Its time to Party Beach Style!

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Eva loved nothing more than to be showered with his kisses. "Of course you have to say that, but I really don't deserve you. Nobody deserves you. Your perfect to the T my love." she told him, placing another kiss on his lips. She was also guilty of getting all caught up in the moment. She completely forgot that they were at the beach with tons of eyes around them, not to mention little kids. And Gaby was also sitting right by them, and Eva knew how sensitive Gaby was becoming to love antics. "Maybe we should turn it down a bit, ya know for Gaby's sake." she whispered in his ear. Then she had the delayed reaction from the meeting the parents suggestion. "Wow...you want me to me your parents? What if they don't like me?" she asked him nervously. After realizing how she just responded she couldn't help but to giggle at herself. "Wow I sound like some chick flick. Ya know when the guy acts his girl to meet his parents and then she wonders if they'd like her or not?" she explained to her supposedly confused fiancee. "I mean if you really want me to then I will because I trust you and I can never say no to you." she answered.

Gaby resumed her uncontrollable laughter as Nika continued her story. "An old woman thought Matt had the goods? Perverts whistled at you? You walked to your car naked? The ocean stole your clothing!" it was too funny. She had to ask all those hypothetical questions through some serious laughs. She felt like she was about to pee herself. "You poor things, can you at least look back on it and laugh Nika?" she asked, knowing that Matt had already proven that he could. Then she heard Nika laugh, "Well that answers that." she replied. "That's the absolute funniest thing I've ever, ever heard. That just made my day...week...ya know that may just hold me for a year." she remarked. Her face was bright red from all the laughter and her cheeks were sore from all the smiling.

Sure enough the moment had to end again because of Gaby's sensitivity to love. Nika and Matt's love was just so mushy gushy, ideal love, once in a lifetime, overwhelming feelings. It was beginning to make Gaby sick, well that and the corn dog she had just scarfed down. "Kaci not so far!" she yelled as she checked up on her kids. "It's almost lunchtime!" she told them. Then she turned back to Nika and Matt, "Care to join us for a picnic on the beach? I packed way too much food purposely." she told them. "I have sandwiches of all varieties, juices, sodas, chips, fruits, salads, chicken fingers, baked goods, subs, and much more. So don't even play the I don't like anything excuse." she kidded.

Gabriella looked back over to Kaci and the twins in the ocean and motioned Kaci to head back in with them. Truth be told, Gaby was trying to not let them being out of her sight bother her, but it did. A lot. She feared that she was becoming an over protective mother now that she had so much time on her hands. Although that would soon change since she'll be dealing with a helpless newborn before the month ends.

At the sound of the word 'food' Lillian scooped up Kylie and walked over to Gaby and the picnic basket. "Count me in." she told her. Gaby laughed, "But of course." Lillian stared at Gaby for a moment, had she been crying? It was probably about Justin again. "Oh don't worry hunny, your better off without him." she told Gaby, which of course didn't make Gaby feel any better. "I don't want to be without him." she softly replied.

Thankfully the next moment Kaci appeared with the twins. That would take Gaby's mind off of Justin. The toddlers ran over to her and climbed on her stomach and hugged her. "baby saiy hi" McKenzie told her mother, referring to the baby's kick. McKayla meanwhile clung to Gaby's leg. "baby singd" she said, not sure what she was referring to. Gaby kissed each of them on their foreheads. "The baby always says hello to his big sisters." she told them.

"Okay, time to eat!" she told everyone. "Nika, Matt what would you like?" she asked them.
"Kaci, what will you be having?" she continued. "McKenzie, McKayla...PBJ for you two with banana just how you like it." she said as she handed them their sandwiches. "And two apple juice bottles." she continued as she handed the bottles to them as well. "Okay, their set. Who next?" she asked. "Nika, what would Jamie and Jackie like? I also packed extra bottles of milk and apple juice." she explained.

Lillian called Haylie over who was still with Jamie. "all done, i no see swimmie anymore, do you jayme?" she asked. "ooh, mommy call me, wet's go weat." she said as she took his hand.

