Hey guys. I am so sorry for not updating for 2 months. My life has been super busy since school started. I am a junior this year and I have 3 Dual Enrollment Classes and 2 AP classes. I have a lot to handle. I will update when I can. I love you guys and I love the reviews you give me. In between posting chapters for this story, I might upload one shots every now and then. Without further ado, I give you chapter 14 of Everything is Different Now. Enjoy. :)
Everything is Different Now
Chapter 14: Exciting Day
Laney's POV:
It has been a couple of months since Carrie and Corey told me the news about them getting married. Things have been pretty crazy. Me and Larry have been planning for our wedding while Corey and Carrie have been planning for theirs. Me and Carrie have gotten really close lately and decided that we want to have a double wedding.
Larry and Corey were okay with it. They thought it was a cool idea. Also, we decided to merge our bands and become the Grojmans. The last time we did that was when we were 13 and it was only for one day. Kin, Kon, Kim, and Konnie were cool with the idea of being one band.
The date for the wedding is in a little more than a month. I am really excited. Me and Larry are having our honeymoon in Disney World. Corey and Carrie are staying home since Carrie is pregnant. Carrie wanted to go to Hawaii but they can't fly anywhere since she is expecting.
They are going to have their honeymoon after Carrie has the baby. When we are gone, my parents are going to be watching Lance. They are happy to take care of him. They also joked that after my honeymoon they will probably get another grandchild. I just rolled my eyes at the joke.
Tonight is my bachelorette party and Larry's bachelor party. I told him that there better not be any strippers at his party. He just laughed and assured me that there wouldn't be. Tonight is also Carrie's bachelorette party and Corey's bachelor party.
We decided to have double parties. The guys (Larry, Corey, Kin, Kon, and Nick) are going out to party while us girls (Me, Carrie, Kim, Konnie, Trina, and Mina) are going to Carrie's house for our party. I have about 3 more hours until I'm gonna head over there.
Right now, I'm just sitting down watching a movie since Larry's at work. I watch for about 10 minutes before hearing Lance babbling loudly in his room. I get up and walk to his room. I go over to the crib and pick him up out of it. I carry him into the living room where I was watching the movie.
I sit there holding him and rocking him gently. He babbles happily as he tugs on my shirt. I smile watching him. My smile fades as I start thinking about my parents' joke. Am I going to have another baby? Do I want to? These questions just end up triggering more questions.
Does Larry want anymore kids? If I am going to have anymore kids, I am going to have to discuss it with Larry. My thoughts are broken when I hear a giggle come out of Lance. I look down at him to see him looking up at me. I hear a noise behind me and slowly turn around.
As soon as I'm turned around, I hear someone shout. "Boo!", Carrie shouts. I scream and jump a little. I sit there as I listen to her laughing. "Y-you should h-have seen your f-face.", she manages to get out despite her laughing. I roll my eyes at her.
"Yeah, so funny.", I remark. She stops her laughter after a few more seconds. "So, what are you doing here?", I ask her. "I'm bored.", she says. I look at her with a face that says "Seriously". "What? You can't tell me that you aren't bored too.", she says.
I open my mouth to respond then close it after realizing that she is right. She looks at me with a smug face since she knows that she is right. "Whatever.", I mutter. She lets out a laugh before sitting down next to me. I look over at her and see her stomach.
It's not that big since she is only three months pregnant. Carrie sees me looking and rubs her stomach. "I can't wait to find out the gender. I hope it's a girl.", she says. "How has it been so far?", I ask her. "It's been good aside from the morning sickness and moodiness.", she says.
"So, are you and Larry going to have another one?", she asks. "I don't know. We haven't talked about it.", I say. "Oh.", she says. "Do you want to go ahead and go over to my house?", she asks. I sit there for a few seconds before answering her.
"Sure, let's go ahead and go.", I say. We leave and drive to her house after dropping Lance off at Larry's parents' house. We soon arrive at Carrie's house. We go to the door and go in. Since the others won't be here for another couple of hours, we decide to just watch some tv.
After a couple of hours, sure enough, we hear a knock on the door. Carrie starts to get up but I tell her that I'll answer it. I get up and walk to the door. Once I open it, Kim and Konnie walk in. I move out of the way quickly. They look at me once they are inside.
"Oops. Sorry Laney.", they say at the same time. I can't help but laugh. They are so much like Kin and Kon. "It's ok.", I tell them. They smile at me before running up to Carrie. They hug her before excitedly talking to her. "You ready?", they ask her. "Yeah.", she tells them.
I watch as Kim comes over to me and looks back to see Carrie talking to Konnie before she starts whispering to me. "Do you think you could keep Carrie busy for a little bit and keep her in the living room? We have a surprise for her that we are setting up in the garage.", Kim whispers to me.
"Yeah, I can do that.", I whisper back. "Thanks.", she whispers before going over to Konnie. "Hey Konnie, I forgot something in the car. Do you want to come with me to get it?", she asks her sister. Konnie nods before her and Kim walk out the door.
I go over and start a conversation with Carrie. I do as Kim asked me and kept Carrie busy for about 30 minutes. Then Kim and Konnie came in and told us to come to the garage. Carrie went in front of me. As soon as she walks in the lights flash on and we hear Kim, Konnie, Trina, and Mina yelling surprise.
I look around and see that the garage is decorated in pink and blue decorations. I also see the pile of presents wrapped in pink and blue wrapping paper. There's also a banner hanging that says 'Congrats On Your Baby'. Carrie looks around in surprise.
"What is all this?", she asks. "Duh, it's your baby shower.", Konnie says. Carrie looks around as she starts crying tears of happiness. "Thank you all so much.", Carrie says. We all spend the next few hours just having fun, eating cake, and watching Carrie open her gifts.
She got stuff like baby clothes that could be worn by a boy or a girl, baby furniture, and baby toys. After all of that, everyone was ready to go home. As I was walking out of the door, I got a text from Larry that said he was home already and that he had picked up Lance so I didn't have to.
I texted him back saying that I was about to head home. I got in my car and begin my drive home. I quickly got home and went inside. I went to the bedroom where Larry was. He was sitting on the computer in our room. "Hey.", I say. "Hi. I fed and bathed Lance and tucked him in already", he says.
"Thank you.", I say as I go and lay down under the blanket. "So, how did it go?", he asks. "It went good. They threw Carrie her baby shower.", I say. "How did your night go?", I ask him. "It went good. We just went out to play some pool at a bar.", he said.
I only nod. He gets off the computer and comes and lays down with me after turning out the lamp. He wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head. "I love you.", he whispers to me lovingly. "I love you.", I whisper back just as lovingly. I sigh happily as I drift off to sleep.
