-Chapter14-
- Baby Shower -

A couple of months had went by, and fast. The club is actually doing very well. A huge hit on Friday and Saturday nights. We had decided to keep the club open every day of the week, except for Sunday. I have had doctors appointments out the butt. Eve and Shane had went with me to everyone of them. Being that the club is open pretty much every night, and we all work there, Eve, Shane and Michael quit their other jobs. Now Shane and I have a lot more time together. So do Eve and Michael.

A few doctor appointments back, Shane and I found out that we were going to have a boy and girl. So, of course once I got home, I tried to find something that would be for both. I ended up finding a wall mural of Winnie-the-Pooh and friends on the internet. So now the nursery is plain white. But, on one wall is a huge picture of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Eve and I had called up Ke$ha, Cascada, and Hayley Williams, to go on a shopping spree. That was one fun filled day. Eve ended up buying a few more Skelanimals things. So did the rest of us. I had picked up some shorts and capris. I had also got a few large t-shirts and baby doll shirts that would cover my baby bump.

In the last two months, or so, I had been craving watermelon, homemade chicken salad, and chocolate milkshakes with french fries. Each week, I was either sending Shane or Eve to the store to pick up at least five large things of chicken tenders. I always made it by hand. For some reason, it always came out better than what you buy at the store.

Last month, Eve and I had talked about the wedding. We decided to wait until after the kids were born, before walking down the isle.

Today, my mom, along with my family, are giving me a baby shower. Which brings us to where I am at the moment.

"Eve are you almost done?"
"Cool it missy. You can't rush perfection."

At the moment, Eve has me sitting on a chair in my bathroom. She had the great idea to curl my hair, like she did the night we had the Halloween party. My hair had gotten a lot longer since I got pregnant. Which meant, Eve cut, re-highlighted, washed, dried, and was now, curling it. The highlights were the same as before. Black hair, blonde and pink highlights.

"Alright. I'm done." Eve said while unplugging the curling iron.
"Thank you God!" I said getting up and walking down to the kitchen.

Eve walked in five minutes later. She caught me with a spoon in one hand. In the other was a huge bowl of chicken salad. Which I had made earlier in the day.

"What are you doing?" She asked while placing her hands on her hips.
"Eating. What's it look like?"
"We have to be at your mom's house in less than a hour and a half. And your still not ready."
"I can be ready in five minutes. Plus I'm hungry."
"There will be plenty of food at the party."
"Yeah. But, not my chicken salad." I said taking another bite from the bowl, and licking the spoon.
"Uh huh. Don't make me get Shane on you."
"What's Shane going to do? He's been listening to me. Not the other way around."
"Ugghhhh." She said while throwing her hands up in the air. "I so need a vacation!"
"Hey! Same here. The only way we would get a vaca is to have a early bachelorette party."

With that being said, we looked at each other and smiled.

"God I love you! Please tell me we can." Eve said.
"Yeah. Call Michael and Shane. Tell them to get over here now!"

While Eve called, I continued eating. Shane busted through the front door less than a minute later. Michael was right on his heels.

"Claire! Where are you? What's wrong?"
"Kitchen!"
"What's wrong? Everything ok?" Shane said walking over to me.
"No."
"What's wrong?"
"Shane calm down. Nothing is wrong." Eve replied.
"Then why did you tell us to get over here right now?"
"Because we have to talk."
"About?"
"We need a vaca."
"We're taking the bachelorette party early." I said.
"Ok. That's fine."
"Which means ya'll are doing the same." Eve said.
"That's fine with me." said Michael.
"I'll get everything together. I'll tell Amelie and the employees too." I replied.

After talking a little bit about leaving for a vacation, and once I had eaten all my chicken salad, Eve and I went to get ready. I had picked out my outfit, right before Eve got all happy happy with doing my hair. It was simple, and cute. A pair of blue jean shorts, along with the white and gray Skelanimals dress/shirt that Eve got me for Christmas. A pair of gray flip flops finished off the outfit.