Lillian smiled as she watched Haylie walk Jamie over. Their little puppy love was so sweet and innocent. "Hey Nika, wouldn't it be funny if we ended up sister in laws some day?" she asked as she pointed to Haylie and Jamie. In the back of her mind she kept hoping that it would never happen because Nika wasn't exactly Lillian's friend. They were barely even acquaintances. Just a polite hello while passing and that was the extent of their relationship.

Tony kissed her back, wanting to argue with his love's assumption that she wasn't good enough for him, but decided not to. There was no point getting into a fight. But she was right, they should turn down the love antics a bit, they were at a beach after all. "My parents will love you. Just be yourself, I guarantee my mother will adore you. And my father will love you as well. But if you really don't want to meet them, if you're that nervous, you don't have to. I'd be nervous to if I was meeting your parents. Probably have nightmares the night before of a flaming baseball bat aimed at my head," he chuckled.

Nika could definitely go for some food. All the things Gabby was listing sounded so good to her pregnant ears. Matt chuckled, he wasn't that hungry, but he could eat something. Maybe feed Jackie. "That's good with me. Hope you don't mind if I eat all the food," Nika joked.

"Jaime probably wants peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and some potato chips, maybe some chocolate chip cookies," Nika said, "Umm, can I have some chicken, a salad, and chips. Matt you want anything," Nika asked, looking at her husband, who had taken Jackie from Maddy, rocking the boy gently, "No thanks luv, I'm good. Maddy might though," he said. Maddy smiled, "Just a PBJ sandwich," Maddy said, "Please."

Jaime was a very happy little boy. Haylie was holding his hand, the dreaded swimmies were gone, and he could see and smell food. He followed, Haylie along, smiling.

Nika tried not to show the muted horror that Lillian's comment had brought forth in her mind. She liked Haylie, she really did, she was a sweet, lovely little girl. The puppy love between Jaime and Haylie was cute, but she didn't think she could live if she had Lillian as an in-law. She didn't think she could deal with her in such large doses. They already were going to be dealing with eachother quite enough with the impending marriage between Matt's brother and Lillian's sister.

Justin and Erika got out of their cars and slowly walked toward the beach. In on arm she had had baby and one on the other. Justin was carrying the diaper bag, a glum and tired look was plastered on his face.He had been at the doctors for sometimes now getting over the accident. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair wasn't brushed. He did bring a swimsuit but at the m,moment he wore black and a Grey t-shirts. He thought his life would get back on track now that Erika was happy and settled. He only hoped Gaby would be ready to get back to what they used to have.

Erika on the other hand wore a black one piece, and black flip flops she was wearing a pink cover up and black sunglasses. The twins, Blake and Brookie were fast asleep in her arms. She found an area on the beach and told Justin to come here Justin did and dropped the bag down. He sighed and walked off hoping to find Gaby somewhere. Erika laid down a blanket and then laid the two sleeping bodies down. She took out her sunscreen and rubbed it all over Brooklyn's body then Blake's. By them both were awake and smiling and giggling. Erika put it on her and then smiled at her two gorgeous babies. If only Jake was here to see them.

Erika was building a sand castle with her two babies at her side when someone caught her eye, it was Gaby with her whole gang. A huge smile crept over her lips. She dug in her bag to see if she threw in her cell. Of course she did and she dialed Gaby's number hoping Gaby brought her phone as well.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Eva closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, "No, no...I suppose it will be alright if I met your parents. I mean I'll have to at some point. They are going to be my in-laws soon afterall." she replied. Then a dreadful thought crossed her mind, what if Tony didn't tell his parents about his engagement to her? "Uh, love...your parents do know about our engagement, right?" she asked him nervously, fiddling her thumbs as she spoke.

Meanwhile Haylie walked over to the picnic basket with a lit up face. "i holded his hand mommy" she told Lillian in a loud whisper. Lillian giggled softly in response, "I saw." she replied. Lillian kiddingly turned her head over to Nika and mouthed the words 'I told you so' to her before smirking at Nika's pregnant comment about consuming all the food. Haylie ordered two PBJ sandwiches for her and Jamie and then, taking hold of his hand once more, walked them over to a vacant spot in the sand so they could be alone while they ate.

Gaby on the other hand was busy as a bee taking food orders and handing them out to everyone. "Are you sure you don't even want some pie or something Matt?" she asked him as she handed Nika her chicken and chips. "What dressing for the salad?" she asked Nika as she shielded her eyes from the blazing sun.

