Dernier Cri, punctuation, fine. But spelling, I'm a darn good speller so I'm guessing it may be the difference between english and american spellings or something because if I'm unsure how to spell a word, I look it up. Maybe, typo. Thanks for the rest of the great reviews :)! Ehmagawd, I said a few hours and it wasn't! Sorry, I've been busy! But I have all weekend to write up some chapters so yeah, sorry! I'm watching Gossip Girl as I write some of this, woo, love Gossip Girl! Does anyone else watch it? I think I have maths homework...who cares? I can do it in registration or something! REBEL!

The Block Estate
Main House

11:04 A.M.
'Massie, we're leaving for the scan! If you want to come, be downstairs in the next two minutes!' Kendra's voice rang into Massie's room through the little white box on the wall.
Massie quickly checked her outfit in the mirror. It was a hot day so she had picked an appropriate outfit of white twill shorts, a white tank under a purple vest, and green sandals. But something was missing. She frantically brushed her fingers through her hair as she contemplated what she had done wrong with her outfit.
'Ah!' She said, as she realised her fault.
She rushed into her closet, and searched for her hair accessories box. She eventually found it, and quickly rifled through it, looking for her saviour. She clapped her hands excitedly as she pulled out her hair clip. Attached to it was a green bow with purple polka dots. She slid it into her hair and practically ran out of her room.
Antenatal Clinic
Waiting Room
Saturday, May 16th
11:36 A.M.
'I feel so bad. I wouldn't have gone out with Cam if I'd have known about Claire.' Emma said.
She had popped into the clinic, sheer fluke, to check on her Aunt's appointment. Massie had called her over.
'Lucky, I came. I wasn't going to come, actually but my Aunt can barely move, she's got so big.' Emma said, smiling. 'But seriously, I would never have got with Cam if I knew, he never said a thing.'
'I know. It's not your fault. Claire is over him. I think. She's dating another boy, I just wanted to check.' Massie said.
'So that was the reason he broke up with me?' Emma asked.
Massie nodded.
'Ugh, the slimeball. He said to me that he thought our relationship wasn't going anywhere, and he probably wouldn't see me again, so we might as well end it before either of us gets too attached.'
'He said that?' Massie asked. 'He is a slimeball.'
'Poor Claire. Would you tell her I'm sorry?' Emma asked.
'Sure. I'm sure she'd like to meet you.' Massie said.
'To hit me?' Emma asked, but she smiled.
Massie giggled.
'No, Claire wouldn't do that, she's not a bitch really, but seriously I think we should all get together sometimes.' Massie said. She felt good in herself. Normally, she would have called Emma, with her Target clothing and chewed nails, an LBR but they had actually bonded. All thanks to an accusatory woman at her mother's first appointment. And Cam.
'All?' Emma asked, nervously. Everybody had heard of Massie and her group of friends. Including Emma.
'Sure. They'll love you.' Massie said.
'They won't like me at all. I'm nothing like them, they shop at BCBG, I shop at Target. They wear Jimmy Choo's, I wear Converse and Keds.'
'Trust me, if I like you, they will. And Claire has Target clothing, and loves Keds.' Massie said.
'I'm not sure.' Emma said, still uncertain.
'If you'd prefer it, it could just be Claire, you and me. We could go to Starbucks or something.' Massie said. She really wanted Claire and Emma to meet up.
'Ok. You talked me into it, plus I'd love to meet Claire and say sorry. Do you want my number?' Emma asked.
'Sure.'
Massie pulled out her own phone and swapped with Emma so they could program their numbers into each other's cell.
'I'd better get going. Aunt Marie is probably going out of her mind with worry. Not about me, about her appointment of course.' Emma said, giggling. She snapped Massie's phone shut and handed it back.
'Ok, bye then. I'll text you with the arrangements, shall I?' Massie asked.
'Sure.'
They both stood up and hugged.
'I'll see you, whenever, Massie. Good luck with your pregnancy!' She said to Kendra before leaving the clinic.
'She seems nice.' Kendra said.
'Yeah, she is.' Massie said, sitting back down.
'I'm glad to see you are giving people, who don't wear designer clothing, a chance.'
'I gave Claire a chance, didn't I?'
'Only because you were living, practically, with her and because she saved you from your father's and Jay's rendition of '99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall.'
William chuckled.
'Maybe because of that. I do like her, you know.'
'I know, because you gave her a chance. That's all I mean.'
The family ceased to talk until they were called for their appointment.
The Block Estate
The iPad
Saturday, May 16th
12:42 P.M.
'Is everybody here?' Massie asked.
'Given.' Alicia said.
'Yup.' Claire said.
'Present.' Kristen said.
'Here.' Dylan burped.
'Ok, so we know the genders of the babies.' Massie said. She listened to her BFF's squeal down the phone.
'Ehmagawd, what are they?' Alicia asked, excitedly.
'A boy and a girl!!' Massie shrieked.
She listened to them squeal again.
'That is so perfect! You get one of each!' Dylan said.
'Duh!' Kristen sighed.
'What I mean is, she doesn't have to be one of three girls, or the only girl in her family. She's going to get a brother and a sister.' Dylan said, trying to explain herself.
'I know what you mean.' Claire said.
'Plus, you don't have to just look at clothes for one gender. Like if you have one baby, a girl say, and you see a gorgeous boy's outfit, you can't get it. But YOU CAN!' Alicia said, giggling.
'I know, just think of the fun, we're going to have decorating the nurseries.' Massie said.
'I know!' Kristen squealed.
'Where are the nurseries going?' Claire asked.
'Originally, because Inez has the bedroom downstairs, if they were the same gender, they were going to share a room, if they were different, one was going to have the attic room and the other, the room next to mine but Mom's decided to split the room next to mine in two, with a door in between, so she can get to them both easily.'
'Won't the rooms be small?' Dylan asked.
'No, the room next door is only a tiny bit smaller than mine. The bedroom's will still be pretty big. Plus, they won't care, they're only babies.'
'What about when they're older?' Alicia asked.
'Boy in the attic. Next door's room turned back into one for the girl.'
'Have your mom and dad thought of names?' Claire asked.
'They said that because I took the news so well, they're going to let us decide on some suitable names. If they agree to them, of course. We'll have a meeting tomorrow, by the pool at 1 P.M. Be there, or...don't get to pick a name.' Massie said.
The girls giggled.
'Ok, I have to go now. I'm going to go to the stables to visit Brownie. I haven't seen her for a few weeks, and I feel bad because I haven't given her any star shaped carrots.'
Claire giggled.
'Before you go, my mom said, would I be able to start some lessons there? She thinks I should start a new hobby as I'm on my computer too much.' Claire asked.
'I can check for you. Why don't you come today? You'll have to fill in some forms. That's if they have any places, but I think someone quit last week, so you may be in with a chance.'
'Ok.' Claire said.
'Come round now. Bye guys.' She snapped her phone shut and went to look out of her window. She could clearly see Claire in her room. Claire looked up, so Massie waved. Claire waved back, then left her room.
Yeah, rubbish chapter really, but we found out the genders of the babies. Next chapter, names. I have some in mind for the girl, just need some for the boy, I want unusual ones like Jet or Ash, nothing common really. ALDI - Spend A Little, Live A Lot. Sorry, advert. So yeah, review, if you please!
