Chapter 54:

"There's my little June Bug!" Nick said as I carried June into the living room. She had woken up about ten minutes after Vivian and I had left the room. After changing her diaper and feeding her, I was finally able to bring her back out, happy as could be.

I gave June to Nick and decided to head to the kitchen to get a drink. On my way, I saw Lauren playing with Kevin and I smiled, glad that I got to share my two wonderful babies with my friends.

As I walked into the kitchen, I stopped dead in my tracks.

Vivian and Joey were making out in the kitchen. Vivian saw me and instantly jumped away from Joey.

"Oh, hi Jess." Vivian said, blushing.

"Hi." I said awkwardly. "What's going on here? Since when have you two been going out?'

"Ummm…nine months." Vivian whispered so soft, I hardly even heard her.

"What!" I exclaimed.

"We met at the wedding, and really clicked." Joey began. "We started dating a week later."

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought we told each other everything, Vivian." I said. I was really hurt by the fact that Vivian or Joey, two of my best friends, never told me they were dating.

"I'm sorry. I just didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't know how you'd react." Vivian explained.

"Alright, well are you guys going to make out some more, or are you going to join the party?" I asked. Both Vivian and Joey blushed, then we headed back to the living room.

When the party was finally over and everyone went home, I got a phone call from my mom. Desiree had called her home phone wile I was at the hospital, but she never picked up. She doesn't have a cell phone because she never thought she's need it. Desiree left a message saying I was in labor, but mom never called back, until now.

I answered the phone. "Hey mom, what's up?"
