Chapter 3 I think!??

"We're engaged!" Carmen screamed!

"Ehmagod! Congrats!" Jessica said jumping up, well more like lifted herself up, and ran over to Carmen enveloping her in a hug.

There was a chourus of "good for you" and "congratulations" through out the room from all the guys. Danny made some kind of gurgling or cooing noise.

"Oh, I think he's trying to say congratulations guys!" Pony said in a cutesy voice that people use with babies.

Dally went up to Johnny, shook his hand and said, "Welcome to the club! We meet every Thursday night to play poker and get away from the wives!"

"Please stop talking!" Jessica told him.

"Okay." Could he be any more whipped.

Two-Bit laughed and said "Whippaa!" making a laso motion with his hand.

"What was that?" I asked.

"You know, he's whipped. Whippaa!"

"No, no..." I started but Jess cut me off, "Yeah, he's not whipped."

"Actually he is, sorry Dally, but I was saying it's not whippaa it's wicchhh!"

"Hmmmmmm... yeahhhhh...no!" Two-Bit said.

"Whatever!"

"Jesus, Soda be such a little girl!" Jessica scolded me.

"Shu..." I started to say but didn't think it was a good idea considering she's not very nice when she's pregnant. She could kick my ass right now. Yeah, we learned that the hard way last time. Two-Bit said "God, you're fat!" He was just joking, but she sent him to the hospital with a broken nose.

"Good idea!" Jessica said.

"How do you live with this Dally?" Steve asked jokingly, but somewhat serious.

Dally came up behind Jess and hugged her as he said, "I don't know, I guess I love her or something!"

"Yeah, something like that!" Jessica said. "So, Carmen, Johnny! We need wine or something or we need to celebrate! To bad I can't drink," her face fell.

"Yippee," I mumbeled under my breath. I took Danny from Pony cause he was getting fussy and gave him to Dally.

"Ohhh, lets go out! Unless, you guys want to be alone!" Jessica said suggestively.

"No, lets do something!" Johnny said. He looked at Dally holding Danny and said, "A kid friendly place of course!"

"Well, what are we gonna do? I think the only place where we can take a baby and drink and still have fun would be... here," Carmen said.

"Why don't me and Jess go get us something at the grocery store and we can bring it back here to drink?" I suggested. Getting drunk sounded like a very good option right now.

"Oh, lets go!" Jessica said.

"You still totally love her, don't you Soda?" Jess asked me as soon as we got in the car and were on our way down the road.

I just sighed heavly.

"I take that as a yes. Hon, I'm sorry to be the one who has to tell you this, but she's happy with Johnny, she's moved on and you have to too."

"A little harsh don't you think Jess?"

"Direct, honest, not harsh. You're not her lobster, Johnny is."

"What do you mean?" I asked knowing I was in for a classic Jessica.

"Well, lobsters mate for life, and when they get old they walk around holding hands, well really claws for them, but that's besides the point! The point is is that Johnny's her lobster. You need to find yours."

"That's pretty much the worst analogy I've ever heard!"

"Did it get my point across?"

"Loud and clear."

"Then it worked. Oh, we're here!"

We went in and found the liquor isle and we were there for a while waiting for Jessica to figure out what she wanted to buy. Everything sounded really good to her, even though she couldn't drink it, well really I think that's why everything sounded so good to her. I just stood there in silence, thinking about what she has said in the car.

Was my "lobster" really out there somewhere? And if she was, would I ever find her? I'm starting to think that soul mates don't really exist.
