"And he'd railed at her, his voice booming so loud the bed had seem to shake. She knew he was constantly there, was aware of his movement and comprehended his words, but she couldn't seem to open her heavy eyelids or speak. At night, he would wrap his body around hers, keeping her warm, whispering against her hair, "You enjoy being contrary. Then prove them all wrong and get better." He'd clutched her hip, then balled his fist there."

"I don't know," she said. "I'm not sure you would like me in real life. I'm a lot different there, you know. I don't even look the same." " I don't care if you look like a troll with warts," Sir Leo declared, taking her hand in his. "I love you."

"I'm planning to go redneck chic with the wedding," Maddy announced, looking through the racks of dresses. "What the hell is that?" "Redneck chic is a nice way of saying I have bad taste, but I'm embracing it." Sizing up Maddy's blonde girl next door beauty, I found her dressed normal. "Bad taste how? Is this about Tucker because, yeah, I see it?" Maddy rolled her blue eyes then walked to the next rack. "Tucker is gorgeous. He's the classiest part of my life." Nearby, Raven burst into laughter to the point of nearly pissing herself. I didn't blame her since we'd all seen Tucker fall off chairs and struggle with push/ pull doors. "

"Bailey sat on the edge of the couch and fed Maddy grapes. The very swollen mommy-to-be initially complained about being fed like a pet. Eventually, she gave in and enjoyed the attention. Not to be outdone, Sawyer turned a fan towards Maddy and was painting her nails. I watched them baby her and wondered about when I would be that big and uncomfortable. "I'm in no hurry to have a baby," Tawny said, maybe for the tenth time since arriving. "Not in any hurry at all." Farah grinned from where she was cutting carrots into little perfect sticks for dipping. "Coop is obsessed with getting me pregnant. First, his little brother is about to have a baby then his best friend. I swear whenever we're alone, he's inside me," she said then her smile grew. "It's awesome." "Huh," Tawny muttered. "Judd is in me all the time too and not because he's trying to plant his flag or lay his seed or whatever." "Jealous?" Farah asked and Tawny fake glared at her. "Sometimes, my sister irritates me too," I said and they both laughed. "I'm going to brush the baby's hair," Bailey announced to no one in particular. "When she's old enough, I'm going to put those little barrettes in her hair and make her wear headbands and turn her into a doll. Then when she cries, I'm giving her back to Maddy." "Yeah for me," Maddy whispered with her eyes closed. "Are you suffering?" Bailey asked. "Like should I do more for you to ease away the horror of how huge you've become?" Opening her eyes a crack, Maddy muttered, "Stop charming me." Bailey grinned. "Seriously, you look pretty miserable today." "I've been having those Braxton Hicks contractions since yesterday." "Is that bad?" Sawyer asked, looking up from her meticulous work on Maddy's toes. "Is it like hemorrhoids?" When we laughed, Sawyer beamed, even though she likely had no idea what was funny. "They're like practice contractions," Maddy explained. "They don't hurt much, but they're uncomfortable." Bailey frowned. "How do you know all this stuff?" "I read a book." "Yeah, I did that once. Not a fan." "You guys don't have to hang out here," Maddy said. "The guys are out having fun and you're pampering me. You could go to the movies if you want." "No," Bailey said quickly. "I need to be super nice because I had a dream that being nice will lead to a handsome awesome guy who is the fucker. I want that guy. He belongs to me and I'm sick of waiting, so shut up and let me be nice to you." "Sure," Maddy said, sighing. "This is nice, but I'm going to have to pee soon." "Do you need me to carry you?" Bailey asked. "Maybe. Ask me in a few minutes."
