They all finished their dinner and continued working upstairs, Erica went to her room and personally did her room. David went home with the Alyssa after eating, Brenda insisted that he should go home and get some rest since he has to work tomorrow. Brenda and Donna works at the master's bedroom while Kelly, Val and Dylan works on the other rooms. Its almost midnight when they finished everything. They were all exhausted and wanted to rest.. they wee all in the living room.
"hey dons I'll drive you home.." Brenda offered
"no bren I'll drive Donna you and Erica should head home straight and get some rest" Val said
"I agree…" Donna added
"no Val you girls head home I'll go drive Donna…" Dylan said "end of discussion.." Dylan added
"ok..but can we rest a little while I kinda feel tired.." Brenda said looking at Donna..
"hey do you need anything?" Donna asked
"no..im ok..just a little tired..but you guys can go home now…thanks for the help.." she said looking at Kelly, Dylan and Donna
"no..i kinda wanted to stay for a while too… its so relaxing here.." Kelly said
"hey squirt can I barrow pen and paper?" Brenda asked
"sure.." Erica answered as she get her notebook and pen from her bag "here.."
Brenda started to write something at the paper, she listed things that they still needed for the house. " I think this will be all and were set..i wanna finish everything before Saturday.."
"so we have two days.." Dylan said "I think we'll pull it through, Andrea said she'll come by on Saturday.."
"that's great..oh shoot..i forgot Hannah.. I told her we'll visit grandma rose this weekend.."
"its ok bren she'll understand…and I'm sure she's to occupied practicing for your wedding.." Donna said
"yeah I think so too.." Brenda said yawning
"ok that's it girls…you look all exhausted and tired… so get on your feet and head home…now!!" Dylan said
The girls rolled their eyes and reluctantly followed Dylan. "wait here guys I'll double check the locks.." Dylan said and he runs towards the house again. "ok all set.." he said when he returned
"hey bren I'll go with you and Val tomorrow.. and don't argue.." Dylan said "drive safe bren..and you too Erica.."
Brenda didn't want to argue with him, she knew him to well and she knew he sensed that she's keeping something from him.
"ok if you say so…pick us up?"
"sure be there around 10.."
"hey Kelly thanks again..and I know your busy so if you got other things to do were ok here..ok? " Brenda said hugging Kelly
"its ok..i'll see my schedule for tomorrow and if I have time I'll stop by here.." Kelly said
"dons see yah tom…thanks for everything…" Brenda said hugging Donna
"hey you sure your ok?" she whispered "yeah I'm ok…don't worry.." Brenda whispered back
"ok..bye guys…" Val said
"bye.." everybody said to everyone
They all went home, head straight to their rooms and fell asleep the moment their back touched the bed. Brenda woke up first knowing that Erica has a 8:00 am class, she prepared breakfast for Erica, she was sick that morning but she's glad that Erica was still asleep when she threw up or she'll be answering 20 questions in a minute. Erica went down closely followed by Valerie.
"morning sis.." Brenda said cheerfully
"morning.." Val and Erica greeted her
"so are we ready for another tiring day?" Val asked jokingly
"I don't know I'm just glad that Dylan will go with us..i mean I easily get tired lately and I feel safer when he's around he's the next best thing after Bane and Brandon.." she received a glare from her two girl friends "I mean when it comes to my guy friends"
"yeah…we know.." Val said
"but you know I don't know if its just me but I think Kelly was avoiding me or what… I know how Kelly thinks… Dylan was always with me since Bane left, I told Dylan I'm ok with you guys and Donna but he wouldn't give up, he told me that he promised Bane and that he's just doing his bestfriend duty.. but I don't wanna cause any trouble between him and Kelly…"
"I did noticed it Brenda when you got home late with Val and Donna? When they showed up here, they were kinda arguing on why would Dylan wanted to know everything you're doing…" Erica said
"yeah I noticed it too when I told them Id walk them out…" Brenda said
"hey don't mind Kelly…its bad for.." Val trailed off "I mean it'll add to your stress..i mean you have the house to think of, your wedding and to top that all you're still missing Bane…so don't let her stress you more…"
"yeah I guess your right…" Brenda said
"hey as much as I would like to stay with you here, I have to go now or I'll be late…" Erica said sipping her coffee
"don't worry about us..go and have fun..say hi to Andy for us…" Brenda said
"ok…bye…" Erica said then she headed out
"so Brenda how are you really feeling now that were alone?" Valerie asked
"I felt so tired Val…I mean I've had enough sleep but I felt like I haven't slept a wink at all.. but the good thing is that I have minimal morning sickness compare to what I've read or seen on tv..my cravings are not that bad too..i just want mega burger and water melon…aside from that I think I'm ok…"
"well, remember you have me and Donna, tell us everything ok? And besides we only have 2 days before Bane arrives so you don't have to keep it from anybody then.."
