Chapter 16
***later that day***
"Oh Nicole!! Girl look at this dress!!!"Amanda held up a short red dress the looked like it was for barbie dolls.
"God!! Maybe for you but I'm pregnant and I'll probably be lucky if I can fit in a moo-moo in 6 months!!" Nicole continued looking through the racks for baggy sweaters and t-shirts, and some pants that she could wear for the next few months until she became huge.
"Yeah well, I like it and I think you should buy it for after the baby!! You'd look and feel sexy!!" Amanda threw the dress on top of the small pile of clothes in Nicole's arms.
"Sure, whatever. You just wanna wear it!! I'll get it don't worry."
Just then Leighanne came in the store with a bag from the maternity store. "Here I'm sorry but I saw the cutest over-alls for pregnant women and I had too.
"She held up the over-alls and Nicole giggled. They were HUGE.
"Oh god, I don't wanna be that big!! What are they? Size 71?" Nicole took them and stuck her head inside and pretended she was looking for something.
"Hahaha. So funny. What are you doing??" Leighanne looked at her like she had three heads.
"I'm looking for the big top circus. You can fit an elephant in here!!"
They put the over-alls back in the bag and paid for the clothes. Then they looked around a little and went back to the hotel.
***later that night, after the meet-n-greet***
Nicole and Nick sat on the patio with the cell-phone in between them on the table. They were both looking at it like it had just moved.
Just then Nick spoke up. "I'll do it first."
He picked up the phone and dialed, waiting for and answer. "Hey BJ....yeah nice to hear from you too...can you put mom on?...cause I need to talk to her stupid!!....Yeah I'm sorry...Hi mom....Yeah I'm fine. Listen I need to tell you something and I don't want you to be mad at me, OK?...Thanx.Well, I'm engaged to Nicole....Yeah I know I didn't tell you before but we didn't tell anyone....wait mom don't get dad on there's more...she's pregnant."
Nick took the phone away from his ear as his mom screeched.
"Mom calm down!! Are you mad?....No? Thank you.Yeah OK. One sec..." Nick passed the phone to Nicole who taked to Mrs.Carter for 5 minutes or so.
Mrs. Carter basically said she would help out in any way possible. Afterward Nicole called her parents. Her mom took it well but when she told her dad he hung up on her and said that he didn't want to talk to her again. Nick held Nicole while she cried and then they went inside and ordered room service.