Haylie then showed up un-announced and sneaked away a bag of plain potato chips for the two of them. Lillian watched her do so, but decided not to announce it, or bust her daughter so to speak. She thought it was an adorable act of puppy love. "some chips jamie?" she asked him as she popped a few into her mouth.

As Gaby handed out the food her mind continuosly was surrounded about one thought, Justin. Try as she might she just couldn't get him out of her mind. She wondered where he was, what he was doing, if he was thinking about her, and even if he was still alive or not. She hated living with uncertainty when it came to love. Suddenly her cell phone began to vibrate and she happily surprised to see that Erika was calling her. With little hesitation she answered the call. "Where are you? Where's Justin? How are you and the babies?", questions immediatly poured out of her mouth. As she waited for Erika's answer she handed Maddy a baggie with a pure PBJ sandwich in it and a can of random soda.

[nikadawson]

"Of course they know. They actually knew I was going to ask you before I even told them. Matt's big mouth," Tony told her. He had meant to tell them after he asked Eva, but Matt decided to tell their mother after she had pestered the blonde with questions of when Tony was going to find a girl. He had snapped and told her before Tony had even asked Eva. Than she had demanded Matt put Tony on the phone, and ended up pestering him for hours about the girl. Tony wondered if Eva had thought up the possibility of him meeting her parents. He knew he probably would have to a some point, though he would also be terrified.

Jaime tugged on his father's hand, and Matt smiled at his son, "Daddy, one day I gonna marry her," he said in a voice meant to be a whisper, but it was to loud, and almost everyone could hear it. Matt chuckled, ruffling his sons hair, "Course you are." Jaime and Haylie were acting so cute. He watched as the little girl commandeered his son, bringing him over to their own private spot in the sand.

"That's okay Gabby," he told her when asked if he wanted anything. "I'm not hungry."

Nika had to fight not to shove the food in her mouth. She felt like she was starving, like she had never eaten before in her life. "Italian dressing," she told Gabby, after she swallowed a mouth full of chicken. Maddy looked over at the chicken disgusted. 'Poor little chicken,' she thought, watching her almost sister-in-law devour her food. Nika was steadfastly ignoring Lillian's comment of 'I told you so.'

Jaime smiled, "Course Haylie," he reached into the bag for some chips and his hand accidentally brushed against hers. He blushed, pulling his hand away.

[shadyrock]

Erika laughed as Gaby answered her phone sounding hal;f out of breath. " Slow down Hun nothings wrong where all fine! I am over to your left, next to the big red umbrella." She paused to sit Brooklyn back up because she fell over and was crying. Blake was happily grabbing fistfuls of sand and watching it run through his chubby fingers.

"Justin is looking for you, he just got out of the hospital from his wreck. His says he misses you and desperately wants to see you." Erika pushed her dark sunglasses down shielding her hazel eyes from the suns harmful rays." My Babies are fine they are here now playing." She said calmly and softly.

Justin walked along the shoreline looking up and down the beach trying to find Gaby to apologize. He sighed and stopped watching the waves crash around his ankles. The cold water felt cold but inviting. He couldn't wait to see Gaby again.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Eva sighed a sigh of relief. "Good, because if you were planning to tell them with me in front of you then I would've had to kick you." she teased as she caressed his cheek. The thought of him meeting her parents did cross her mind but she was apprehensive about it. You see, Eva's parents didn't hear the big news, they had no clue she was engaged. This was because Eva barely to never spoke with them, much less saw them. She haden't exactly kept in touch with them since she moved so far away to Ocean Springs(her parent's live in NY) Lillian was the only one in her family who knew matter of fact and that was solely because the fact that they lived in the same town. Matter of fact, she wasn't even sure that they'd come to her wedding since they were so mad at her for leaving them the way she did.

Lillian and Haylie both overheard Jamie and smiled at eachother. Lillian found it cute as expected and Haylie found it intresting. "mommy me marry him when i all grown?" she asked Lillian. "Maybe." was all that Lillian could reply honestly. The thought of Haylie and Jamie speaking about marriage sent worry all through her body. What if Haylie and Jamie weren't just playing around with eachother? What if they were actually serious? The thought of being Nika's in law scared her and she almost screamed.

