Chapter 8

Chelsea was 8 months a long. She was already on maternity leave. She was doing fine so far. She helped Shaily with her wedding planning. Shannon also helped. Whenever Shannon was in town, Chelsea and Shannon always had dinner together.

It was May and Shannon had a day off and decided to pay Chelsea a visit. "Hey Chelsea, how are you holding up?"

"Good, my stomach is huge" Chelsea replied. Shannon laughed knowing how being pregnant was.

"You wanna go out to eat?"

"Sure, I have a craving for Chinese" Chelsea said, rubbing her belly. Shannon got up and smiled.

"Fine, it's settled we will go to China Buffet" And so they went. The two friends talked for hours about everything.

"So, when is Shail getting married?" Shannon asked.

"In July. She won't be showing that much," Chelsea answered.

"Wait, Shaily is pregnant?" Shannon asked, confused.

"Yes, I didn't tell you. I must have forgotten" Chelsea explained. Shannon sighed. It was about 3 weeks since Zig proposed to her. Therefore, she must be over 7 weeks already.

Chelsea winced when she ate that last shrimp. Shannon saw that face and immediately knew she was having the baby.

"Oh my god, are you having the baby?"

"Yes, call Brian. He's at work."

"Ok" Shannon got out her cell and called Chelsea's husband. While doing that Shannon and Chelsea got into Shannon's SUV and drove to the hospital.

"Hey Brian. Um, it is Shannon. Chels is having the baby. I'll meet you at the hospital, bye," she said, hanging up after that.

"Breath, dammit breath" Shannon said.

"Shut the fuck up Shannon"

"Oh yeah don't make a pregnant lady mad" Shannon joked. Chelsea glared while doing her breathing. Shannon stopped laughing when she saw the face. "Brian is meeting us at the hospital"

"Ok"

"I'm calling Shaily as well"

"Ok, she might be doing wedding plans" Chelsea confessed. Shannon turned into the parking lot and parked. Getting out of the car, helping Chelsea too. When they were in the hospital, Shannon checked Chelsea in. The nurses put her in a room to check up on her since she was having twins. Brian came in an hour later.

"Baby, how are you? Are you ok?" Brian asked.

"I'm fine. Where is Nicole?"

"With Shaily and Zig"

"Ok" Chelsea said, taking a big breath.

Brian smiled at his wife. Shannon was outside, calling Squid to check in with him. She saw Shaily come to her.

"Is Chelsea ok?"

"Yes she is. She is having the twins right now. Brian is in there with her," Shannon said, getting off her cell phone. Shaily sighed and sat down. Brian came out smiling. Shannon got up. "2 boys" he said.

"So did you name them?"

"Dylan and Josh" Brian said.

"Oh good" Shaily answered.

Brian looked around for his daughter. Shaily smiled and got up to hug Brian. "She is with Ricky buying some presents for the babies," Shaily said.

Shannon smiled and left the hospital. She needed to get back to Texas. Back to her husband and kids.

Back in the hospital, Chelsea was smiling down at her two new children. She will enjoy having them. Brian was beside her with Nicole.

"They are cute mommy"

"Yes. Now you are a big girl," Chelsea said smiling at her daughter.

"YAY!" Nicole yelled.

"Shh, you'll make them cry" she said, smiling. Nicole sat down on the floor and played with her Barbie dolls.


Shannon was back at home. She had a lot of work to do. Squid was always at work. The kids are always at school; Shannon had a lot of alone time.

She was sitting down at the couch when Squid came in. He smiled and sat by her and rubbed her feet. "How was work Alan?"

"Hard, our whale is having a calf"

"Awww" Shannon said. Squid smiled and kissed her foot and moved to the next one.

"Yea, how are Chelsea and the twins?" Squid asked.

"Good, they made it out ok" Shannon answered. Squid smiled and kissed her.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too," Shannon answered. Squid got up, took Shannon's hand, and took her off the couch.

"Where are you taking me?" Squid grinned widely and dragged to their bedroom upstairs.

"Ok, now you thinking" Shannon said. Squid laughed and went in their bedroom and closed the door.
