I told you I'd get through heaps of chapters now. Thankyou for reviewing. I really appreciate it. I have started a Harry Potter fic so I'm dividing my time between the two. I promise to make this chapter heaps longer than the others. Enough rambling.
Chapter 11
Bridget was stuffed. It was now her fifth aerobics class and she was growing more tired as it went.
"At least," she thought, "She had Eric to welcome her home every night."
She had only expected him to come once but she was pleasantly surprised when she found Eric waiting outside the motel every afternoon with a present for her.
Looking over to her left, she saw Lena doubled over. She looked in pain. Bridget shrugged it off it was probably nothing. After the class, they all changed into decent clothing. They chatted through their teas and then they all went home. Bridget saw Eric waiting there with his arms wide open, smiling and holding a box of Pop-Tarts.
"What a man" she thought, "He's smiling and he's holding food and to top it off he is so hot."
Eric hugged her when she drew nearer then presented her with the food. Then he took her mail out of his back pocket and handed that to her as well. She smiled gratefully and welcomed him in. Then she put the mail on her table, but there was one letter she could not ignore. She opened it quickly as Eric dumped the rest of the food he had bought on her bench. After reading the letter she smiled and said, "My kids are coming down today!"
Eric appeared back at her side.
"Oh. Can I come with you too?" he asked sweetly.
"Well sure!" she said, taken aback. She did not know that he would want to see her kids. She looked at him and he gave her a sweet grin back.
Then he said "Lucky we bought loads of food, we're gonna need it!"
Carmen was enjoying her classes. Well she wasn't really enjoying them but she was enjoying saving Gildas. She hadn't thought about her dad and nor did she wish to. She and Win were going out to a nice Italian restaurant for the night. She was determined to ignore her father and have a good time. Now she stood in front to the mirror preening herself when Win came in.
"Ready bun?" he asked taking in her beautiful appearance. The great thing about Win was that it didn't matter to him whether she was pregnant or not, she was still gorgeous in his eyes.
"Yep!" she said brightly. So she took her husbands arm and let him lead her to the car. She had a great night with Win and she had the chance to tell him everything that had happened in the time he was away. When they finally got the chance to snuggle into their bed she remembered that tomorrow was the Gildas filming day.
"Oh well" she thought," She could think about it in the morning.
Tibby prepared all the film for the documentary tomorrow. Then she fussed about all the other equipment and then she called her PA and fussed about his stuff and she carried on until Katherine came in at 1 am telling her to shut up and go to bed. She sheepishly returned to her bed and tried picturing what tomorrow would be like. "No!" she told her self "You need to get sleep"
Tibby happily obliged and thought no more.
The next morning she got up groggily. Then she slowly chewed on the burnt toast that tasted like carpet and then decided she should begin getting ready. She dragged herself into her uniform and picked up her stuff and left. At Gildas, she was rewarded with a caffeine fix. Now awake Tibby began set-up. The journalist was get preened and lathered in makeup. The lighting guys were attempting to work out what to do.
"Idiots" she thought.
Then she finally made sure that the cameras were working and then she just sat and watched the journalist practice her lines. Then as ten am came around the women started arriving. She spotted her friends and waved.
"It's Showtime!" she thought.
Lena walked into Gildas. She was having one of those days. She was grumpy and she hated everything except her friends, her mom, and her husband. She hated everything else even down to the very Lycra she wore. She trudged up the stairs and began her stretches. She hated the thought that people were going to watch her on TV and then probably laugh. What if Gildas wasn't saved? What if them jumping round like idiots went to nothing? Before Lena could answer these questions she heard the bouncy music start. She pulled herself in line with her friends. Then the cameras started rolling. Off they went. Bouncing, starjumping, easy walking. She put on a happy smile and kept going. All through it, she wished she were in bed. It would have been so nice just to curl up. Finally, an hour later she and her friends walked out of Gildas. Instead of going to the coffee shop, she asked, "You guys go ahead. I'll see you later." And she walked off. At home, she felt comfortable. Until, suddenly…
"Αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης για" "Aetos, I think my waters have broken!"
Aetos looked positivley terrified. He had no idea what to do.
"Αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης για Δεν βρέθηκαν λέξεις." "Take me to the hospital. Please."
Aetos nodded and took Ari's keys off the bench. He lifted his wife gently off the couch and into the car. He put the key in the ignition and they were off to the hospital.
"Hey, What was up with Lenny today" Bridget asked casually as she sipped at her lemonade.
"Beats me. She was probably tired." Carmen said wiping the crumbs of her cookie of her lap.
The mood was still bright and happy at the coffe shop and the two womem weren't worried about their friend.
"Look, Carma, I had better be going. Eric's taking care of the kids. I don't want to leave him with the brats for to long!" Bridget said standing and reaching for her handbag.
"Yeah you're right I really ought to go back home to Win. I'm dog-tired."
Just as the two were about to leave the shop Carmens cell phone rang "Hi ….. Lena….Yeah….She's WHAT!"