Gaby turned to Lilly, looking at her worriedly. Gaby could always tell when something was on Lilly's mind since they were together so often. "What's wrong?" she asked her as she covered the speaker of the phone with her hand, "What's bothering you?" she asked again.
"Nothing, just the thoughts of how fast Haylie is growing up is all." she replied. "Well that and also the thought of ending up being Nika's in law." she continued in a very hushed tone.
Gaby giggled, "Haylie's only three and a half, do keep in mind." she answered. Lillian couldn't help but feel dumb. "Your right, what was I thinking?" she remarked with a small giggle.

Now that everyone had their food, it was time for Gaby to satisfy her hunger. She made herself a place consisting of a chicken sandwich(what is it about pregnant woman and chicken?), some blended potato and macaroni salad, a bag of BBQ, a hot dog, and some iced cola to finish it off. "Oh my apologies, here's the dressing you asked for Nika." Gaby remarked as she remembered what dressing Nika asked for. "Hunger must have gotten the best of me." she replied in excuse.

Then Gaby remembered that Erika was still on the phone, "Oh, your here? You can see me?" she replied as she searched for the red umbrella. "Oh okay, hi. I see you too." she replied as she waved to Erika. "I'll be over there in a minute." she informed her supposed soon to be sister in law. "Wait a minute, did you just say Justins here, where? And what wreck are you talking about? Why did nobody call me and tell me he was in the hospital? I've been worried sick!" she answered.

Haylie meanwhile reached her tiny arm into the bag to give Jamie some chips at the same time that Jamie's hand was in there. As a result their hands touched one anothers. Jamie blushed and Haylie smiled. "me sorry." she told him innocently.

[shadyrock]

She laughed," Yes Hun I am here.Yes i CAN see you." She looked over at Blake he had a shell in his mouth. "No no no. Thats yucky. Blech!" She exclaimed as she took it out of his mouth and threw it out to the ocean. She looked over to where Gaby was. She was waving. Erika waved back.

"Yeah Justin's here,What?" She asked surprised," You didn't know about his car accident, it happened after the birth of the twins." I though he told you!" She exclaimed." I am sorry Hun I didn't know!! Its my fault!" She said grabbing bother her twins and laying them on the towels, being shaded by the umbrella.

[nikadawson]

"Well, no need to fret, your feet are saved from having to kick me," Tony teased. "My parents are flying out from New York soon. Ricky should be here before them, they want him to get here sooner so that he won't take off before they fly out, and than not see me and Matt, and the kids for another two years. They want to be here when Jesse's born, so their staying for a while. Good thing Nika and Matt finally found a bigger house to move into, or else we wouldn't all fit." Tony tried to imagine the whole family, Nika's and his, in the tiny cramped apartment with the kids and the dog and cat. His mom and dad, and brother Ricky, Nika's three sisters, little brother, older brother and niece who were driving in from San Francisco, and her mother, the two boys, him, Matt, Nika, Maddy, and the dog and the cat. It would be hell.

Nika kept one eye on Jaime, watching him with Haylie. She liked Haylie, really, but she didn't think she could live if she had Lillian as an in-law. Good thing they were only three and four, they were most likely just playing around. Nika poured the Italian salad dressing over her salad and the chicken, continuing to eat. It was starting to get distracting, cause little Jesse was starting up with kicking mommy's intestines again. She hoped she didn't do it to often when the whole family was here. Nika groaned in her thoughts. She had just reminded herself that her and Matt's slightly dysfunctional family was going to be in the same house for possibly over two weeks. And Ricky was flying in from whatever backwards country in Africa or Asia he had last occupied. Nessi and Ricky in the same house, it was going to be hell. She thought about renting a motel room for her and Matt and the boys, and leaving Tony and Maddy to deal with all of them, for about a minute but decided against it.

"Wish I could pawn them off on someone besides me," she muttered. Matt raised his eyebrow when he heard her comment and smirked.

"Thinking about next week," he asked. Nika nodded, "God yes, shoot me. Can't we just say Jesse's arrived already and hope they don't come down," she questioned rhetorically. Matt shook his head.

"I don't want them to come either," Maddy spoke up, "Mom and dad haven't yelled at me enough over the phone for what happened a few months ago, as soon as they get off the plane, mom's going to be screaming." Matt opened his mouth to say something to his sister, "I know, I know, it's my own fault."

