A/N: Jaik: I might do something with Amy and Lauren's parents but I'm probably going to take a break after this (a.k.a. a day or two lol). I have a Calculus final exam thingy coming up soon and I need to take some time to study. A tidbit about Huck: I like doing things quickly and I am genuinely frustrated and a tad bit angry that I can't learn Calculus in a day. Completely crazy but I never claimed to be sane, haha!

Also I might change this chapter later when I find the time because I didn't feel like it flowed well. I'm not really great at writing dialogue or actions for multiple people at once, so I feel like I failed hard there. If anyone has any suggestions about how to improve the above problem, I would love to hear them. I do hope that everyone does enjoy reading the chapter but if not I don't mind hearing it that you didn't, I welcome all kinds of criticism.

Disclaimer: I do not own Faking It or any of the characters.

"Thank you for calling the Physician's Pavilion, have a great day and goodby-Ms. Raudenfeld!"

Amy, who was just five feet short of the staircase leading to her office, turned to face the receptionist sitting at the oval desk in the center of the private practice's lobby.

"Yes Maggie?" Amy tried her best to not allow her current irritation to seep into her voice.

Amy had spent most of her weekend and the first part of her week being yelled at by Shane for being two hours late to lunch Saturday and this morning she had gotten a text from him stating that he'd be coming by her office with a surprise. As much as Amy loved Shane and the occasional lunches the two shared, she did not love Shane surprises and she sure as hell wasn't in the mood for one.

"Er, your sis-."

That's all Maggie was able to get out before Amy took off up the steps to her office. Amy already knew what she was going to say and boy was she glad for it. She practically skipped down the hall to her already open office door.

However when Amy finally stands in theoffice doorway she instantly grows confused.

"Huh?"

Stretched out on the long brown couch in Amy's office was Lauren and at the end of the couch holding Lauren's feet was Tara. However, that's not the reason for Amy's confusion. Hanging from the office ceiling are pink streamers, on the lounge chair sitting in front of the couch there is a pink balloon tied to each of it's arms and on the wooden desk at the back of Amy's office there is a medium sized cake surrounded by a small tray of finger sandwiches and several cans of soda.

Lauren grins at Amy. "Like what we've done with the place?"

Tara snorts. "You mean what I've done with the place?"

"Well I'm 8 ½ months pregnant! What was I supposed to do?"

"Tie a balloon?"

"Tie a ball-."

"And what exactly is going on here?" Amy asks interrupting Lauren and Tara's bickering; she's still standing in the doorway looking utterly confused.

Tara removes Lauren's feet from her lap, the action earning her a glare from the other woman, stands, walks over to Amy and takes her hand leading her to the lounge chair. When Amy is seated, Tara bends over and hovers with her lips just inches before Amy's.

While staring into Amy's eyes, Tara licks her lips slowly. When she sees Amy's breathing hitch, she smirks. "Baby shower, love." Then she gets up and heads back to the couch to cradle Lauren's feet again.

Amy looks dazed for a second before she lets out a groan. "You're such a tease." Tara gives Amy a shrug and grin. "And what baby shower?"

Lauren laughs. "So you actually remember that part of the conversation?"

Amy rolls her eyes. "Again I ask what baby shower?"

"This one right here." Lauren smirks.

"Aren't you having one next week at The Joint?" Amy asks, confused again.

"Eh, decided to have one with just the three of us thought it would be super fun," Lauren begins.

"But if you want us to leave we have no problem letting you get back to work." Tara finishes

The two grin evilly at Amy. Amy just shakes her head. "You two are terrible! How could I ever say no? But unfortunately it's probably not going to be the three of for very long. Shane's dropping by."

"Are you kidding me?" Lauren asks angrily.

"Wish I were but he's been pissed with me all weekend because of lunch." Amy throws a pointed look Tara's way.

Tara crosses her arms and scoffs. "Well if you two had paid attention in biology class my cell development lecture would have been way shorter."

Lauren snorts. "You mean instead of two hours it would have taken an hour and fort-five minutes?"

"Anyway," Amy says interjecting the two for the second time. "Shane texted me this morning and said that he had a surprise for me. I'm assuming he's coming to chew me out in person."

Lauren groans. "Well damn! Leave it to Shane to ruin my 'people I like' baby shower."

"You like me?" Amy asks in an exaggeratedly shocked tone.

Lauren just rolls her eyes. "Shut-up Amy."

When Amy pouts, Tara breaks into laughter. "You two have some serious issues!"

"They sure do!"

Amy, Lauren and Tara turn to see Shane standing in the office doorway. Shyly standing to the left of him is Karma.

Amy gapes and Lauren, in only the way Lauren can, states. "Karma's not a surprise Shane, it's a bitch."

Shane ignores Lauren and walks to stand by the couch on Tara's side. Once inside of the Office he looks to the still gaping Amy confused. "What's going on in here?"

"Baby shower, a private baby shower." Lauren answers without missing a beat. "One that I'm pretty sure you weren't invited to."

Shane turns and glares at Lauren. "Already texted Amy this morning to tell her I was coming."

"She didn't know about it," Shane looks to his side at Tara who gives him a small smile. "It was something Lauren and I put together last minute." Tara then turns to Amy and smirks. "Just a small piece of payback for your last year shenanigans."

