-Ashley's POV-
"Mom look" The little guy on Shay's arm was waving a paper. He looked like a young male version of Shay or more like a young version of Shay's baby brother Sean.
"Hey buddy. This looks good." I kissed his forehead once Shay placed him down. Shay placed a lingering kiss on my lips before rubbing my bulging belly.
"How's my little munchkin?" She says smiling
"She's doing well but kicks from time to time. I really feel bloated" I said pouting gesturing at my body.
"She'll be born in a few months don't worry. I've been there remember? It's all worth it in the end babe" Shay reassures me and I close my eyes as she kisses me once again.
My eyes open in shock and I could feel my body doused in sweat. I turn to look at Shay and she was serenely sleeping. I let out a sigh of relief. It's just a dream. I say to myself. I must have fallen asleep in the middle of my conversation with Shay. I checked the time and it was just around 3 am so I went back to sleep again.
I sang along with the song playing while I was preparing dinner for Shay and me. She walks in with a tired face.
"Long day? I have the perfect gourmet to rub it off" I tell her cheerfully. She observes me for a while and pulls out something from her bag.
"I'm pregnant" She places a sonogram on top of the counter
"Pregnant?" I was in between being happy and confused.
"Ryan's the father. We're going to raise our child together. I'm sorry Ashley. You need to move out" She says coldly without looking at me. Out of nowhere he walks in and locks hand with Shay and they share a passionate kiss. I froze on my place surprised by the sudden turnout of events. Not a minute more my vision wiped out.
I shot right straight up from the bed when I woke up from the terrible dream. I was sweatier this time. Shay stirred with my sudden reaction but calmed when I slowly brushed her hair. It has been more than obvious to me that Shay's random question had bothered me big time. Small light shine through the curtains and I went out of bed not wanting to have more nightmares; the last one was a nightmare and the first one was just well some weird dream.
I changed for a decent clothing and went down to the kitchen and tried to put two and two together for breakfast. After 30 minutes of planning I decided to make white omelets and French toast and also made a mix of apple, cucumbers and some green stuffs on the juicer. I placed everything on the tray and admired the beauty of my hard work before bringing it upstairs for Shay.
"Breakfast in bed" I whispered to Shay's ear before waking my sleeping beauty with my kiss.
"You're up early. You sick or something?" She murmured sleepily and adjusted herself in her pillow. She extended her arm pretending to check on me and I playfully slapped it.
"Get up sleepyhead. This breakfast is to die for" I know that it was against her will but she change herself to a sleeping position rubbing her eyes.
"I might actually die from eating this" She teases me.
"Whatever. You have to get used to this anyway. Come on open up" I fed her a small amount of omelet.
"It isn't that bad" She says happily and takes the fork from me so she could take bigger servings from what I prepared. "What are you wearing tonight babe?"
"Can I wear nothing?" I reply innocently and she gave me a 'are-you-serious ' look. "It's a surprise" I tell her trying to cover up for whatever I forgot.
"You forgot about my premier tonight didn't you?" She narrows her eyes at me and I try my best not to act surprised because damn it I did forgot about it.
"Of course not! I've prepared something extraordinary for you" I gave her a quick peck before I went to my side of the bed to grab my phone on the nightstand. "I need to go back to my place and finish packing so I could finally move in here and I'm meeting Troian today so I'll see you tonight okay?"
"You're my date" she said and continued eating breakfast and I left her, soon to be our, house.
I took a very quick shower and called Troian, it took her a while but she picked up.
"Troi, I need your help" I said once she answered
"Uhm Ashley can I call you back I'm kind of in the middle of something" She says out of breath it was then that I realized I called on a bad time
"Are you…Oh God I'm so sorry. Bye" I hanged up instantly. It was so awkward to talk to your best friend when she's in the middle of the process of making her own offspring. She and Patrick have been working on it for a couple of months now. I didn't know who I could ask for help; Lucy is on her honeymoon and Troian is…busy and I couldn't get hold of Janel. I couldn't ask the guys' help since this was kind of a girl thing. I had no other choice but to turn to my last resort, Sasha.
I found the spare key under the mat and unlocked her door. I tried calling her first but she wasn't answering. Her boyfriend was out of state so I know I wouldn't walk in on them in the middle of doing the act. I barged in to room and there was the youngest of us sleeping like a log.
