Chapter 6
The next day, Amanda, Kim and Tony go to the airport to pick up Scott Parish, Callie Anderson and Justina Carpenter. Soon, they see them leaving security with their bags and the three-important people in Amanda and Tony's lives come up to them. They say hello to each other and Tony offers to take their bags for them and Amanda and Kim help too. After going outside the airport, Tony pulls up the car and the family puts their friends' bags in the trunk of his car and everyone goes in the car and Tony starts driving to his house.
"Sorry we came so late. Things have been busy at the hospital." Callie and Scott say.
"It's okay. We bought pink dresses for my bachelorette party." Amanda replies.
Callie and Justina tell Amanda that they bought a lace pink dress before coming to New York. A few minutes later, they arrive at Tony's house and they take their bags inside the house. Tony and Christina show Callie, Scott and Justina to where they're going to sleep. Callie goes into the bedroom that would have been Amanda's bedroom and she finds room to put her things in. Justina goes into the bedroom that would have been Kim's bedroom and she finds room to put her things in. Scott finds everything okay in the guest room and he finds room to put his things in. Soon, they go into the kitchen where they talk about Amanda's bachelorette party.
"So, Amanda, what's going on with the party?" Callie asks.
"I don't know where we're going because Liv and my two other friends planned the party. All I know is that we're going to dinner and a show. There might be singing and dancing." Amanda replies.
Soon, Amanda and Kim have to get going and they say goodbye to everyone at their father's house. They grab their things and they leave the house. Amanda and Kim get in the car and they start driving. They decide to drive to the station to discuss what to do before Amanda's bachelorette party. A few minutes later, they arrive at the station and they sit at her desk trying to figure out what to do before the party. Bella Carisi and Reese come up to Kim and Amanda who's at her desk finding things to do before her bachelorette party.
"Hi, Amanda. What's happening?" Bella asks.
"Kim and I are finding things to do before my bachelorette party." Amanda responds.
"Let's do some yoga tomorrow. I go to The Willow Pilates and Yoga and it relaxes me. You guys should come with me tomorrow." Reese suggests.
Olivia walks into the squad room to see Reese, Amanda, Kim and Bella at Amanda's desk looking up The Willow Pilates and Yoga. She sees that they're on a computer taking a look at the yoga place and decide to check it out. Amanda and Kim say that they would like to try the yoga class to relax them. Reese calls the place and she speaks to her yoga instructor who says that she can bring a few friends to her yoga class.
"Good news. You guys can come to my yoga class with me tomorrow." Reese says.
"We appreciate you taking the time to call your yoga instructor about bring us to your yoga class, Reese." Olivia replies.
Soon, Olivia goes into her office while the girls go into the break room to have some girl chat. They talk about boys and relationships and they're each happy in the relationships that they're in. Kim mentions that happy relationships are the best and her new relationship is the best relationship is better than her last relationship.
"So, Reese, what's new with you and Carisi?" Amanda asks.
"It's going good. We have a lot of fun when we do things together." Reese responds.
Reese tells Amanda, Kim and Bella that she and Carisi do a lot of fun things together. She says that they go out to eat, go to the mall, the movies, they go to the mall and they do other fun things together. Amanda, Kim and Bella tell Reese that they do the same things with Declan, Lorenzo and Tommy.
"Is the sex any good?" Kim asks.
"I don't know. We haven't done it yet, but he has slept over at my house twice." Reese replies.
"More than four dates and two sleepovers at your house and no sex?" Amanda asks Reese.
"No sex yet. We want to wait until I'm ready." Reese responds.
Kim says that she has something on her mind and Amanda, Reese and Bella ask her what's on her mind. Amanda says that Kim has been through a lot over the years. Kim is on the verge of tears as she remembers what she went through over the years. The girls see that the newly engaged woman is getting upset and they try to comfort her.
"I had an eating disorder when I was 16 years old and that's why I dropped out. I would eat my meals and throw up after because of the stress of visitation with my mom when she came home from rehab. I passed out in the bathroom and was rushed to the hospital. I dropped out of school because I couldn't keep up with my studies after spending a month in the hospital. A few years later, I was in an abusive relationship with a man named Jeff Parker. He abused me, threatened me, cheated on me, hit me, gave me a black eye and he tried to rape me. Every time I broke up with him, he would always find me and make me stay with him. He even convinced me to lie about being pregnant once. I really thought that I was pregnant." Kim cries.
"It's okay, Kim. Even if you were pregnant around the time Jeff was shot and dead, I would have done everything. If you and Lorenzo want to have a baby after you get married, go for it. He would be really excited if you were pregnant after your wedding. You're going to marry Lorenzo and he makes you so happy that he would be willing to do anything for you." Amanda says.
"Thanks, Manda." Kim replies.
The sisters share a moment and they decide to go back into the squad room to go on the computer. Bella suggests that they get their nails done and their hair done the day before Amanda's bachelorette party and Amanda decides to invite all of the girls to get their nails and hair done before the party. Kim feels better knowing that Lorenzo loves her and is willing to do anything for her. Amanda tells Kim that she's glad that she set them up. Kim thanks Amanda for setting her up with Lorenzo. Everyone agrees that Kim is in a better relationship with a man who treats her right and loves her for who she is.
