Showering Surprises

I was due anytime now. Well actually I'm due next month. But same thing. I sighed as the masseuse worked on my strained back.

It was so nice of Tawni to hire a masseuse today, surprising me at Chad and my (a/n: I honestly don't know how to say that right grammatically) apartment. I've been extra stressed lately with my due date approaching.

"So, how are you feeling?" Tawni asked awkwardly.

"Better. Gosh this feels so good." I moaned.

"I'm sure I know somebody else whose hands can make you feel better." She said as she took a sip from her coffee.

"TAWNI!!" I shouted as my face turned bright red.

"Just saying. But I think you're good. We have to start getting ready." Tawni said looking at the masseuse who got the hint and started packing up then leaving.

"What do we have to get ready for?" I asked Tawni as I wrapped a robe around myself.

"Your baby shower, DUH." She said as she tugged on my arm, leading me to the master's bedroom.

"Since when did I plan a baby shower?" I asked her as she rummaged through the huge walk in closet.

"You didn't. I did! Remember?" She said perkily as she handed me a cute flowy purple tank top and a gray sleeveless jacket that only buttoned up at the top, along with jeans.

I sighed as I put my clothes on. And here I was thinking that she wasn't serious with all of the baby shower thing. But maybe that was just me hoping that it wasn't serious.

Once I was done Tawni made me sit down on the bed as she added light tones of make-up on my face.

"Tawni where exactly are we having this party?" I asked. I doubt it was happening here seeing the decorations, or lack of it.

"My house." She said brightly.

I couldn't help but grin a little to her obvious excitement. I guess maybe I shouldn't fuss so much. She has been planning this for a while now. And she probably didn't go too overboard…

Oh shoot…

I sighed and mentally prepared myself to just let whatever Tawni planned pass, no matter how extravagant it may be.

I have to give Tawni credit. The party was exceptionally fun. I walked into her house to see that it wasn't as big as I thought it would be, just family and close friends. I remember being greeted and fussed over by everybody there.

It was probably the most fun I've had throughout my pregnancy.

There was food, loot and lots of food. Also there were games. They went from the guests writing advice on photocopied foot/hand print on how to handle the new addition to the family (for which I was thankful for), then there was wherein a pair of people (boy & girl) had to place a diaper on the baby with only using one hand each, and I had to draw a line when they tried to estimate how big my stomach is with the squares of tissue paper. I don't need a reminder on how ginormous my stomach must be now.

But probably the highlight of the baby shower was the gift opening. Turns out Blake was doing fine and has somewhat forgiven me for what I have done to him.

He sent me the sweetest thing that you can find on a 3x3 ft box and a letter telling me how he's doing.

I almost burst out crying over that one. Then again, it might just have been the hormones. I was tracing over the words 'Uncle Blake' at the t-shirt of the stuffed bear that Blake gave us. I could feel my eyes watering again.

"Hey you alright?" Chad asked as he kneeled in front of me.

"Amazing. Tawni did an awesome work today." I smiled softly at him as I placed the bear next to me.

"Hey, I helped plan that one." He said smugly.

"Really now?" I smirked at him.

"I have skills Munroe." He chuckled as he leaned his forehead on mine.

"I know." I whispered as I closed my eyes.

He kissed me slowly and I couldn't help but smile at how things were working out. Everyone is being supportive, and Blake has finally let me know that he hasn't exactly dethatched from my life forever. He was too good a friend to lose.

A/N: Dear A, please don't kill me. here's the next chap! :D
