Chapter Two-a solemn promise between two friends

The wedding is fast approaching and her ever growing baby bump is getting bigger with every week that passes. Until recently saw in the dream or as assumed it to be when witnessing the death of herself and two of her quads. Was it a dream or could be actually a vision of the future that will come.

Walking along through the busy crowd of the streets, searching for the perfect dress to wear for the day and make it special and rememberable. Entwined their arms within eachother as they walk along the wedding shops, going to every one that they could find in New York and not finding the special dress she wishes and desires to wear. Taking a pit stop at small diner where they relaxed for abit and had a cup of coffee.

"Neesa you ok?" April concerningly asked, as the mother-to-be was beginning to tire in her pregnant state.

"I'm ok, just alittle annoyed and frustrated. We have been to every store in town and tried every dress on to find that special one. I want a dress that will make Leo remember always." Neesa said, upsettingly

"Neesa...Don't worry, we will find the dress you want. I promise." April reassuringly replied

The mother-to-be softly smiled.

"Maybe, we are looking in the wrong place." April reassuringly answered, returning the soft smile.

Softly exhaling sighed, agreeing with her close friend. "Maybe, you're right. We have plenty of time for the wedding but not alot of time until the arrival of my babies." Neesa said, agreeing and accepting the assertion.

April confusedly frowned and wondered as she answered, a curious question. "What...what do mean...Babies? How do you know that you could be having more than one?"

"I need you to promise me something, April. Swear to me, never say a word about what we will be discussing right now." Neesa softly murmuring and pleadingly requested, staring her coffee.

"You have my word, I swear it." April vowed, promising Neesa but unsure why.

"Please swear it April!" neesa pleaded

Slightly gasped in shock and replied, pledging her oath. "I swear."

"I had this dream, more like a horrifying nightmare. I saw that I will give birth to not one but four babies and I'm afraid that I will lose them and die myself during childbirth." Neesa whispery explained as she glared into her cuppa and glanced her reflection in the coffee.

"Don't be ridiculous...you're serious aren't you?" April replied, immensely confused and frowned. Neesa nodded, twirled her finger around the coffee the mug rim and not facing April once. Giving the mother-to-be an concerning look and wondered what would happen if this information she promised to keep as a secret from Leonardo but hopes that she is only be alittle paranoid due to her hormones and hoped it won't in deed come true. What Leonardo think or how will he feel if he had to face that heart break once again.

Putting the wary assumption aside and tried not to think about what was been discussed and changed the subject alittle but remained on the baby conversation. "Do you know which one or two will be a girl or boy?" April asked curiously

"Three girls and one boy." Neesa replied

"Which two...you believe or already know that you're going to lose?" April asked, feeling sad and sorrow as it waved over her instantly.

Softly sighed as she tried to avoid crying. "Two girls...not sure if which two." Neesa replied, unsure which two will be taken.

The concerningly and reassuringly friend, reached over and grasped Neesa's hand, softly smiled when she gazed up. Returning the smile, gently grasping April's hand. "I won't say anything." April answered, making her solemn vow.

"Thanks April...shall we try again when finished our coffee?" neesa suggested, thanking April and smiled

Returning the smile and softly nodded. The friends finished the coffee, paid the check then left and began with their search again, finally found the last bridal shop on third street. When they stopped outside the Jean Fox wedding store on Third Street, staring the dress displayed in the window. Imaging herself wearing the gown and then instantly knew it was perfect. A huge happy grin grew on her face as she didn't hear April speak.

"Neesa...Neesa?" April softly called

Neesa turned and faced the unsure friend. "You alright?" April asked

"Yeah I'm ok...I believe we have found the perfect dress." Neesa stated, happily now that their is over.

"Where?" April frowned

Turned back to the window and stared the dress on display. April stepped forward to see and was astounded by the dress and admired how beautiful it looked. Neesa dragged April in the shop and went straight to the counter and requested for the dress in the display window.

The shop clerk glared the pregnant woman and softly smiled, saying. "So? When is the wedding?" the shop clerk asked

"Next month." Neesa happily replied

"Well...I think we better get started, shall we?" the clerk stated

"I'm just gonna be over here for a second, ok." April told Neesa, pointing to the bridesmaid dresses

Neesa smiled and nodded, then followed the shop clerk the other dresses that she assumed that Neesa wanted, instead taking down the dress she required.

"Would this dress be the one, you wish to wear the special day, ma'am?"

"Could I try on this one please?" Neesa asked, pointing the dress behind her.

The shop clerk turned and faced the dress on the other mannequin then faced Neesa, softly smiling. "Of course, ma'am. Just give me a second to take it down." Shop clerk softly requested.

"Thankyou." She replied, went to sit down and wait.

April browsed around and found two bridesmaid and flower-girl dresses but had to wait until Neesa observed them before officially making the decision. The clerk took the wedding gown down from the mannequin and assisted Neesa with the dress.

Walking to the dressing room just when April finally noticed and followed. "If you need any assistance with the gown, just call out and let me know." The clerk offered

"Of course, thankyou." Neesa gratefully replied

April walked past the shop clerk and assisted with trying the dress on. April was amazed as what she saw and thought one word. 'Wow!'

"Would you like a hand?" April offered

"No thankyou, April. I want to do it myself." Neesa gently replied, smiling.

April returned the smile and nodded, left the dressing room cubicle and waited outside.

To be continued in chapter three...

A/N: Lexi is the flower girl. April, Mona and Tealana are married which none of them can not be made of honour for neesa's wedding. Despite the checkered past between herself and elissia which Neesa is willing to forgive and not really forget but she hope elissia will accept neesa's proposal to be her made of honour. What will elissia say to neesa's request?

Wow three girls and one boy. That is big number for a first time mother. Can anyone think of names? Anyone? Well whatever you think would be taken to heart and names must be Japanese, Egyptian or Wiccan (witch) names. This is a supernatural story. Have fun and may the best name win. If you cant think of one. I'll probably think of some but any suggested names would be nice and would be taken to heart and appreciated. Thankyou.

If Elissia does accept neesa's proposal to be her made of honour her dress is a lilac Giselle designable gown with tulips as her garland and bouquet that will be as a wrist gouache.
Lexi flower girl dress is a belle sleeved gown with gold flower imprint around the rims of the gown.
