Everything Has A Consequence. No Pain, No Gain
MichaelNeela, Think 1 month after the wedding.
I don't own anything.
Chapter 10 When I Didn't Think You Would Amaze Me
Neela could no longer walk through the door, only trip and totter with her arms sagging with grocery bags. As she came in on the chilly night of snow flurries and set down her groceries in the new house she was overly aware that everything was way too quiet. As she set down the groceries she heard a rustle in the back rooms and looked up in surprise. Suddenly all of her co-workers were running towards her, carrying baby toys and clapping and singing. Michael led them over to her and wrapped her in a huge hug. Neela could not stop grinning and laughing. She was so surprised, a baby shower and all her friends…
The party continued late into the night, with card games, and presents, and laughter. Everyone thanked the heavens for a slow night in the ER, only a handful of them were called back to work! Neela received tons of adorable (to Abby they were ridiculous) baby hats and 'footie' pajamas, very hilarious, and her share of books and bedding.
As her surprise guests left Abby stayed, pregnant herself. Oh, it was so late, but no matter how much Neela insisted Abby leave Abby insisted that she stay. Abby sat on the end of the couch and Neela lay across the rest. The TV was off and the two sat talking quietly about nothing in particular. Neela was quiet and tired, she let Abby play with her hair and relax her. Mike was already in bed. Eventually the subject came to baby names. Neela was left very much dumbfounded and Abby did not have much either. When they grew tired of the subject Neela got to telling Abby that she wanted to have the twins vaginally, and a C section if something goes wrong. Abby was quick to assure her, as Mike had that nothing would.
When Abby finally up and left it was 5 in the morning. Neela groaned and groped for moments after but could not bring herself off the couch. She was too tired. So she just laid there until she fell asleep with one of those stupid, overrated cooking shows. She had always wondered if Kerry watched them….
