Chapter 2
Lily and Beth sat at a booth at Karen's Café.
"It's so cool how we're both pregnant and our due dates are around the same time," Lily said.
"It sure is," Beth said. "Remember when Haley, Quinn, and Brooke were pregnant at the same time?"
"I sure do," Lily said.
Chuck walked over to them and sat their plates of food down.
"Meat Lover's Breakfast for my beautiful wife," Chuck said. "And egg whites and dry toast for Lily. Enjoy."
Chuck walked off and Beth looked at Lily's plate.
"Dry toast and egg whites?" Beth asked. "Really?"
"I'm reading this pregnancy book and it says that things like dry toast and egg whites are a perfect breakfast for expecting mothers," Lily said.
"Well in my book, it says meat is good," Beth said.
"In the book I'm reading, it says to avoid pork and eat chicken in moderation," Lily said.
"Please don't tell me you're one of those by-the-book people," Beth said.
"Juanita Zanfar is an expert," Lily said.
"Then why haven't I ever heard of her?" Beth asked.
"I see pregnancy didn't effect your bitchy attitude," Lily said.
"Just shut up and eat your dry toast," Beth said.
Brooke arrived and sat down at the booth beside Beth.
"This morning has been awful," Brooke said. "That stupid cat ripped up my designs and then she scratched the hell out of me."
Brooke showed Beth and Lily the scratches on her arms.
"You have a cat?" Lily asked.
"Yeah," Brooke replied. "Chris gave it to us."
"Brooke," Beth said. "Chris gave away that cat because it wouldn't stop hurting him."
"Wait!" Brooke shouted. "Chris knew the cat was evil?"
"Yes," Lily said.
At that moment, Chris walked into the café. Brooke got up and walked over to him.
"I need to talk to you about that cat you gave us!" Brooke shouted.
"Chris Keller is out of here!" Chris shouted before running out the door.
"Chris Keller!" Brooke shouted. "You get back here!"
Brooke ran out the door after Chris.
