Chapter 2
CONNIE'S P.O.V
A week later, I stood on the kerb side next to Julie. We were eagerly awaiting the boy's departure to their 'practise' stag weekend. I for one had been looking forward to a little time without Guy watching me in anticipation of me going into labour. He was less than happy to leave me alone but went along knowing that he had his cell phone and I had Julie.
"Right, are you sure you don't want me to stay"? Guy asked me after everything was loaded into Portman's van.
"Yes I'm sure, now just go and have fun ok". I pecked him on the lips and gently pushed him to the open door, then mouthed to Charlie to try to keep him under control with the calling, he simply nodded in response.
"Right, if anything happens call me, and I'll call you every few hours ok". He shouted from the van's open window.
"Ok, stop worrying ok". I smiled reassuringly at him. "Julie will you put the man down so they can leave". I shouted at Julie and Adam who were enjoying the long kiss at the back of the van.
In no time at all, the van had hit the road leaving me and Julie alone at long last. When the van was out of sight I let out a huge sigh and followed Julie up the flight of stairs.
"Am I to take it by that sigh your happy they've gone". Julie laughed gently.
"Most definitely. Don't get me wrong, I love Guy but he's been driving me mad recently. I know he's worried but I'm really fine". I caught my breath once I got to the top.
"I know what you mean, but you've had us all a little worried recently, you've been somewhat distant".
"I know and I'm sorry but I just had something I had to work through on my own, no-one could have helped me and the more people knew the harder it would have been to work through". I explained, dodging around the full details.
"Ok, as long as you know you can talk to me about anything, anytime any place". Julie smiled warmly.
We had become closer than sisters over the years and almost everything was shared between us. We had both had our ups and downs over our 9 years of friendship but always come out on top and I hoped we always would.
"Yeah Jules, I do. And the same applies to you". I slung my arm around her as we headed to the lounge where over 10 movies were at our beck and call on the coffee table.
"So what shall we watch first"? She asked me.
"Well, we need to pace ourselves, we have all weekend".
"So shall we watch a tear jerker then a comedy"? I nodded in agreement as I went back to the kitchen to bring in our stock of junk food. We'd had more junk food in the house recently due to my rather strange cravings. Guy did most of the shopping at the moment and to save him time and effort had bought different concoctions of food to suit my rather weird tastes. On the way to the lounge I grabbed the box of Kleenex.
The first movie we watched was the Step-mom with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts, tears streamed down both our cheeks at the end and we stuffed our mouths full of comfort food as we wiped away the tears. Once the movie finished we sat in silence for a few seconds, allowing ourselves to calm from the tears.
"That movie never fails to make me cry". Julie spoke between sniffs.
"I know, I've never really been a tear jerker movie lover but God I do like that film". I giggled at the thought of what we must look like. Soon Julie was joining in and we almost immediately were in a fit of laughter, bringing us into the mood for our second choice, cool runnings.
By the end of the evening, Guy had phoned 3 times and we had exhausted ourselves through pure laughter, crying and eating. We sat stretched over the whole of the sofa and the two chairs that were either end of the sofa. Deciding not to watch anything else for an hour or so we began telling each other stories of our past before we met and as many jokes as we could think of.
"I had this friend right called David, we basically grew up together and when we were about 9 we started getting proper swimming lessons. Well this one day we had a relay race with the other swimmers, 2 on a team, well David went first and when he got to the deep end I set off. I was about half way down the pool when David started jumping up and down screaming my name. He got that giddy he actually fell in". We both cracked out laughing. I had seen a few pictures of him and he had looked a lot like Charlie and Peter put together, a little scrawny thing who was more skin and bones than flesh.
"Hey that's nothing compared to what Guy and Charlie did. It was the first day of school back in junior high and everyone bet them that they wouldn't dare to spend 5 minutes in the girls bathroom, of course both of them are stubborn and decided they must prove us wrong. Only thing is when they went in Goldberg and Averman locked the door leaving them in there for over an hour. When they finally got out both were in tears". We cracked up again.
We continued reminiscing for just about the rest of the evening until we decided to watch the Nutty professor. After the film ended we both retired to our rooms, to get some much needed sleep. As I lay still the my bed, feeling just a little lonely that there was no Guy laid with me, I made myself a mental note to make sure me and Julie did this more often. I had really enjoyed myself, more than I had in a long time.
The rest of the weekend seemed to fly by. Before I knew it, it was the day the boys were meant to get back. I had spent most of yesterday shopping for wedding dresses with Julie, since the day we had originally arranged was no use to us what so ever as neither of us liked any of the dresses we saw. When returned from our laborious day we sat back and watched another few movies. Luckily we had both seen a dress we both liked and were able to buy it. When Julie had tried it on, she looked amazingly beautiful that it nearly brought a tear to my eyes.
I rolled out of bed and wandered into the kitchen were Julie was sat eating a bow of cereal and reading a morning newspaper. I knew she'd been out jogging already since we didn't have a newspaper delivered and she was dressed in sweats.
"Morning". I said groggily reaching for the crap decaf coffee that we'd had to buy since I became pregnant.
"Hey, you feeling alright, you look a little pale". Julie looked at me curiously.
"Yeah I've just got a bit of a headache that's all". I replied. The truth be known I was feeling awful but it was probably due to all the junk food I'd been eating and I wasn't about to tell Julie and get her all worked up over nothing.
By early afternoon the ill feeling had yet to disappear. I felt hot and clammy and Julie was getting more than curious as to why I felt so warm. It wasn't until I got up to get another drink that I felt my waters break. I froze scared to death that I was going into labour and Guy wasn't around and I wasn't meant to have the baby for another 3 weeks.
"Connie, what's wrong"? Julie stood tense looking at my stiff frame.
"Err, you won't believe this but my waters have just broken". I whispered.
OH GOD what will happen. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!
