CHAPTER 34

~Girl's Night Gone Bad~

It is the middle of the week and Nicole has a Doctor's appointment for her Sonogram. She wants the girls to come with her so they can see the latest pics and development of her little man. Jionni would be meeting her there.

At the office everyone crowds around the table where Nicole is laying down. When the picture pops up, things get real for everyone.

Sam, "How cute is that? Wow, it's so cool."

Deena holds Nicole's hand, "Definitely a little Meatball. It's for real now babe. How do you feel?"

Nicole, "I'm just happy that you all are here to experience this with me. Every time I see him, I can't wait to meet him."

Deena, "It's a feeling you can't describe."

The girls nod and then they have fun when the Doctor points out Lorenzo's wee-wee. Which, by the way is probably the biggest thing on his body at this point according to Nicole. Jionni doesn't say anything but is obviously proud.

Then the laughs come when they realize that he is flipping them off on the picture.

Jenni, "I'm gonna need copies of those. You are kidding me."

Nicole, "He's probably pissed off cuz he's tryin to sleep."

Everything is okay and when Nicole gets dressed and gets her pictures, everyone heads out of the office.

The tension is still in the air with Jionni and Jenni over her comment at Nicole's baby shower. Jionni and Jenni have a little tiff in the office before leaving and it goes out into the hallway by the elevator. No one yells or anything but it just isn't a nice atmosphere between the two and it still leaves things awkward.

-Later On-

The guys decide it would be a good idea to take Jionni out with them for a guys' night just to get to know him better and find out what his intensions are with Nicole and what the future holds for them according to him.

Now, the guys are gone and the girls are at home alone.

Deena is relieved that she may have some alone time to relax after all the emotional drama. However, she is wrong because the girls decide to prank her. They know she freaks out over psychic and supernatural occurrences so Nicole decides to have a lady named Zen Jen come by and do a blessing on the house to make it seem like it's haunted.

All in all it is funny but not to Deena. She is disturbed the whole time and not very happy when the lady tells her that over by her bed there is a presence. She basically says she is not sleeping in there and becomes a mute the rest of the time the lady is there.

The girls reveal after seeing how serious she takes it that it was a prank but Deena is just upset anyway.

Sammi feels bad because she thought it might take Deena's mind off of things but when it doesn't, she feels she should talk to her again. Jenni and Nicole go off to find food for the girls to eat for the night while Sammi and Deena talk outside on the patio.

Sam, "Sorry about the prank. We thought it would make the mood fun tonight."

Deena scoffs, "I'm already on edge. My idea of fun was thinking we were gonna be in PJ's, stuffing our faces, and having wine or cocktails afterwards."

Sammi make a pouty face and then responds seriously.

Sam, "You still haven't decided when you're going to talk to Chris have you?"

Deena shakes her head no, placing her cup down.

Sam, "We've only got next month in the house. Don't wait until the end Dee'. You wanna give him time to process this as soon as possible."

Deena frustrated, "I know Sam…I know. I just don't want to see his face when I tell him."

Sam, "My advice is not to linger on it but just to tell him. Nothing you say before or after him hearing the truth will matter at the time, I'm just being honest. I hate it when people say they love a person before giving them devastating news."

Deena looks at Sammi like she has three heads.

Sam, "I'm sorry Dee' but it's true. I'm just tryin to prepare you."

Deena goes quiet and then she nods. This whole thing is eating her up inside because she hasn't spoken with Chris since they left the club and she hasn't bothered to call him, which is a major issue. He has to know something is up and she just needs to come out with it like Sammi said.

The timing just needs to be right, so things don't blow up like last summer at the Shore House.