Amy, momentarily forgetting Shane and Karma's presence, smirks back. "Just a small piece, huh? Will I get paid back in other more private ways?"

"Mmmhmm." The look Tara gives her is damn near seductive.

"Okay, enough with the mind fucking!" Lauren states with an eye roll, something she feels like she's done entirely too much this morning, before glaring at Shane again. "Still doesn't explain why you brought," Lauren turns to Tara. "What's your word for her again Tara?"

Tara scowls. "It." At the doorway Karma visibly cringes.

Lauren smirks. "It to Amy's office."

"Yeah," Amy begins. "Why is Karma here?"

And that's the million dollar question Amy wants to ask so badly at the moment. Shane knows that Amy and Karma are no longer friends friends and that they barely talk. Heck, Shane even knows that Amy has not seen Karma since a couple of weeks after baby William was born when she had went to meet the little boy for the first time. He also knows that the visit at Karma and Liam's home had been incredibly awkward for Amy since She and Karma had very little to talk about and that Liam's presence had made Amy feel very uneasy. The only thing he doesn't know is that after the visit that Amy had decided that it would be her first and her last.

Karma finally steps into the office and gives Amy a small smile. "I wanted to see my best friend."

Amy gapes again and Lauren snorts. "So you routinely ditch your best friends for a decade and a half?"

Tara bursts into laughter, barely noticing the glare Karma is tossing her way, and gestures towards Lauren. "Hashtag WCW, right there!"

"Hashtag WCW?" Shane asks looking at Tara confused.

Tara gives Shane a smirk before wiggling her eyebrows in mock seduction and giving a slight nod in Lauren's direction. "My woman crush Wednesday."

Before Shane can respond, Amy jumps up from the lounge chair and puts her hands to her chest dramatically as she feigns shock. "But I'm your girlfriend!"

"Well Lauren's my woman crush Wednesday! You can share on Wednesdays!" Tara wears a playful grin.

Lauren smirks. "Yeah Amy! Stop being so damn selfish and greedy all the time!"

Amy points at Tara, close to tears from holding back laughter. "That there is my woman and I don't share!"

Shane is laughing at the scene. "You guys are fun, I need to hang out with you more!"

From the couch Lauren groans. "Please God no!"

Amy and Tara just laugh at Lauren. Shane, not caring about the insult, does the same.

Karma is the only one not laughing. She's just standing close by the door with a horrified look on her face as she stares at Amy.

"She's your girlfriend Amy?" Karma asks quietly.

Everyone else in the room goes silent at Karma's question.

Amy doesn't even look at Karma, she just smiles over at Tara who gives her a smile back. "Yeah."

Karma looks hurt. "Why didn't you tell me you were seeing someone?"

Amy turns to her and shrugs. "Well you barely talk to me and I guess I didn't really think it was any of your business or that you'd even want to know."

Karma smiles sadly. "I'm your best friend Amy, of course I'd want to know."

Amy scoffs, enraged. "Really now?" Amy waves a hand toward Tara. "Well that beautiful, beautiful woman over there is Tara Acosta and she's my girlfriend." Then Amy gestures lazily toward Karma. "Tara this is Karma."

Lauren snorts. "Well that wasn't much of an intro." Shane glares at her pointedly. "What?" she asks, deliberately playing coy.

Shane shakes his head. "Come on Lauren!"

Karma ignores the two and turns to Tara, giving her a once over before saying, "Hi, it's nice to meet you I guess."

Tara gives her a very small smile. "I guess the same."

"Happy now?" Amy asks coldly.

Karma turns back to Amy. "Please don't be this way."

"I'm not being any kind of way Karma, this is just how I am when I'm done taking your shit." Karma looks wounded and Amy softens a little. "Fine. If you want to be friends there will be conditions."

Karma smiles at her words. "Okay."

"I'm not here to be used by you, I have my own goddamn life and I intend to live it. I'm not dropping my shit at a drop of the hat to attend to your needs. Understood?" Karma nods. "That's it for the moment. You and," Amy looks to Shane. "Shane need to get out of here so we can have Lauren's 'people I like' baby shower in peace."

With that Shane and Karma say their goodbyes and quickly shuffle out of the office, closing the door behind them.

When they are finally gone Amy drops down into the lounge chair looking completely exhausted.

Tara gets up from her seat on the couch and goes to stand behind Amy. She lowers her hands to Amy's shoulders and begins to knead them gently.

"You know love," Tara begins quietly as she works on Amy's shoulders. "they say Karma's a bitch but I'm starting to think it's getting confused with forgiveness. Forgiving those who hurt you just so you can live and be happy, now that's a real bitch."

Amy closes her eyes as she begins to relax against the chair. "Definitely."

"I better be getting one of those back massages next." Amy's eyes snap open as she and Tara both look towards Lauren. "What? I tell myself I'm going to get a little payback and crash Amy's office every once and a while so I can annoy her and relax but instead this is like some real stressful shit."

"Well when I'm done with Amy you can have all the massaging you want, you are my WCW after all." Tara states with a smile.

Lauren nods. "That's more like it."

"Hey!" Amy shouts. "I still don't share my woman!"

Lauren and Tara laugh.

"I mean it!"

They laugh harder.
