Chapter 17:
As the limousine pulled up in front of the community center, it stuck out like a sore thumb. All of the vehicles in the parking lot were shiny new minivans, car seats already buckled in and awaiting the new arrivals. The gang climbed out of the limo and stepped onto the curb just as the heterosexual Lamaze got out. They watched with grins on their faces as the mothers-to-be came out all rosy-cheeked and glowing, (bearing a strange resemblance to Karen and Grace) while the fathers-to-be held their hands and patted their bellies all the way to the minivan.
The four walked inside the building to be met with ugly linoleum and eggshell painted walls. Jack wrinkled his nose and Karen made another satirical comment.
"Oh God. This place smells like…like…like ugly people!" muttered Karen under her breath. "My poor baby is going to get toxic fumes from this place and I don't want an ugly baby in my tummy!" This sounded like a Karen thing to say to everyone else but Karen knew differently. She knew that deep in her heart she didn't care what the baby looked like because it would be hers.
After checking in at the information booth, the gang walked into a warm cozy room. It had nice hardwood floor that was covered in spongy blue mats. The was a wall-sized mirror on the far wall and the rest of the walls were covered in pictures of babies. There was also a TV in one corner and a bucket full of dolls in the other. The room was slowly filling with couples as Jack and Karen seated themselves together on a mat beside Will and Grace. They looked around the room and watched the varieties of people coming in. When all the mats were full, two people walked to the front of the room. The man looked to be in his early 30's. He looked very kind as he looked around the room with twinkling blue eyes. The other person was a lady. She looked about mid-twenties. She looked nice enough but her grey eyes were not quite as welcoming. They motioned for silence and the man started to speak.
"Hi! My name is Jeremy and this is Liza. We will be the instructors for the mixed sexuality Lamaze.

Hey this was going to be a little bit different. I started it at home but I'm at school so I may change it so be prepared. I'm so sorry it takes me so long to update guys. I know I'm awful! I have one quick thing to ask of you guys. May seem a little weird but, hey, do I care? For any of you that are religious (I know I am) if you could find it in your hearts to say a little prayer for me. I'm just dealing with some things right now that are pretty…difficult. If you want a better explanation just give me a shout at I'd be happy to explain. Thanks all, I appreciate you guys!
