At twenty-five after eleven, Avery pulls up in front of the apartment building in Maddox’s crew cab pickup truck. A few minutes before eleven, I headed down to wait for my ride. Travis joked that she would be late, but I didn’t really believe him. As I waited in the hot lobby, sweating my proverbial balls off in the June heat, I kicked myself for not listening to him and waiting a little longer before coming down.

I slide in the backseat of the truck. Erin is in the backseat on the other side of Brooklyn’s car seat, who is sitting in the middle.

“Hey!” Erin says with a friendly smile. Avery and Holly each offer greetings of their own and before I know it, we’re on our way to St. Charles. I feel bad being so close to Matty and not seeing him. I haven’t seen him since Travis and I showed up at his place to get my stuff, even though we talk on the phone or text daily. It’s still not the same.

“Jo Jo,” Brooklyn exclaims with a big, toothy grin. “I’m four,” she adds.

“Hi, Brooklyn. You’re four now? You’re becoming such a big girl,” I tell her with smiling eyes. I’ve never really known too many kids, but this one seems cuter than most.

“I tried getting her to say Josselyn, but she shortened it to Jo Jo. Sorry,” Avery says with a smile over her shoulder.

“It’s fine. Jo Jo is just fine,” I tell the adorable four year old sitting next to me.

After a delicious lunch where I pigged out on a huge quarter pound cheeseburger, steak fries, and a cup of coleslaw, we make our way to the mall for some shopping. The maternity store is actually next to the children’s store that Avery wants to go to. We split up and all promise to meet in the center by the two stores in thirty minutes.

Inside the maternity store, I’m almost overwhelmed with clothes in all different styles and sizes. I find a rack with shirts hanging on it and start plucking through for my size. I find several summer tops, shorts with weird elastic around the waist, and even some black slacks to wear to the diner. It’s also my lucky day as I realize they’re having a big sale and everything is buy one, get one half price. Nice!

Across the store, I see a large rack with colorful maxi dresses. The cool, cotton material looks thin enough to allow the breeze through without showing the world everything that I have underneath. I pull four different dresses off the rack in a variety of colors and patterns. Each one has a different neckline style including a halter top, spaghetti strap, thicker one inch strap that chris crosses in the back, and a strapless.

As I’m taking my purchases towards the counter, I see the sign that reads “Intimates”. I head over and realize that I’m probably eventually going to need maternity underwear and bras too. My bras
