"Aunt Jude!" Ashley cried, digging through her suitcase, "I can't find anything to wear for tonight!"
"Just a minute, Ash!" Jude called back, as she swallowed one of the vitamins that the doctor had prescribed for her.
"Kay!" Ashley called, finally finished throwing clothes out of her suitcase and onto the floor.
"Are you sure that Mom didn't pack any of my skirts in your suitcase?" Tiffany asked her sister, who was on her bed, playing one of the Quincy's guitars (it was too much of a hassle for her to bring hers to Toronto).
"Huh?" Tiffany asked, looking up from the guitar.
"I said, 'Are you sure that Mom didn't pack any of my skirts in your suitcase?'"
"For the fifth, and final time, YES, I am SURE that Mom DIDN'T pack any of your skirts in my suitcase!"
"Are you sure? Maybe I could…"
"I'm positive Ashley!" Tiffany cut her sister off.
"What's the problem, girls?" Jude asked from the doorway.
"I can't find anything to wear to the concert!" Ashley complained.
"What about the outfit that you're wearing now?" Tiffany asked her sister.
"It too... you know…."
"What?" Jude asked.
"To… everyday…" Ashley whispered. "I mean, usually Mommy takes Tiff and I shopping for these types of things. And even so, I have my complete wardrobe at home," she explained.
"Oh," Jude replied.
"Well, do you think that we could go shopping Aunt Jude?" Ashley asked hopefully.
"Well…" Jude said with unsurely. "I'm not very fashionista…"
"Please Aunt Jude!" Ashley begged.
"Yeah, please Aunt Jude!" Tiffany echoed her sister.
"Well…" The real reason that Jude was unsure about shopping was that she didn't know what was going to fit, because of the "bumps" in her stomach.
"Take Kat," Tommy suggested from the doorway. Since when did he get there?
Kat, of course! She would know all about shopping for stylish clothes! Why didn't I think of that? Jude thought excitedly.
"Oh my gosh, Tommy you are brilliant!" Jude said, walking over to Tommy and kissing him lightly on the lips.
Tiffany and Ashley giggled softly at the slight.
"Yeah, thanks for the idea Uncle Tommy!" Ashley exclaimed.
"No problem Ash!"
"Don't let your ego get too much bigger!" Jude joked.
"Hey!" Tommy put his hands on his chest, and pretended to be offended.
Tiffany and Ashley giggled again.
A phone call to Kat, and 20 minutes later, Jude, Tiffany, and Ashley were at the food court in the mall, and waiting to meet Kat.
The three were sitting at table, when Jude spotted Kat, who was strutting towards them.
"Oh my gosh!" Jude ran over to Kat, and hugged her good friend. "You look fantastic!" she commented.
"You too!" Kat hugged her friend back. "I think that living with a fashion-plus man has actually done you some good!"
"Hey!" Jude said, pretending to take offense.
"Aunt Jude…" Tiffany said tapping her foot, slightly annoyed that her and her sister were being left out of the conversation. "Are you guys talking about Uncle Tommy?"
Jude smiled. "Oh, yes, sorry Ashley," Jude said turning towards Kat. "Kat this is Ashley," she pointed towards Ashley. "And this is Tiffany," Jude pointed towards Tiffany.
"Tiffany and Ashley this is…" Jude began to tell her nieces.
"Kat Benton!" Ashley's draw dropped. "Or I guess it's really Kat Andrews, now. You're like a Project Runway winner and guest judge, and Hollywood celebrities first stop for clothing. You're like my idol!" Ashley squealed.
Kat turned to Jude.
"Wow. When you said that your niece was a 'fan', I didn't realize that what you really meant was 'obsessed'," Kat commented.
Ashley looked hurt at that comment, and Kat noticed this. She bent down to Ashley's level.
"Oh, honey," Kat, said with sincerity, "I didn't mean it like that. I'm really honored that you like my work. And I love those shoes!"
"Really?" Ashley asked, sounding happier, "My Mom and I got them from Kitsen(A/N: SP? It was Paris Hiltons favorite store at one time, from what I hear from my friend and my aunt) in Hollywood!"
"Kitsen? No way! I've been dying to go there! Is it true that that they actually have a red carpet for celebrity visits?"
"Yup!" Ashley grinned.
Meanwhile…
A sunburst colored Gibson guitar had caught Jude and Tiffany's eyes, and they stood in awe gawking at it.
"It's like I died, and went to guitar heaven!" Tiffany said dramatically, even though she wasn't trying to. "Somebody pinch me!"
Jude pinched Tiffany's shoulder, but not enough to really hurt her.
"Hey!" Tiffany exclaimed, rubbing her shoulder. "Wha'd ya do that for?"
Jude gave Tiffany an 'innocent' look, and said "I dunno!"
"Meanie."
'Liar."
"Meanie!
Liar!"
Meanie-"
"Hey!" Kat exclaimed, above the two's loud bickering.
"What?!??!" Jude and Tiffany asked annoyed, at the same time.
"Shut it. If you two can't talk without fighting, then don't say anything at all," Kat said, sounding like a Mother would.
"Fine!" Jude said exasperatedly.
"Okay…" Tiffany trailed.
"Good," Kat said sounding satisfied, as her eyes trailed somewhere else. "Oooh! I looove that sweater!" she exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Ashley jumped up and down.
"Come on!" Kat grabbed Tiffany's hand, and they ran into the store together.
An Hour Later…
The four had finally finished shopping, and were now in the car, driving back to the Quincy's house. Tiffany and Ashley sat in the back, Kat had shot gun, and Jude was driving.
"That…" Tiffany let out a deep breath "Was the best shopping trip ever!"
Kat smiled, "I'm glad that you had so much fun!"
Jude and Tiffany were also smiling, but not for the same reason.
Let's just say that it was lime green with candy apple red hearts, had six strings, and was electric.
There was silence for a few moments, until Ashley finally spoke.
"Kat, Aunt Jude says that you're going to have a baby!"
"Yes, I am… wait... how did you know? I haven't told anyone yet…"
Jude suddenly shoved on the break. "What? You are?!?!?!" she asked.
"Yes," Kat smiled, giving Jude a look.
Five minutes later, the car pulled into the Quincy's drive way.
Everyone got out with their stuff, and hustled to the door, because they had to leave for the concert in less than an hour.
Jude opened the door to her house, and was about to call "I'm home!" but what she saw made her draw drop down to her feet…
