Okay, here I was huffing and puffing. For starters, I have one pair of jeans left and they did not fit! I did have plans to go to the mall with Claire and Kim. I have to say that's a good thing. I did need clothes but what am I going to wear there. Can't wear just only a large t-shirt and panties.
I layed down on the bed and sucked in like I usually do but nothing budged. I couldn't even zip the damn things. I gave up, snatched them off and threw them across the room. I looked down at myself, frowning at my belly sticking out. I have gained about ten or fifteen pounds and it sucked. I don't think I'll ever get my body back to normal after this! Stretch marks were not my bestfriend. Hell even my boobs were starting to look like boobs. ha!
I was at my seventeenth week and I could feel the baby moving at times. It wasn't a real full blown movement. It was lite as a feather. I ran my hands over my belly, smiling. It felt so weird to have a life inside of you.
"Maria!?" My name was yelled in the front room. I knew Claire and Kim arrived and I wasn't even ready.
"I am in here! I can't find nothing to wear!" I yelled back at them. I got up and went straight to Embry's drawer. I pulled out a pair of his sweat pants and yanked them on when the door opened.
"Lord, look at this room!" Kim sighed looking around the room at all of my clothes that I threw down that didn't fit. I refused to let Embry move my clothes from the suitcase that was on the floor empty. She raised her eyes to me looking at me with a grin. "Good thing we are going shopping. Not only for the baby but damn it for you too."
"That was my plan." I huffed putting my hair in a pony tail. I was too tired to even fix my hair or even put on makeup. I gave up on it. I was about to go out the door but Claire stopped me.
"Here. I brought you this." Claire smiled at me handing me a bag. I glanced in it and there was clothes. "Emily said that she knew that you would need these. She also made it clear that they are clean; so, put them on." I blinked away the tears that was forming in my eyes and gave her a little smile.
"Sometimes I think that woman is an angel." I mumbled taking the clothes out and putting them on. It was a really nice blue silky material that hung over my belly that had a v-neck showing what clevage that i had and the pants were a little snug but fit just right. I quickly slipped on my flip flops.
"Wow! Looks really good on you." Claire said. "Nessie and Alice is meeting us at the mall. She has a surprise for you. She also called to tell you to hurry up."
The sound of Nessie's name shocked me. I haven't heard from her since I found out my dad was a vampire. She had to go with them to help out with him for a while. I wasn't into finding out any information but I did miss her. I wonder if my dad is okay?
Nessie was half human and half vampire. Just a whole new story on that. Something about her mother while she was a human falling in love and being married to Edward. And then on their honeymoon coming up pregnant with Nessie. Confusing. I was too tired to even go into that story. It was interesting story though.
I wasn't surprised to find out that the whole Cullen clan was vamps. I haven't really met all of them but I have heard the guys talk about them. I guess if they trust them, I will too. They protected each of us.
"Well, I guess let's go." I said walking by them into the livingroom to grab my purse. "Let me grab me some crackers. I promised Embry that I'll slack off my chocolate. I hate it." I groaned as I grabbed the crackers and threw them in my purse.
I had a thing with big purses. If i can fit everything in them, I wanted it.
"Alrighty, you two let's go! We have a big day ahead of us! Kids are at daycare and men are working! Fun for us!" Kim said to us, as one by one walked out of the house. I pulled out my sunshades to block out the sun rays.
"A freaking hot day too! I thought it was going to start getting colder." Claire grumbled a little as we all go into Kim's van.
"Thought wrong I guess." I grinned at her. She stuck her tongue at me.
"Well, I think we're going to have fun. So, chics, lets go!" Kim said turning the radio up and started going down the road.

"Nessie, why did you have to do this?" I whinned at Nessie, who was sitting next to me in a salon chair waiting. She had a big smile on her face and I couldn't help to give her one back. The stylist was standing behind me giggled as she kept on cutting my hair what felt like really short in the back.
What the hell? Is she trying to scap me? She had me turned away from the mirror. It was not fair!
"Because you need it. You look all wore down. So, Alice and I decided to treat you into some pampering. You already got medi and pedi. To top it off with a hair cut too!" She said proudly. I looked up at Alice who was sitting in a chair flipping through a magazine. She looked up and smiled at me too. I knew she had a freaking vision. Stupid vampires and their gifts, I rolled my eyes with a smirk.
There was just something about her that made me smile. She was very cute and always happy. Gosh! If only I had her spirit now a days.
"Alice, thanks. I have to say I do need this. Where did Kim and Claire go?" I asked them.
"Oh, they went to shop for you and the soon to be baby." Alice softly said with her smooth voice. "Trust me, you will like everything." She winked back at me and went back to her magazine.
Gosh, that was sweet of them. I thought again about Chloe. I missed her so damn much, I had tears starting to form. I sniffed and thought of something else.
I felt a gentle tug on my hair and noticed that the stylist was straighting out my hair. After about ten minutes, she turned me around. So, I can get a good luck of her work.
Oh my god! I sat there stunned at the reflection of myself. I didn't look the same. I slowly touched my hair which was soft to my touch. It was cut really high in the back and long in the front. It looked perfect.
"Ooh la la! " Kim said swaying in with Claire. They both had a lot of bags in their arms. "Embry is going to love this! Good thing we have a party tonight on the beach. Everyone is going to be there!"
"Yep, and so are we." Alice said in a bubbly voice.
"Everyone?" I asked slowly. My heart started to beat really fast.
"Calm down, sweetie. No not everyone. Jasper, Edward, Bella, and Esme are not going to be there. They are still with your father out of country. Everything is looking up though." Alice said with a grin. "So, you guys ready?! I'm ready to get things ready for the party!"
"Oh god! Come on, let's go before Alice starts bouncing. That's all we need is everyone thinking we are crazy in here." Kim said rolling her eyes and giving Alice a grin. Alice flipped her credit card at the stylist and signed the reciept.
"I guess we'll meet you two at the beach then, Nessie." Claire told her. I didn't see the wink that went over my head.
What the hell is going on here?! I thought to myself as we slowly started going out of the mall to Kim's van. There had to be something going on here, I thought biting my nails and moved them away quickly. Nail biting wasn't a good thing after getting them fixed.