Eve's, on the other hand, was a black and purple dress from 'Kitty's Got Claws'. It was simple, but with a retro feel to it. The dress was black, while purple trimmings were around the shoulders and waist. Eve's outfit was finished off with a simple pair of black high heels.

By the time we got to my mom's house, we had thirty minutes to spare. But, everyone started to show up right after we arrived. Of course, mom had made the 'Mom to Be' button, which I had to wear. It was tradition in our family. Instead of the traditional pink and white, or blue and white ribbon, mine was a mixture. You could say that it was the rainbow 'Mom to Be' button. There was a mixture of pink, blue, white, orange, yellow, green and purple. It didn't matter though.

When everyone was there, we played games, ate, and of course, opened presents. Eve decided to write down what everyone had gotten me. So I could later send out the Thank You cards. Being my family is so big, I got a huge amount of stuff.

Diapers, wash cloths, shampoo, lotion were the main things. A few of my aunts had gotten me some outfits. My mom decided to get me a diaper bag. Inside was filled full of baby powder, shampoo, bottles, and a blanket for each of the babies. The blankets she had made, which was very nice.

When all was done about three hours later, mom helped load everything into the car. Eve drove to mine and Shane's house. I had called him before I even left my mothers, to tell him to come and bring the stuff inside. Everything was put up in the nursery. Eve and Michael were back at their house. Me and Shane were finally alone. I plopped down on the bed and relaxed.

"Babe you ok?" Shane asked from behind the bedroom door.
"Yes hun. You know you can come in right?"

As he made his way into the bedroom I started to get comfortable. Which meant that I was stripping in front of him.

"You know what happens to me when you do that, right?"
"Yes. But I'm not doing it intentionally. I promise." I said with a smile. "Will you do me a favor please?"
"What you need?"
"My red lace night gown. Its in the top drawer."

By the time Shane found my gown, I was laying on the bed in just my underwear. He walked over and sat beside me. I slowly sat up, with a little help from Shane.

"Thanks." I said as a smile creep across my face.

He had the smart idea to help me put the gown on. I held my arms up and he slid the lace over my head and down my body. Afterwards I moved so my back was laying on a few pillows.

"So, how was the shower?"

"Good. We got a lot of stuff. And it wore the crap out of me." I grabbed Shane's hand and pulled him up beside me. Right after I touched Shane's hand, one of the babies kicked. "Oh!" I said while placing my hand on the spot.

"What's wrong? Please tell me there's nothing wrong." Shane had began to get very worried about me these last few months.
"Nothing's wrong one of the babies kicked." I said with a smile. "You want to feel it?"
"I don't want to hurt them."
"Baby you're not going to hurt them." I said while grabbing his hand and placing it on my stomach.

After a minute or so I found the right spot. I was looking at Shane's face the entire time. Right when the baby kicked his eyes got wider and a smile came across his face.

"You felt it didn't you?"
"Yeah. You sure I'm not hurting them?"
"Yes I'm sure. They know their daddy too. Every time you touch me they start to kick."
"No they don't."

"Yeah they do. It gets kind of annoying though. I get my butt kicked from the inside all day long. And their first play toy is my bladder." I said with a laugh. He started to rub my stomach, and I leaned my head back. "You know if you did that to either my feet or lower back, I would love you forever."

"You don't have to ask. Just tell me. Which you want done first?"
"Feet please?"
"Alright."

I slid down just a bit, to where my back was actually on the bed instead of the pillows. While I was doing this, Shane moved down to the foot of the bed. I lifted my feet up just a bit, and he pulled them down onto his lap. I was in heaven the moment he started on my left foot. I closed my eyes and almost went to sleep. After five to ten minutes, he started on the right. The same went for that one. Once he was finished, he moved up to lay beside me. I gave him a kiss then turned onto my left side.

Once his hand met my back and started to move, I really was in heaven. My lower back has been killing me. But, I'm very thankful that I have my hubbie here to help me out. After a good twenty minutes or so, I was out. I don't remember anything after that. All in all, it was a very good night. With all of the pampering of course.