Jaime smiled at Haylie, "It's ok," he said. He thought about daring to purposely touch the little girl's hand, but as soon as they almost touched he lost his nerve and pulled back quickly.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gaby was speechless for a quick moment, "He told you that he told me about a CAR accident? I had no clue! Where is he? I have a lot to talk to him about." she replied to Erika. "Oh this is stupid chatting on the phone across from one another, I'm coming over." she announced. With that said she picked up her food dish and walked over to Erika. "Aw, the babies are looking good. So small. Mine's due really soon." she said. "So where is Justin again?" she asked as she smiled down at the baby twins.

Eva looked pleased, "Your parents are from New York?" she asked him with a suprised tone in her voice. "My parents live in New York. What a coinsidence, maybe you will get to meet them someday." she told him. "Wow, all those people fitting into Ocean Springs?" she asked. "This town is going to be massively full." she exclaimed worriedly. "I'm not going to be forced to meet all your family at once am I?" she then asked him. "Wait a sec, when did Nika buy a house? I'm not even sure Gaby knows that." she questioned.

Haylie questioned Jamie's obvious tenseness. "what wrong?" she asked him as she pulled her hand out of the chip bag. It was funny how much Haylie was alike her mother, they each hated signs of rejection and weren't used to being rejected.

Gabriella couldn't help but overhear Matt and Nika and Maddy's conversation. She turned around for a moment and asked them what was going on next week."Whose coming down next week?" she asked Nika. And Maddy, if you don't mind me asking, why is your mother mad at you?" Gaby then asked out of natural curiousity. She hoped she wasn't going to be percieved as too nosy, even though she knew that they deserved to think that of her.

[nikadawson]

Tony chuckled, talk about the irony. Who knows, maybe their parents had passed each other on the street, though it was unlikely since New York was such a big city. "They've only lived there about five years. We're originally from London, but dad's international job sent him overseas. Ricky didn't want to move, so he stayed there, and use to visit every month, but he often disappears some place for months at a time without telling anyone. Mom and him don't have the best relationship. Dad and him barely speak, so if you meet him with them, it might be a little tense. And no, I doubt your going to have to meet Nika's family, I've only got three, you've met Maddy and Matt. The rest who are coming in are her family. And I don't think Nika's told anyone we've only lived there about a week, I'm currently living with them, but I wanted to talk about something with you. Do you want to look for a place to live, you know, for after we get married," he asked her. He was nervous about asking her, waiting to see her reaction.

Jaime looked at Haylie, "Nuthin, just, umm, is it okay, if I hold you hand," he asked in a nervous, shy voice, that was almost barely audible. He blushed furiously.

NIka groaned, "Everyone. Everyone is coming down next week. My hated older sister, my twin terror younger sisters, my little brother, my mother, my older brother and my niece. And Matt's parents and older brother Ricky. For some reason, they all, okay well not all, I'm pretty sure Nessi and Ricky don't care, have got the notion in their head's they want to be here for the baby's birth. It's going to be hell living in a house with all of them. I'm going to invest in earplugs cause I can just hear the screaming now. Nessi and Ricky hate each other, though they've only met a few times, me and Nessi don't get along. The twins and my mom are fighting often recently. Matt's parents are going to be fighting with Ricky, and Maddy. It's just going to be one big screaming match. I wish I could leave most of them there and check into a hotel, but I can't." Nika was getting a migraine just thinking about the weeks to come. She decided not to mention how Tony and Matt don't really get along with their brother Ricky either.

Maddy blushed and decided to answer Gabby's question, "Remember why I got sent to live with Nika and Matt, the whole going to California for a concert and not telling anyone. They're still pissed."

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Eva smiled a breath of relief, "Good because I'm not good with big families all at once." she replied. "Though I'm sure big families are fun. My family's pretty small. Just me, my parents, a few siblings, grandparents, two aunts and uncles, some cousins, and a great grandparent. Oh and two neices and one nephew." she replied. "It sounds big, but it's really not." she informed him. Then she pondered over his 'living together question'. "Well I suppose married people do live alone with eachother. I haden't actually thought about that, but I would love nothing more than buying a house with you." she answered.