"yeah…and I can't wait to tell Bane… he called me last night and he said he's almost done with everything else…"
"that's great.. we still have 2 hours before Dylan came you go and get some rest you'll need it…I'll take care of this.." Valerie said pointing on the dishes
"ok..thanks Val…" then she headed to her room, she couldn't sleep but she wanted to just lay there and relax. After an hour, she went down and found Val at the living room watching tv
"hey.." she greeted
"why are you up? Can't sleep?" Brenda nodded "figured…come here..lets wait for dy…
"wait no more girls I'm here!!" Dylan cut her off
"its past 9 Dylan I thought you'll pick up at 10?' Val asked
"well plan changed..and I brought you girls your favorites!!" Dylan said revealing the bags he's carrying "tadda!! Mega burgers and water melon… and a bonus butter peacun ice cream!!"
Brenda and Valerie looked at each other could Dylan possibly knew that Brenda is pregnant? "hey come on… lets eat all of this we need all the energy we could get…" he headed to the kitchen
Val and Brenda followed him, still curious on Dylan's action. "thanks Dylan.." Brenda said as she sits, Dylan placed a plate and a fork in front of her, then he went to the counter and chop the water melon, he get bowls and spoon for ice cream too..
"here all set…now come on eat…" Dylan said to Val and Brenda
Brenda put a slice of water melon at her ice cream carefully so that Dylan wouldn't notice it, she loves it and she's been craving for it since yesterday. Dylan saw it but didn't bother to ask her. after they all finished everything's Dylan brought, they talk for a while and headed to the mall.
"I've contacted my friend bren..if you remember joseph, he's a manager in an appliance store, he told me they have top of the lines appliances and they probably have anything you need…so I told him I'll bring you there.." Dylan said while driving, Brenda was on the passenger seat while Valerie is at the back.
"yeah I remember him…and that's great Dylan…at least we don't have to go from one store to another…" Brenda said
When they arrived at the store Joseph was waiting for them at the door "hey Dylan…" joseph called
"hey buddy.." they shook hands "do you remember Brenda?"
"of course…hi bren.." joseph said extending his hand to shake hands with Brenda
Brenda took it and said "hi joseph..its been a while.."
"yeah I know.." joseph said
"and this is Valerie…" Dylan said "Val this is joseph.." the two shook hands
"so shall we start?" joseph said "and I promise I'll have it all deliver this afternoon…"
"that'll be great joseph..thanks.." Brenda said
They started shopping for the kitchen, mircrowave, juice maker, coffee maker rice cooker, refrigerator and anything that Brenda had on her list. Its was pretty easy because as Dylan said they had everything she needed there. Next they have the entertainment appliances, tv, dvd player, surround system, media com, components she even bought X-box because both Bane and her love playing it. After getting everything in her list she they went to pay everything, joseph told her to pick 2 items as her give aways since she bought too many items from the store. She thought of Hannah and picks a media com and a laptop.
"she'll love it bren…" Valerie said
"thought so…" Brenda answered
"so I'll have it all deliver by..uhmmm lets see.." joseph check his watch "is 4:00 o'clock good?"
"yeah that's great… thanks for everything joseph…" Brenda said
"no thank you…you just gave us our 5 days quota…" joseph said laughing
"well its all worth it..and plus you told me that I'll have a lifetime guarantee right?" Brenda said jokingly
"err..uhhhmm sure…" joseph said not really sure if he said that
"I'm just kidding..well we have to go now joseph we still need to get few things…"
"ok..see yah round guys…" he shook hands with Dylan "bye Val..see yah around.." Val smiled at him then Dylan, Val and Brenda headed out of the store
"he check you out Val…" Brenda teased
"shut up Brenda.. he's just being nice to his costumers…"
"I don't think so Val…I've know joseph ever since we were kids…and I think he's attracted to you.." Dylan said siding with Brenda
"yea right..whatever… come on we still have lots to buy…"
