"That's the last box!" I said. The movers had just left our apartment.

"Yeah, but we still have to unpack all these boxes!" Tawnie said, sitting on the couch, rubbing her foot. It's no wonder her feet always hurt. I don't think I have ever seen her wear anything but heels!

I sighed. "I guess we should get started then."

Tawnie looked like I had asked her to eat old socks.

"I'm kind of hungry." She said.

"Well, why don't you go pick us up some lunch, while I stay here and unpack?" I suggested.

She looked at me critically. "Your not supposed to be lifting things…" she said eying my huge stomach.

"I'll just unpack small things, like the toaster." I insisted.

"If you sure…"

"Yes! You've been treating me like a porcelain doll! I am not going to break!" I said with a smile.

"Okay…" Tawnie said slipping her shoes back on and standing up. Then she smiled and said, "No knick-knacks or junk stays unless I deem it acceptable." I laughed and Tawnie started to walk to the door. I looked around at the apartment, so far it was just hard wood floors, a burgundy, leather sofa and lots of boxes. But I still couldn't believe Tawnie actually wanted me too move in with her.

"Hey!" I called out to Tawnie, causing her to stop and look at me.

I walked over to her and hugged her.

"I just wanted to thank you for being such a good friend. I mean… I don't know what I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for you, your were there right after he left, you sat with me all through the morning sickness, and you were right by my side when I found out I was having a girl. You were there through everything… You're the best friend a girl could have." I said blinking back tears.

Tawnie's herself had tears in her eyes.

She smiled as I finally released her from my hug.

"You know." She said. "About five years ago I would have taken all that as an insult… But now I think it's the best thing any one ever said to me." She laughed. "And that includes compliments I've given myself." I laughed too. Then Tawnie placed her hand on my stomach. "I am just so anxious to meet the little princess!"

"You think your anxious!" I said laughing.

Tawnie pulled her perfectly manicured hand away, laughing. "Yeah, three more weeks though!"

Then she sighed. "I better go ahead and get some food, before I starve!"

10 minutes later I had pulled out my radio, and was trying to decide if a decorative vase counted as a knick knack, when Baby Come Back came on the radio. I couldn't help singing along.

I had only sung along to one chorus, when I heard a snicker.

Not just any snicker, I recognized this one.

The person who had snickered was someone I never thought I would ever see again, and had come to terms with that.

But he had to complicate things.

He had to come back… and laugh, at me!

I quickly turned around so I was facing the man standing in the doorway.

"Hello Chad." I spat.

Sorry for the wait, I am having some family issues and haven't felt like writing.
