before getting up from the chair and taking my dress to the restroom to change. Once I got inside the bathroom, I slid down against the door not wanting to think about anything anymore.

"Please just get changed, Rose. We know this probably not the best day for you but we want to see you somewhat cheerful." Hazel shouted from the other side of the door. I rolled my eyes but decided she was right. I couldn't let my feelings affect this day. Hazel and Mary had been working so hard on it so the least I could do was fake a smile and try and enjoy this baby shower.

I quickly changed into the white dress and looked myself in the mirror. It was nothing like the girls Dal ever liked and I was a fool for ever thinking he would even like me. I've recognized that New Year's was all just a mistake and no feelings were ever involved and although it hurt I had to realize that Dal was not capable of loving some girl.

"There." I faked a smile as I stepped out the bathroom. There Mary held a camera in her hands and before I knew it there was a flash coming from it.