"Squasha. Hey. Wake up" I shook her not so lightly
"Ashley?" She opened one eye to look at the person disturbing her beauty rest
"I need your help" I tell her straight to the point
"How did you even get inside?" She closed her again. I didn't really want to wake her up much more ask her help but I didn't have a choice. Since she was the youngest among all of us we all see her as a baby sister and my dilemma right now is supposed to be shared with girls on my age or older than me.
"I found the spare key under your mat. You should move it somewhere else" I explained to her
"Let me guess you forgot about Shay's premier gala" My eyes widened. Was I that predictable? She sat up looking like a zombie. "Don't mind the look. I'll just take a shower and we'll get moving but you're buying me breakfast." She gets up and heads for the shower.
-Sasha's POV-
As much as I wanted to sleep I got out of bed to help Ashley. I always shipped her and Shay even though I had a little girl crush on Shay back then. Honestly I was kind of feeling sullen to all of the girls. Shay and Ashley were always spending time with each other, Lucy was busy planning her wedding and now she's on her honeymoon with Ian and Troian is trying to make a family. Janel and I were the only one left without actual binds. Yeah we both have boyfriends that we love so much but it kind of feels bad to be left out by the other girls. It's just Janel and me going shopping and having our girls' day out when it used to be the 6 of us. I pondered over my thoughts and Ashley disturbed me pounding over my door.
"Sasha are you done?" She says impatiently.
"Almost!" I tell her and I could hear her retreating back to the bed.
I changed as fast as I could and Ashley and I headed out.
"If you haven't forgot about Shay's premier you wouldn't hangout with me" I said like a child being deprived of the lollipop
"Awwww. Are you mad at us?" Ashley asked with a cooing tone. I hate it when someone does that.
"Not really. You guys don't hangout with us just as much as you used to do before. It's just me and Janel now. Not that I'm complaining but I miss you, you know" I tell Ashley honestly.
"Don't worry Sash I promise we'll go out and shop and have our nails and hair done maybe a body massage or whatever you like to do. I'll make sure that all the girls would be there. Promise." She says seriously. Even though I'm not the 14 year old girl they used to work with they still see me that way. They still leave me out of the explicit stuffs and reprimand me when we drink. They're still as protective as ever.
"Don't make a promise you can't make. You don't have to do it to make it up to me for this." I tell her in a sad tone.
"Hey I'm not doing it to make up for this favor. I want to do it. I missed you Squasha. You'll always be my little sister, our little sister." Ashley says and I smile at her gratefully.
We stopped at a boutique where Ashley bought a stunning black dress she would wear for later. Our next stop was at a flower shop. She ordered two sets of flowers, a bouquet that she would give to Shay on the red carpet and the other set is to be delivered to their house. She had no idea on what else to do for Shay so I suggested that she give her something as a token for Shay and to surprise her even more she does something crazy cheesy and romantic. When we were sure everything was set she dropped me at my place to prepare and she went to her place to do the same.
-Shay's POV-
Ashley texted me that she would meet me at the event center where the premier would take place. I knew she forgot about my event but didn't say a word to it. I completely understood why. I received a bouquet of flowers while I was preparing myself for the big night.
I went out of the limo that was hired by the production for me. Ashley was already waiting for me there. She looked stunning in her dress and impressively punctual.
"You're such a goddess" She compliments me once I reached her. She gave me a quick peck and we both smiled at the cameras flashing on us.
"So are you" I whispered on her ear. We walked in and to my surprise there were people giving me roses as we stepped in closer inside. To overwhelm me even more there was a big banner congratulating me inside. "You did all these?" I ask her in awe. She nodded and right at that second I forgot who were around and kissed her lovingly.
When the event finished we went home to our place and changed on our pajamas. I slammed my body to the bed regretting it afterwards. My head hit a hard box under my pillow. I pulled it out and opened it. Inside was a vintage music box that I've always wanted.
"You like it?" Ashley asks me as I examined the music box like a child.
"I love it. Thank you Ashley" I jumped on her and hugged her tightly. "But you could placed it somewhere else. Seriously my head hurts" she just laughed at me and settled herself on the bed.
"I had Sasha's help. Babe I think we need to make something for Sasha not just the two of us but the other girls too and Also with Janel too. We somehow left them out there. Maybe we could throw a surprise party?" Knowing Ashley her question wasn't a suggestion but a plan to implement.
"Let's do it" I gave her a good night kiss before wrapping my long arms around her and drifting off to sleep.