On the other side of the picnic basket, Haylie blushed at Jamie's question, 'yes you may' she replied. 'is it okay if i holded yours?" she asked back as she twirled her hair like her mother did. Like mother, like daughter.

Gaby listened to Nika's hectic upcoming week story, "Wow, you sure sound thrilled." she teased. "I'd hate for my whole family to come just for my baby. I mean they weren't even there for the birth of the twins." she explained. "Why would this one be any different? Especially since they don't even know I'm pregnant again." she exclaimed. "But anyway, that doesn't matter. I just totally feel your pity." she remarked. "Totally good luck with all that." she ended.

Gaby wanted to slap her herself for forgetting about Maddys whole thing. She had that 'duh, I knew that' kind of feeling, it made her feel so blonde. "Oh yeah, I remember now." she replied to Maddy. "I can't believe I forgot, I'm having an off day." she said in excuse.

Then she turned to Erika's babies and became very anxious to have a newborn again. 'Just a few more days' she kept reminding herself.

[nikadawson]

Tony chuckled, "That doesn't sound that small. Lets see, my family, not including Nika's family. My mom has two sisters, and one brother, a sister-in-law, and a brother-in-law, than her's sister's friend that we consider an Aunt but is actually sort of my godmother. Umm, five cousins on her side, and my grandparents. My father has a brother, who has a wife, and the have three children, and one grandchild, and my dad's mother. And good, I was hoping you would say yes."

Jaime blushed and smiled a little, "It ok," he told her. He gently wrapped his fingers around Haylie's. She was twirling her hair, and he thought it was really cute. With his other hand he reached into the bag for more chips, offering some to her.

"Good luck, thanks. Except it's no me who's going to need it. It's them. Before this is over I have a feeling that we are going to be hiding a body," Nika said, "One of us is going to kill someone, I know it." Nika was overexaggerating, but she knew that someone would end up with bruises.

Maddy blushed and said in a whisper, "That's okay. I wish I could forget."

[shadyrock]

"No no hun I though you knew... its not Justins fault." She said as she stroked Brooklyns head softly as she slowly fell asleep. " I think Justins coming back..." She reported. As Gaby hung and came over to where Erika was sitting, Erika hung up and put her phone in her bag. She pushed her dark sunglasses down and looked over to Gaby. She stood up and smilied at Gaby.

"Thanks they are so fun to with I can't wait for them to older." She thanked gaby. As Justin came into the converstaion. She cleared her throat and said," Sit down hun, Justin will be coming back for some lunch soon trust me!" She laughed slightly. Erika pulled a sandwich out and a bag of chips." Is it ok if I eat?" Erika asked opened the bag.

Justin gave up he'll find her sometime. It was almost lunch and he couldn't resist eating he was starving. He turned around and started back to the bug red Umbrealla. Someone was sitting with Erika. Who was it? He would find out soon.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Eva smiled, "Your side of the families not so small either." she replied. "Sounds bigger than mine. Once our families are combined, we'll be massive." she remarked with a petite giggle. "Are you hungry?" she asked him as her stomach softly growled inside, "Because I sure am, and Gaby's handing out--well WAS handing out lunches. I'm sure there's some left, you should of seen how much that woman can fit into a small picnic basket." she remarked.

Meanwhile Gabriella was in front of Erika, but her mind was wondering about Justin. "He's here? Are you sue? because I don't see him." she remarked as she turned around towards the ocean water, shielding her eyes from the sun as she searched for him. She was getting frustrated very quick, she could not find him. She was beginning to think that Erika was just covering up for him. Before she could yell at Erika, Nika began speaking. "I'm sure you'll be just fine, their your family afterall and they love you." she explained.

Her attention was then focused back to Erika. No way did she just say that it wasn't Justins fault. "How was it now his fault? Please do enlighten me." she said somewhat sarcastically. "He could have called, even from the hospital at some point. But no, even you didn't make sure I knew." she scolded.

She turned around one more time to look for Justin and then a miracle happened, he WAS there. "Justin?!" she called over to the figure with a body. Even though the sun was shining too much for her to make out his face, she'd recognize his body anywhere. Her heart beat quickened and her stomach filled with nerves, what next? Just as all this was occurring she felt a sharp pain in her stomach from the baby and new that today would be the day.
